I stocked up during the Bill Clinton years... Guess I avoided the rush.
Think I'm OK for now.

Let me get back to you on that in 2016. Kidding aside, if you have been thinking about a new AR or AK anyway, why not consider it sooner rather than later. I don't see confiscation happening in our lifetime, even with Comrade Obama calling the shots. I can see a new "assault weapons" ban, though, since Barry promised that lady during the second debate he would get rid of those AK-47's. Or, if the Congress is not supportive of a ban, then excise taxes, application fees, increased background checking, etc. would be a typical Obama back door approach. Also, out of control debt and government spending has to produce inflation at some point. That's Economics 101.So what's the smart move? Do nothing different? Buy the potentially banned firearms/mags now while you can? Don't buy them at all if there is potential confiscation and buy more "tame" firearms like bolt action rifles?
You deal with a manager or owner, and he'll know that his January 1 inventory is going to cost him between 3 and 4 percent in ad valorem taxes.
So what's the smart move?
If you want to speculate, then buy plenty of hi-cap mags and stripped lowers. New PMAGS will never go below $12 a piece. There are plenty of stripped lowers available for less than $100, and I don't see them dropping in price. Ammo, ditto. It's not going to get any cheaper.
So, I think that hi-cap mags, stripped lowers, and ammo are pretty much RISK FREE investments at this time.
I suspect that most of the people on this thread who are saying that Obama is too smart to go gun-grabbing or that the Democrats won't let him, voted for him, and are trying to justify their own vote to themselves.
I realize that most people vote for candidates based upon their overall positions and not based upon a single litmus test be it Life or RTBA or anything other issue. But there is no denying that a vote for Obama was a vote against the 2nd Amendment. Obama is not an aberration either when it comes to the Democrats. The DNC platform is anti-gun. It calls for a reenactment of the Assault Weapon's ban and for closing the 'gun show loophole'. If you don't believe me go look for yourself.
I still say it won't happen, just like I said it wouldn't happen in 2008. I was sure proved right about that, and I expect to be proved right again.
