Honestly this is what I would be most worried about. Even if its smaller like 10-20 cents a round, it will be devastating to those of us who actually try to shoot our guns consistently. They'll start comparing them to cigarettes and how dangerous they are and how sensible "only 10-20 cents" is and how we need to protect the kids blah blah. The public sheep with no firearm experience and even casual "have one just in case" gun owners will eat it up as common sense.
I feel like most guns will always be available in some capacity but ammo is the limiting reagent so never hurts to have an extra case of each caliber you shoot stashed away.
Gonna build a wall and make mexico pay for it! Amazes me that people hear that and dont automatically think hes a grandstanding egomaniac and totally full of shit! Also allnhe says is make america great again.....tell me how! What policy? What platform? Hes gonna lose big time.he's a lot of things but not a buffoon. He's a master manipulator, and people always underestimate him. He can beat Hilary, he will change his tune to fit the general voting public once he wins the nomination.
Hilary cannot really do this, she can't seem to control herself - look at her anti-gun stance, how's that going to play in a general election? Plus she's so unlikeable.
But I think the panic buying will happen anyway, since the election will be close.

My wife is locked in the cellar.
I think it's already started based on some of the prices in the classifieds.
I would be surprised if any new England state doesn't go for Hillary. I hope I'm wrongYa'll could save yourselves money and lifestyle if you work to keep Hillary from being elected. Won't matter what you bought if she does get elected because she is comming to take it away.
If hitlery is elected... There will be a 10-20 cent per round tax. But it will NOT be from Hitlery. It will be from ****ing tinfoil hat wearing, shit-brained gun owners running around and armflapping about hitlery for the 4 or 8 years (shudder) that she's in office. And before anyone here is offended by my comment, these shitbirds are not usually enthusiasts like us, either, these are the tinfoilers who forward each other emails from faux news and wayne lapierre that buy shit and throw it in their closet CUZ OBAMA etc but don't actually shoot on a regular basis. (Let's ponder things realistically, if even 20% of the post 2008 gun owners shot on a regular basis, you wouldn't be able to get within a year long waitlist on even the shittiest gun clubs in new england. )

Do you really think the House and Senate will develop suicidal tendencies? They'll never approve something like that which will cost them a lot of votes.
The fairest tax is the one someone else pays."We could reduce the federal deficit by charging $1 a round on every bullet"........it really would be that easy. It's like the cigarette taxes.....I don't smoke so I couldn't care less if a pack costs $50

I keep hearing from friends and reading on some forums about how soon everyone will be "panic buying" before november. I guess I'm just curious on others thoughts on this subject and how likely it is to actually happen because of the election. I sort of missed the last panic buy go round so really not sure what to expect as far as ammo availability and firearm prices but have been slowly stocking up here and there on ammo but nothing crazy. What do you think or expect to happen in regards to "panic buying" over the next 5-6 months?
Yes. The way it looks right now anyway is that Clinton is going to win by a decent margin. People will panic. Nothing will change.
Literally nothing is going to happen. Gun laws have loosened tremendously over the last 30 years. Over the last few years, we've gone up to nine constitutional carry states and about to get a tenth. A bunch of states passed anti-gun-control laws since Sandy Hook as a response to Obama's BS. Even SCOTUS has been on our side. Gun bans are a leftist wet dream that simply isn't going to come to fruition any time soon, Hillary or otherwise.
22LR will always be a bitch, that trend got started after sandy hook bs... plus the skinflints have all glommed onto that as the round of choice.

She'll get 100% of the FSA vote, at 90% of the hispanic vote. It will only take a small percent of the working, non-hispanic voters, to put her over the top.I am saying, IF she wins, she's got a very uphill climb to do so, and it currently looks like she isn't doing so well at it. Add enough people that despise her, and I fail to see exactly how she is going to get over 50% of the vote.

But, remember Obama never met a gun control bill he didn't like and he never got anywhere, so it's not the end of the world if the Hildebeast wins. It would be much more entertaining with Trump at the helm though.

You missed it. It was not really from people dumping their stash, but from stores that suddenly had more than they could move and needed to at least get back what they spent. $40 stripped lowers were around for a few months and $10 for 50rn ball 9mm was there too. It was quick though a month, two at most.
These so-called "idiots" may turn out to be foresighted geniuses if the shelves are cleared of .22, 9mm, powder and primers if the Hildebeast wins.There'll almost certainly be some pre-election hoarding by idiots dumb enough to listen to the fear mongers and those who decide to capitalize on that fear.

Remember, it's only hoarding when someone else does it. When you do it, the term is prudent inventory management.
I'm prudently managing the HELL out of my inventory
