I have been reading more and more chatter on this and other forums created by the announced gun control measures being proposed by the Democrats.
I am curious if anyone has increased their prepping activities because of this. For instance, has anyone decided to buy more guns or ammo as a result (not asking for details)? I have, and the local gun stores have been cleaned out of inventory that would be the likely targets of the proposed bans - no ARs or AKs, most NATO rounds gobbled up, reloading essentials stripped bare, and waiting lists for backordered items -- now even the biggest vendors are not allowing any backorders of some items.
I managed to score some ammo I did not think I would find, but it was match ammo that cost $1.40 a round, so it was still on the shelf.
I plan to buy an AR in .308/7.62x51 NATO, because if these are going to be banned, this may be the last chance to get one for the foreseeable future. I have pretty much everything else I need, but I have decided I want the AR-10 clone of Eugene Stoner's original design, before it was morphed into the M-16.
I have managed to locate one, which was a small miracle in this panic buying, and it is being held by my gun dealer with a deposit on it until I can pick it up tomorrow.
Just interested in reading what is happening with other forum members on this front. Anyone getting one before there is a vote on the newly proposed ban legislation?
