#1 What is NOT mentioned in the article is the second order effect of a decline in quality control. S&W has a lifetime warranty. Some of the others, not so much. Sending a firearm back to the manufacturer for work can be very costly and time consuming.

I recommend the following:

1. Do your product and warranty research prior to buying.
2. Rent the weapon you plan to own from a reputable range and run a box or two of ammo through prior to buying. Most places don't do 'returns' on firearms.
3. Inspect the weapon carefully prior to buying, especially a used weapon.
4. Ask about firearms safety and training classes. Training is always helpful, and a 'certificate of training' might prove handy should you ever have to use the weapon.

#2 I'd say it's VERY sane. A recognized threat from a dictatorial executive to stomp on 2nd Amendment rights and the Constitution? A rational response

#3 The second amendment ultimately exists as a guarantee that Obama can't do the same to any of the other Rights embedded in the Constitution.

#5 Buying them is the only sane response. The open question is whether it has become rational to use them...
