I don't know if I believe this anymore I've also been threw previous Armageddons and this ones different politically coming new into civilian firearms I would say buy what you need now I don't see this calming down soon. If you already own several firearms I would say wait then.Welcome to the forum, and thank you for serving our country.
Having been through a few of these gunpacolypse's and a private citizen owning guns through the last 15-20 years. I can say, hold off until the dust settles before trying to buy something. You'll only lose money buying now versus waiting till the demand resides in a year or two.
