Get Your Gun Before The Next Assault Weapons Ban
With Obama as president and the Democrats controlling the House of Representatives and the Senate, a new assault weapons ban provision is on the horizon. The first assault weapons ban was signed by Bill Clinton and was in effect from 1994 to 2004. Basically, the bill outlawed “assault weapons” which are defined below:
Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
-
- Folding stock
- Conspicuous pistol grip
- Bayonet mount
- Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
- Grenade launcher (more precisely, a muzzle device which enables the launching or firing of rifle grenades)
Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
-
- Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
- Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or silencer
- Barrel shroud that can be used as a hand-hold
- Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
- A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm
Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:
-
- Folding or telescoping stock
- Pistol grip
- Fixed capacity of more than 5 rounds
- Detachable magazine
If you are looking to make some money, assault weapons or parts would be a good thing to invest in. It’s extremely likely that these weapons will be banned in the near future. However, if a person owns a prohibited weapon before the ban is enacted, that person’s weapon is grandfathered in, meaning the weapon is legal as long as it was manufactured prior to the date the ban becomes enacted.
People are already buying up guns, ammo, and accessories in fear of the ban. I went to a gun store a few days ago and it was packed. Everybody was trying to get theirs, including the store employees. One employee was buying 3 AR-15 stripped lower receivers, which is a good idea because the lower receiver is the item that will be banned. After the ban is enacted, if you have a stripped lower receiver, you’ll probably be able to find parts to complete it.
As soon as the ban is enacted, there will only be a limited supply of pre-ban guns and accessories. The weapons ban will drive the demand way up, while the supply of these items will shrink. As the supply dwindles down, the price of these items will skyrocket.
Some less pricey items to get before the ban are:
- 30 and 20 round magazines
- Pistol magazines over 10 rounds
- Extended pistol magazine
If you’ve got a bit more to spend:
- Complete assault rifles (AR-15, AK-47 especially)
- Machine Pistols (Mac-10, TEC-9, etc)
- Lower receivers for assault rifles

Basically, try to get anything that will be become illegal before the next ban comes. The ban may even be worse than the last ban in 1994, it may ban all assault weapons, so get your gun while you still can.
Amazon Prime Free Trial Gets an A+
I recently had the pleasure of using Amazon Prime free for one month. Amazon Prime is a new feature, original, and exclusive to Amazon.com. With Amazon Prime, anything you buy from Amazon will receive free 2-day shipping. You can also elect to upgrade to next-day shipping for only $3.99. The items include only merchandise sold by Amazon.com, not by their 3rd party merchants who have their own shipping charges. Also, there is no minimum order . You get free 2-day shipping on anything whether it costs 10 cents or 10 dollars.
I snagged the free trial last month and it’s been fantastic. Free 2-day shipping makes shopping online even better than ever. If I ever needed little items that local stores mark up, like HDMI cables or certain electronics, I first check Amazon because I love the free 2-day shipping. Part of the downside to shopping online is the wait between when your order is placed and when it arrives at your door. Amazon Prime virtually eliminates that wait.
Just last week, Hurricane Ike winds came through Louisville, KY and left over 300,000 people without electricity, including me. After 3 days, I got fed up with no electricity and looked for a solution. I ended up ordering an 800 watt power inverter that I could hook up to my car and power the basic entertainment needs (LCD monitor, laptop, Xbox 360, etc). Knowing that I had Amazon Prime at my disposal, I chose the upgraded next-day shipping for $3.99. The next day, I came home and found the inverter at my doorstep. Having Prime was a godsend because there were no local places with generators, and every local electronics store had power inverters which were massively marked up. The Prime membership saved my sanity!
Use the link below to sign up for a free 1 month trial. The deadline to grab your free trial is October 31st . Also, make sure to disable the auto-renew if you don’t want to continue your Prime membership after the trial period has ended. This keeps you from being billed the $79 annual fee.
Great Way to Earn $20-$50+ a Day
I was looking around the net on various forums for various ways to make money. A few months ago, I had posted about doing surveys and offers in return for cash. Surveys can be a little cumbersome, but I have found a MUCH quicker site to get paid.
Unlike the other survey sites, this website pays you to complete very short website signups and surveys. Also, a good number (about 90%) of the offers are free with no credit card needed. Here’s a screenshot of what I made in only 30 minutes. Imagine what you could make if you dedicated just an hour or two a day.
Also, here’s a screenshot that I took of the offers. This screenshot is not old, it was taken today, right before this article was posted. Look at the payouts and how easy the offers/signups are!
Here’s another tip for those who would like to try this program out: Get Firefox and install the “Autofill” extension. This will allow you to fill out forms extremely quickly and automatically. In turn, this allows you to fill out more offers/signups which results in more money. So, what have you got to lose? Fill out a few surveys or signups a day and you’ll get a nice check for it at the end of the month.

Alternatively, you can use the Firefox link below to download Firefox with the Google Toolbar. The Google Toolbar has a nice auto-fill feature which will accomplish the same task as the “Autofill” extension.
