Why 80%’s are Just as Important as Voting for Gun Rights

In this critical political climate we find ourselves in today, it seems like our rights (and specifically our gun rights) are not only being suppressed; but facing blatant infringement. With certain states facing downright unconstitutional capacity laws, inability to furnish certain attachments, and even the inability to carry a defense weapon; we as a people need a product that eases the headache of acquiring a weapon. And hence, the 80% market is born.

Why Voting isn’t Enough

Don’t get it confused, voting is important. You need to get out and speak up for what you believe in, and give yourself and your community a voice. However, simply getting out and voting isn’t enough. If you rely strictly on voting and waiting for change to take place, you’ll be waiting a long time. What voting doesn’t do quickly, is exactly what 80% Arms did do: they were proactive.

While voting is a decent way to make sure you keep your current rights and voice your concerns, it does little to give you more rights and is a slow and antiquated process. Voting to change the system of processes and procedures is next to worthless, so when 80% firearms came onto the market, claiming to let you sneak past all that formal red tape; and get the gun in your hands quicker—I was intrigued to say the least.

What the designers of 80% lowers did, was creatively think of a way to be completely legal and compliant with today’s laws—but give the consumer access to guns that we are constitutionally obligated to. By taking the initiative and bringing the 80% firearm to market, they completely bypassed what would have taken years of voting, legislation, debate, revoting, ect, ect to MAYBE accomplish what 80% lowers already do.

80% firearms are legal to ship directly to your door without a background check, FFL, or serial number (in most cases); which greatly expedites the process of obtaining your gun.

AR15 80% Lowers

Because 80% Arms lowers are compatible with all Milspec AR15 uppers and parts, there is no limit to how you can configure or build your 80% firearm. 80% AR Lowers are more convenient, often times cheaper, and honestly a ton of fun to complete. With no functional difference between an 80% and traditional lower, I don’t see why people are buying anything else.

Glock Compatible Lowers

Similar to AR15 80% lowers, these Glock compatible lowers will function perfectly with either stock, or aftermarket Glock uppers and internals. 80% Arms actually offers a Glock compatible lower in a different style and configuration; known as the GST-9. With more angle, grip, and different ergonomics; it’s a sweet shooter. Combine the GST-9 with your favorite Glock components, and you’ll never look back.

To Vote, or to Buy 80%…

Both! Voting is important, it gives our community a concrete and unified voice. But 80% lowers are on the forefront of the market; giving consumers quick, uninterrupted access to the firearms they are rightfully owed—without any waiting; checks; or red tape.

Exercise your 2nd amendment right, take what you’re owed, get out and vote, and buy 80% lowers.
