Right, but when the Republicans continue their screw up over the next two years, watch for a Democratic take over in 2014.

My God people stop the fear mongering. Nothing is going to happen. Why?
1.Republicans control the U.S. House so no anti gun bill will pass.
2 It takes 60 voted to do anything in the Senate and there are 44 Republicans at last count and that leaves the Democrats 4 votes short a and that doesnt count our Democratic supporters. So nothing comes out of the Senate.

Ammo and primers are getting scarce because (in part) of threads like these. Public opinion is on this issue, is vastly different than when the previous AWB passed. Not many Democrats want to touch this issue and they have more important things on the agenda now.after the election results, no explaination should be needed. Fasten your seatbelts for a firestorm of anti-gun legislation...
Ammo and AR parts and primers are already starting to get scarce...
Got some of a receiver / parts order in a few days before the election with no problem.
But unfortunately for us the people buying it up do not think rationaly. they are buying out of fear and rumors. They buy up parts because they are not looking at the whole picture.If one fears a ban i can understand buying either a whole gun, magazines or a stripped lower but other parts are extremely unlikely to become banned. I guess a collapsible stock, maybe. I find it extremely unlikely that they would ban bolts, carriers, etc.
Two of the five were Scalia and Kennedy, and both of them will turn 80 during Obama's second term. You're darned right there is reason to worry.S4, nice way to bring in something completely unrelated to guns. If I remember correctly, the pro2A votes of the SCOTAS were 5-4 decision. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that if 2 more antis are put on the court, there is reason to worry. And that is a lot worse than whether or not a corporation can donate money.

Don't worry about confessing that you're a Democrat. I have a compost bin and drive a 12 year old Subaru, waiting for a practical electric car. None of us are perfect. Relying on the Congress to keep us safe from Obama, though, may be a little like counting on the Gulf Stream to protect New York from hurricanes. The Congress didn't block the reimport of US-made M1 Garands from Korea, or put into place new rules for gun stores on the southern border states, or recommend Fast and Furious, or send BATFE to Alaska to try and grab gun stores' bound books. That was all done by "the Administration" without the Congress.I agree that Queen nailed it. The makeup of the House and Senate makes passing an AWB very impractical. Additionally, while "gun control" is certainly on the agenda of particular individual Democrats, it's taken a back seat in the national party platform.
I kind of fear outing myself as a self-identified Democrat in this forum, but I'll do so anyway. While I haven't participated in any Democrat Party policy making in a few years, the last couple of caucuses I attended, nothing related to "gun control" came up -- and that was in one of the most liberal progressive districts in the country (I've since moved). There are actually quite a few Democrats who strongly value the second amendment.
I'm certainly not saying that we don't need to be on guard but there is just a bit to much emotional fear mongering regarding an imminent AWB threat.
Alright weasel, my two anti's was in reference to the belief that there will be two appointed by Obama.In good fun, I assure you...
It would seem that a rocket scientist would realize that just ONE anti would swing the decision from 5-4 to 4-5, wouldn't it?
Anyways, why worry? The President doesn't make laws, the dems don't control congress, and according to "the polls" the majority of the people love guns or are decidedly indifferent. And, after Tuesday, we all now see what pretending "the polls" aren't relevant gets you, don't we?
Be vigilant, not silly. I have to buy some 9mm this weekend, ok?
linky-thingy...(Reuters) - Hours after U.S. President Barack Obama was re-elected, the United States backed a U.N. committee's call on Wednesday to renew debate over a draft international treaty to regulate the $70 billion global conventional arms trade.

W-hile the dems do have the senate and the presidency for now, next election is only two years away. The way things are going, we might as well lose the house just for <deleted> and giggles. It wouldn't take much.
Polls don't matter to the dems. The healthcare bill bill passed despite the fact that the majority of Americans didn't want it. Why would gun control be any different?
Now, just make sure you leave some 9mm for me!.
And no, i am not panic buying, that would take money and i have none.
