yes, they put the time and lacklustre energy into making a shopping list for us. We should be thanking them 😂

If the guns get banned, aren't you just stuck with a very expensive paperweight?

The is a risk. But if you want a semi it's on their list or next one to be on their list.

If it gets OICed then ya it becomes a paper weight (that only keeps the papers in your safe in place). In theory there may be a buy back but they won't give you market rate.
