OP you're late to the party but at least starting to get on board. Yes, buy ammo. And guns. And mags. And body armor...
Since I've owned guns starting during the Clinton "AWB" I've observed state or federal restrictions or impediments including:
* Magazine capacity
* Ammo types (non-lead), non-penetrating
* Gun styles and designs
* Arbitrary feature bans
* Location of possession bans (schools, churches, X number of feet from...)
* Arbitrary taxes on guns and ammo
* Shipping restrictions and common carriers ending transit
* Growing list of "cannot be shipped to CA, HI, NY, IL, CT, MD, MA, CO, NJ....etc.
* Internet purchase taxes
* Spikes (up and down) in prices due to supply and demand shocks
* Laws passed and repealed on guns and ammo
* Companies stop carrying guns and ammo (Sears, Kmart, Walmart, Dicks, etc.)
* Pointless waiting periods
* Pointless state IDs for permission to buy guns or ammo
* Magazine bans down to as low as 8 rounds
* Bans on online ammo ordering (I think in CA)
Basically, if you want it now or think you might want it in your lifetime, now is the time to buy it.
