If so, then hell yes spend too much and get a rifle.
If not, then you're in the same boat as the rest of the country. That is, you're dealing with a panic buying mob with no real chance of an AWB actually being enacted.
So take the time to get your money together, read the stickies here in the AR General Discussion and also in the AR Technical Discussion and learn what rifle you want to spend money on so that when the prices drop and availability returns, you'll be able to make an informed decision. And remember that it's worthless without magazines, which of all the long shot bills has the best chance.
Get a stripped lower? Sure. It's not rocket science, until something isn't perfect. Find a knowledgable person who has done it before and use the best parts you can afford.
