Recommended purchases before VA goes to the dark side

[Trao]

I live in VA and am trying to decide what items may want to be sure to have included in my collection before things become too difficult to get or impossible. I'm happy with my collection just looking to add a few more pieces I may wish I have gotten later down the road. I know everyone has different opinions of what they may want but I'm looking for any opinions. I have most of the basics covered and don't believe revolvers, shotguns (typical) and bolt guns are going away this round. The first thing I'm going to add is the Five Seven Family but beyond that it's just a large caliber suppressor. Again just looking for a suggestions and don't have an unlimited budget but I'd like to hear what everyone thinks.

Looks like they're going to be a felony to possess anyway. Ask yourself, if your firearms/magazines/whatever else are a felony to possess, what are you going to do with them? If the answer is hide them in the attic and pretend you don't have them, just save your money

It'll take a while for that to sort out, but if it goes completely south I'll have a primary residence in WV.

Mags for all your rifles if you have different kinds (AR, AK, SCAR, ect) - I would buy at least a 10 pack of pmags (palmetto has daily deals on these for $70). Probably at least 10 Glock mags or whatever handgun you have. 60 round magpul drums?

Get another lower or a few 80%. Previous times it's been mags and lowers. You'll always be able to get parts like barrels and BCGs.

Decide what your line is and prepare accordingly.

5.7 is a toy. This is the time to buy weapons if you are that worried about it.
If your in it for collectors stuff, just buy replicas.

Talking weapons, when I say collection I don't mean antiques. Yes 5.7 is a oddity but something I personally was on the fence about so I don't want to regret not having one.

Don't assume anything.

Not all politicians are dumb, far from it. You know there are those among them whose agenda leads to restricting or banning parts. All those democrats in power, what makes you so sure they won't require all barrels and bolts and every receiver upper or lower or otherwise be serialized? CA already showed how to effectively ban using their microstamping requirement. You don't think others are picking up on things like that?

Hell, we already had periods of time where BCG's and LPK's did not exist in the market and that was without any legislation even threatening them

If you think it's important to have get it now

How about a boat?

What purpose does this serve, though?

Buy a couple of symbolic 10-round magazines for your guns call it a day.

Download some sample Firearms bill of sales. Fill them out with the name of the politicians that represent you for cash.

I sold all my guns to Dan Helmer at the gun show in Chantilly.
He posted a video on how easy it was. I see a red flag called in on him in the near future.

I would have an extra bolt for every AR I own.

In response to your original question, I’d be looking at mags, ammo, spare parts, and whatever accessories I think that I might need or just want. If a ban does happen, even things that aren’t specifically outlawed could become hard to get, because some companies will likely become reluctant to do business with customers in VA. I used to live in MA, and both PSA and BCM for example wouldn’t ship _anything_ there.

I’d also be thinking about another question too. I didn’t notice you mention the purpose(s) of your “collection,” but if it’s something important to you — be it home/self defense, competition, recreation or whatever — what will take over that role if/when using what you have now puts you at risk of prosecution? You mentioned a limited budget; maybe some of it needs to be allocated here. (No, I’m not advocating for capitulation, just a backup plan.)
