As others have said, if a 7-8 round pistol designed over 100 years ago gets banned, we have bigger problems to worry about...and in the event those problems happen, you'll wish you had more guns and ammo.
That said as soon as I moved to NH I started buying stuff that is banned in MA, especially 30rd mags. I know there's a chance that there could be some federal (or even NH-level) ban that somehow has no grandfathering and I'd be in a conundrum, but I'd rather take that risk and spend money on it now knowing that it's unlikely to happen--but not statistically zero--rather than just twiddle my thumbs waiting for legislation that might never come to pass. If there is some sort of renewal of the old federal ban, I'd have enough grandfathered to last. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
That said, it sounds like firearms are to you, as you said, toys. If that's the case and you are more concerned about being out your money, then you should come to terms that firearms are an activity that are always going to be tenuously tied to the political atmosphere. There are few activities that are as subject to the whims of politics as they are.
Right before the election I was getting as much 5.56 and reloading components as I could. I wouldn't get a loan or take out equity or anything, but any spare funds went into stocking up. I don't expect ammo prices will ever go down.
