As it has been reported recently all over the media, gun prices are up and store shelves are bare. My question is, how long do you expect this to last? I think it is safe to say that we won't see another AWB for at least a year, probably more like 2 or more. For those of us living in MA/NY/CA/NJ/CT/HI, this isn't probably going to even effect things much, unless they get their dream ban through: HR 1022.
As for scary things like child-proof handguns and ammo bans or massive tax increases, these are pretty unlikely at this point.
So do you think the post-election Obama hysteria is going to die down after he takes office at the end of January, or do you think its basically going to continue like this for now on until the next AWB, at which point things really get scarce?
My guess is that the hysteria continues until January 20, at which point people's credit cards are maxed out, 401ks are depleted and reality sets in that Obama isn't going to get his dream legislation overnight. Demand won't go below what it was a month ago simply because the bad economy also drives self-defense weapon purchases, but at some point, people are going to run out of money for $2,000 assault rifles that, lets face it, are more like a Corvette than practical tool.
