Next AWB push - what would you buy now?

[revjen45]

1) Insert the de rigeur pronouncements of shock, disgust, denunciation, etc.

2) Note that at the political events where people showed up armed there was no violence. Had there been been some armed attendees this despicable wretch would never have been able to to do so much harm.

3) With the makeup of the new Congress AWB2 has slim or no chance. Of course Barry the Usurper may use Executive Orders to avhieve some similar outcome. We had better mobilize our political resources and be ready for some serious threats to RKBA.

4) Ammo is always a good thing acquire.

 

[Ethereal]

Why would I buy anything? I'm good and hopefully the majority here are also. Between the last ban and the more recent Obama scare you'd think everyone had their fill.

I wonder. Opening fire in a crowd might just lead to more casualties. It would take a miracle to get a clean shot with a good backstop in those conditions. Sounds like those you took this guy down did just fine with their hands and guts.

Uzi or Mac 11 clone(s) and plenty of mags. Thanks to Obama Scare '08 the market has plenty ARs and AKs and mags.

 

[Dell_dude]

I'd probably grab an FAL and order more mags (I have a bunch, but I could always use more).

 

[elsullo]

If you use foreign ammo, I'd stock up now. I don't think that the Administration needs to go to Congress to ban importation of foreigh ammo, they just decree it.

[biggie24420]

I would like to get a nice sniper rifle, maybe a rem. 700? and yes I would get more ammo and mags for my other guns. Good attire wold be a + .... body armor if you can afford it also.

 

[gaijinsamurai]

Magazines and ammo, and perhaps another AR lower, even though I really don't "need" another AR.

Also, perhaps a Galil/Golani.

 

[4dogs]

Get that AR I want, extra mags for it and my Glock and maybe more of them for my other pistols, stock up on brass, bullets and primers.

 

[Zoltan]

Picked up a couple of 30 round mags for the 19 and a couple of 22 round mags for the 23/27 just in case.

 

[Dell_dude]

Weird thing is, I just ordered 10 more mags for my G17 on the 7th.

In the wake of the shooting down in Arizona, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another push for an "assault weapons ban" of some sort. Given the current composition of Congress, I doubt something like this will get very far. However, you never know.

So, the question is this: if you were to buy something now to "hedge your bets" in case something passed & you couldn't get an AR/AK/whatever in the future, what would it be?

Personally, I don't really want or need anything new. But, it did occur to me that we might find ourselves back in the rush we saw prior to Obama's election.

I'd buy a ton of hi cap mags for any gun I might consider buying in the future: AR, Beretta 92, H&K, more for my 3rd Gen S&Ws and Glock hi-caps in all calibers. I may bite the bullet and actually pick up an AR-pattern rifle, just in case: never can tell what kind of grandfather they may or may not work into the legislation...

 

[rodell]

The consensus seems to be magazines, I agree. There have already been two federal lawmakers who said they will introduce bills to limit magazine capacity. One of them said "no one should be allowed to buy that much ammunition". An ammunition buying limit scares me to death, since it would likely have to extend to components.

Actually, any of these are scary.

I don't think there will be an AWB 2.0 but a movement to limit free speech. Just watch the following months to come.

Also, they noted how an AWB didn't work but they have noticed how we buy ammo and what happens when boats don't unload at the docks or the ammo doesn't leave customs (2A retailers and so-called dealers of which I like to refer as 'Patriots-for-Profit' are out to screw there fellow gun-owner). They won't ban the ammo just make it so expensive that we can't afford to shoot it. Also I see Hoarding/Caching laws coming down the pipe line, Arsenal permits for certain quantities and inspections on the homes of NFA owners with the possibility of certain semi-autos being placed in the NFA (I mean how much longer is Barry going to allow us to have Saiga 12's?), that is what I see happening.

I don't think any such bills will pass with a republican-controlled house. It's all silly talk just like the whole obama-mania thing was. We may be in for a rush on magazines though. I noticed that aimsurplus is almost completely cleaned out of all magazines. :/ Hopefully it will pass quickly.

Arizona would never allow an AWB though...

They did. Fom 1994 to 2004.

Note that they are already proposing a ban of being within 1000 feet of "certain high ranking officials". More counterproductive laws that can make things worse rather than better.

I will most likely pick up some more glock mags just in case. Even if there isn't a ban I could use a complete set to keep in my match bag. Of course if I see any deals on FAL/AR/AK/ (insert popular model here) mags I would pick up some for future use/trade. Besides - I'd rather load one evening while watching TV than spend the time to load at the range given the option.
