Ain't no lie, baby, buy, buy, buy!
I've seen it mentioned in a number of threads, but thought it might be interesting to hear what people are doing, specifically, to take advantage of this little 'breather' we have in guns, ammo and accessories pricing and availability in the wake of the DT election and the R congress. Gun control, at least on the national level, appears to be on hold, and I'm sure we all know it's only a temporary reprieve - we will be fighting again.
In the meantime, 2017 is offering some pricing and availability we haven't seen in years. And while .22lr hasn't returned back to the glory days in terms of pricing, at least you can find it pretty regularly now.
So, in this window of time, what is your focus? Buy your first AR, AK or other semi-auto rifle? Add some double-stack pistols to the lineup? Stocking up on ammo and magazines?
As for me, I'm focusing mostly on the things I've had a harder time getting the past few years - magazines and ammo. I'm pretty happy with the guns I own and have slowed down adding to the lineup - most I'm interested in now typically don't fall under the target of the anti's anyway, so they'll still be a bit easier to get when the fight ramps up again.
I'm making sure I'm covered with spare mags for my guns - all 'standard' capacity, of course. And ammo, I'm finally starting to feel like I'm catching back up again to a place where I can have some ammo on hand, but still go shooting without worry of depleting the stores.
How about you? Any particular focus of whatever funds you may have, during this time? Are you doing your best to help keep the gun/ammo industry well funded during this time? What's most important to you right now that just about everything is available, and at some nice prices?
