And now, not having had a real job for the last 11 months has soundly bitten me in the ass, in that I am woefully short of guns and ammo at a time like this. And, of course, now I gotta get 'em while they're hot...

Here's to hoping we weather the next 4 years without having too many of our rights trampled into unrecognizability.

I just got a couple myself... still a few more to buy before the inauguration...

Just a thought: even if such legislation were to take effect, it would be some time after inauguration. If I were in law enforcement, and someone suddenly started buying up firearms between now and inauguration, it would sure set my combat antenna to buzzing...

Just a bunch of us trying to get stuff laid in so it'll get grandfathered into any stupid anti-gun legislation.

Besides, why flag? Nothing wrong with buying guns, at least, not yet.

Honestly, I'm less worried about an assault weapons ban (which I'm almost CERTAIN will go through), than I am of his stance on concealed carry. 48 states have legal concealed carry (almost all of them 'shall issue') and this shithead thinks he can pass a federal ban on it? And the worst part? He's got the majorities to get it done.

[anterus]

Doesn't necessarily have the majorities to block filibusters, though. There's hope.

First off, maybe if it were illegal to do it, I'd give a shit what it looked like. Nothing against you, but I'm fully versed in my gun laws, and I know how it's worked in the past. Like Anterus said, this is a matter of getting things purchased before the laws become effective.

Secondly, the day I need to justify my right to purchase a gun, this country has become a tyranny.

Since you both seemed to have missed rattrap's point(either deliberately or because you're more worried about imaginary things), I'll explain; There have already been at least 2 plots uncovered to assassinate president-elect Obama, all of whom had massive amounts of weaponry on hand to try to carry out their bit of stupidity. All of which means that any cop worth his(her) badge is going to investigate anyone who suddenly starts buying up large amounts of firearms and ammunition between last Tuesday(the 4th) and inauguration day.

All of this is stupid anyway, since Obama said in at least one speech that he has NO plans for new gun control laws. That being the case, isn't is silly to spend your next 3-5 paychecks on enough guns and ammo to equip a battalion when, if you really insist on buying the bloody things, you've got lots of time to spread it out and not look suspicious?
