I honestly only wanted a handgun, thanks to the year long process to get my license, that's now probably never going to happen.

I then shifted to wanting a Type 81 and PCC, both are on the proposed ban list.

My question is: Is it even worth it for me to waste 3k plus on guns that will most definitely be banned and possibly confiscated? I'm depressed AF and feel like I wasted all my money on the license and gun safe. I'm scared to pour any more money until something definitive comes out.

How likely do you guys think these psychopathic tyrants will outright dis-arm us fully?

Just get one

Disarmament isn't gonna happen, they're like 60 years too late and there's a billion guns out there but that's not going to stop them from trying*

It's not hopium it's literally fact. All of this is unfeasible, I'd be saying something different if the 2020 OIC turned out differently
