...rather than incurring the cost of trying to comply with new "microstamping" laws...

I hope they stop selling to police.  That would really shake things up.  Even if police don't have to have microstamping, it would make a good statement if they did.
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

Brother Mike --
There's a nice house for sale on my street.

Lower cost of living, lower taxes, no state income tax, lower real estate costs, far fewer regulations, more net take home pay, less unemployment, no stupid firearms restrictions, 3 month long deer season...

Can you find me a part time job? I am getting tired of the 90+ hour work weeks. I can mow yards if I have too. 3 month Deer season is a winner.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

Perhaps we should set up a Mafia only neighborhood near Ted. Then he can "take care" of all of us schmucks! LOL.

That's a great idea. Just like Barrett will not sell their guns to LEOs in states that do not allow private citizens to purchase their products.

They should, although somebody else will keep quietly selling to LEOs there until a stink is made about it.
Reaction time is a factor...

His delivery might be a bit annoying, but it's hard to argue with his premise...
