The price at which it becomes a felony won't charge. You'd have to do it in organized groups like the raids in LA a number of years ago.

April 26th, 1992, there was a riot on the streets, tell me, where were you?

While true, US guns aren't even on top anymore. Canik has become an unbelievably popular brand in recent years, and they're headquartered in Turkey.

damn I was unaware. guess I haven't done any gun shopping in a hot second (although that may change soon considering the way everything seems to be going in America lol)
