    I stopped by my preferred local FFL yesterday, and he admitted to me that he is stocking up on hi cap mags and ammo. Playing the market so to speak. None of them are for sale (HUGE stockpile - some dumb-ass came in with 150 GI mags and sold them for $75). If the worrywarts are right, he triples his prices. If not, the will go on the shelf for his usual moderate markup.

    He is one of the "sell more at a lower price" and comes out even or ahead of his competitors selling at higher prices.

    I'd rather be left wishing I waited, than wishing I had acted.

    YMMV

    Truth be told, I think our guns will be safe for a while no matter who gets elected. That being said, there will still such a frenzy leading up to the election that will probably drive prices way up. It could take a year for the prices to come back down even if romney does win.

    There's no reason not to buy now but plenty of potential reasons to buy now.
    Freedom isn't free! I thank every brave soldier who has paid some for me.

    Thats what happened last time. Truth is we don't know what the future holds. If there continues to be well publicized active shooter situations, we could be looking at another AWB by either party.
    If BHO is reelected he could hurt us, but IMHO if he is not reelected he could do the same as a lame duck for a couple of months using executive order if nothing else.
    The shooting at the Empire State Building is a perfect argument that gun control doesn't work, but the libs and the ignorant have never seen that argument.
    Truth is... we just don't know. I have way more than I NEED although there is always something else that I want. As a precaution I have bought several lowers in the past month. These will come in handy if we face another AWB worded in the same way as the last one. (that in itself is a big assumption) Unfortunately, a new ban could require registration of all existing weapons that fit into whatever catagory and then make them non transferrable. We could also see heavy regulation/taxation on ammunition.
    Do whatever makes you feel the most comfortable... any of these possibilities could be wrong. As for me? I will always feel more comfortable with a top quality rifle, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and a couple dozen mags.
