    Obama has his own agenda of how America should be and as he stated to a Russian leader which was caught on a open mike was "This is my last election, Then I will have more flexibility".

    I have to wonder how Obama will use that "Flexibility" to push his agenda during his second term if he gets one.

    This can be a real problem for gun owners and prepper's who get caught sleeping instead of buying before the hammer drops.
    Obama ran on universal health care so it was no real surprise. However gun legistration wise his administration has been very quite. Romney on the other hand has actually instituted an assault weapons ban in Massachusetts. Don't get me wrong I don't care for Obama (or Romney) but if you look at the statistics about 76% of the US population is against awb. I honestly don't see this making it through congress regardless.

    Also remember after the Zimmerman-Martin shooting a Dem in the house tried to propose a bill restricting fed funding to states with a stand your ground law. They pulled that proposal within hours because of pressure from their own party.

    If whoever wins and wants to put an AWB in place, how soon could that actually get passed?

    It would still take a decent amount of time to get passed, no?

    I tend to agree but I'm not counting the chickens before they hatch either.

    I'm holding off until after the election because of all the panic buying.

    If Barry wins, I'll plan to make some purchases by next spring. If Romney wins, I'll just keep waiting.

    Romney is soft on some forms of gun control, but he has been moving to the right during the course of this election. I hope it's because he's learned some things.

    I am not so sure about that, but that's a discussion for another forum.

    As to the AWB, unless there is a majority in the house and a super majority in the senate, no AWB legislation will get through. Are people going to panic and drive prices up in the short term? Probably. But I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon yet. I am comfortable with my level of weapons and ammo.

    Obama didn't shove Obamacare down our throats. It was voted on by congress and passed, because the democrats had a majority in the house and the senate. That is the only chance of any AWB passing. Even if so, the dems know it would be political suicide. We won't see a ban this term, no matter who wins.

    BEWARE THE LAME DUCK SESSION!

    Whether Barry wins or loses they could ram that UN treaty through in the middle of the night.

    By reconciliation in the Senate and by bribes in the House.

    Agree on a ban though.

    Whether spoken or not, I think this was always a clear lame duck session issue for the current president, and he was wise to keep it shelved during his first term. The fact that it had always remained (until very recently?) in the wording of whitehouse.gov urban issues page made it clear that this was considered unfinished business. Given the contentious nature of the issue, the most likely reason it remains unfinished is because it is smart politics to win a reelection campaign before attempting to force fit policies and agendas that might not be popular with the American people.

    Granted, we once thought that the takeover of the medical healthcare system or advancement of homosexual agenda issues (particularly in ending DADT within the military) might be likewise deferred, but perhaps it has only been a matter of timing and prioritization to this point.

    Not really sure either way, but I won't be casting my ballot in favor of more Hope and Change, regardless.

    My feelings are Obama will attempt to limited the availability of firearms and ammunition with executive orders or new regulations.

    Romney if elected may try something similar with some type of AWB if he were to sneak into a 2nd term him self.

    So now that its out and on the record do you think it may be enough to trigger another panic buying spree driving up prices and wiping out inventory.

    For new prepper's this is bad news if they don't pull the trigger on needed items such as firearms and ammunition in the short future if this new on the record AWB information from both potential presidents holds true.
    Yup. I just bought a new 6720 and three stripped receivers this morning.

    I'm 26 now and I wasn't into guns until about '08. How was the panic buying in 1994 or 1986 for that matter? Was it as bad as this?

    I have heard a lot of people saying that have been around that gun owners are standing up to their rights more now than ever. And, we didn't have ammunition online back in 1994 I would venture to guess.
