I guess I'm an optimist, but I don't think that'll be an issue by next year for a couple of reasons.carlson1 wrote:

Don't forget your ammo.
They are not forgetting theirs:

1) I think the likelihood of Obama losing is pretty decent. In addition, I simply don't see a scenario where the Republicans lose the House. Even if the democrats manage to hold onto the Senate, no anti gun legislation is getting through that Republican house.
2) Gun control has proved a losing issue, even for democrats. Would many of the Democrats in power love to ban guns? Of course. But we even have admitted Obama supporters on this site, who I assume are gun people so even his own base is starting to get into the hobby. Frankly, if they weren't able to pass ANYTHING (even a magazine capacity limit or further restrictions on selling) after a Congresswoman was shot, they simply won't touch the issue. Congresscritters on both sides of the aisle are self loving, self important types. If one of their own can get shot and it doesn't motivate them to pass gun control I honestly don't know what will.
All that being said, I am 100% committed to getting Obama out. His SCOTUS appointments alone are anti gun and reason enough for anyone who loves the freedoms we enjoy as Americans to vote against him.
Sorry for the slightly off topic political commentary on a rifle thread.
I also believe that people are worried enough about the possibility of potential bans that prices/availability of ARs, AKs, magazines, handguns and ammo will continue to increase as the election nears from so called "panic buying" alone.
I bought my first AK for ~$300 in August of 2008. If I had waited until November, I would have been paying $600.
If you are going to panic buy, I figure this month is about the latest its financially smart to do so. If you don't get it done by September, you're going to pay way more than you should. Just like in 08, I figure prices will start to depress and calm down around March of next year.
I hope I'm right.
