I'm going about this like normal. I'm cutting back on range trips but that is about it. I am shooting tomorrow to sight in my BCM but that is it. Hope I can dial it in with only a few rounds.

Hey gentleman, really appreciate the replies on this topic. I agree with a lot of what has been said. As usual the good folks at M4C chime in with great advice, & strong opinions.
Perhaps my way of thinking is a little to defeatist, but I'm just trying to be cautious. After reading some of these replies, I feel a bit shamed by my mentality regarding my rifles.
I spent a lot of money on my tools, & made sacrifices to obtain them. Current events are making me over think the future, & I'm really trying to slow down & enjoy what freedoms I have. Not that I think doom is upon us, (I try to be an optimist), but this whole AWB fiasco has put many aspects of life into perspective for me. Its a scary time were living in. I've been reflecting a lot....
I was on a walk the other day, along this trail that stretches for about 3/4 of a mile. Its smack dab between a residential area, on both sides are concrete walls dividing the homes. A straight shot. On both sides of the trail there are palm trees sprinkled throughout. On most of the walls graffiti is vomited everywhere. Trash from transients and meth addicts, all taking a shortcut to find there next fix. I was in a funky mood. My mind tainted by all the BS lately, and all of a sudden a young doe appears from out of the shrubs & trees. And it just trotted along, doing its thing, stopping briefly to look back at me. Making sure not to let me get to close. It was nice to see. It made me think WOW you know, everything else is such bullshit. Here I am looking at this bitchin' animal, its surrounded by all this BS trash, & walking inbetween all these crappy houses, on this shitty graffiti infested trail...
All you guys on M4C. You are the people that make America great. The substance, lost in all the garbage. Like that damn doe, strutting its way through the craziness. God Speed to our country, and the citizens who are worthy of it.
Dollar cost averaging... I think that's a good idea, and was doing that when there was plenty to be had. It sucks bringing back one where I would have brought back three for the same price.
I saw plenty of ammo in the LGS I visited last weekend, but it was $15 for .223 that I would pay $6 for at Cabelas (when they had it). They also had $400 stripped lowers and $700 complete lowers.
I haven't been to the range for a while since there's been the two hour wait for a lane and can't find ammo to replace the stash. I'll continue to practice w/out firing, and keeping everything cleaned, ready, and sharp.
It's the calm before the storm. The breath before the battle. The watch on the wall.
The coming few months will be very interesting.
