Sharps, I agree that what you describe could be a very likely eventuality. The bigger issue is the timeline. Plenty of people thought it would have happened by now, others think it's happened and we the people just don't recognize it yet. Or it could come to pass next week, or it might be decades longer.
A serious attempt at a gun ban is certainly not out of the question in the next 4 years though, depending in how the elections go.
As always, diversification of investments is the best way to go. Currently, guns generally don't make for a good sector over the long term. A little preparation goes a long way, but if I had a family member who told me they were considering taking a significant portion of retirement savings to turn into firearms as an investment, I would advise caution.
