I'm in the DC tv viewing area and saw this there. What will these people do next to steal our rights from us?

They have already lost 2x in court and have a decent chance of losing before the SCOTUS. But still they insist on defying the constitutional rights of their citizens.

Well personally I like my semi-autos a lot too. Especially my Springfield XDs. I've had handguns for 30 years but just bought my 1st SA about a month ago. Never cared for the way they felt in my hand.

But I've grown to really like this .22lr, may have to buy a few more.

Why no Marlin .357 in SS?

They make the 1894 in .44 magnum. I sure wish they would make the .357 in stainless too.

A few years ago they did a run for Davidson's but I missed out on those.

Hey Marlin, make the 1894 .357 in stainless please.
