Jeff, NO ONE's giving any newcomer a hard time!  There's a BIG
difference between an admission that someone wants to start out
inexpensively because it's all he or she can afford, and the fool who
promotes a barely functional Italian reproduction as a quality firearm. 
One's honest and deserves help, but the other is ignorant and doesn't
want any assistance.
