Oh-No-bama

Well, it looks like Obama won, and the Dems picked up seats in both houses of Congress. I think we can look forward to a re-introduction to the so-called "Assault Weapons Ban", confirmation of some real left-wing Supreme Court and Appeals Court judges, and maybe an assault on concealed carry laws throughout the country.

Crud!

The "Assault Weapons Ban" would likely mirror that of the Clinton era: no magazines holding more than 10 rounds, no "evil black rifles" such as AR-15s and AK-47s. So if you want to get out and hedge against this, buy an AR-15 or AK-47, a bunch of high-cap mags for your current guns and the EBR, and if you think you might want to buy a gun that might be >10 rounds of capacity in the next decade, now is the time.

I think it's unlikely the measures would go much further than that.

As for the CCW-law assault, well there's not much to be done about that. Get your CHL now, and hope for the best.

I will accelerate my plans to buy a Ruger 10-22 and a couple of high-cap magazines for it. I might consider buying another double-stack 9mm. Just depends on if I can allocate the funds.

Speaking of funds, only imaginary math suggests that the economy is going to be better off with the government taking more of our money away from us. So you might consider buying now, while you still have a job. Any guns you buy now that will be grandfathered under a future ban will likely appreciate in price.
