comments on that article are hilarious and coming in quick. Already close to 1500 comments and climbing on there. I will be on edge awaiting the dictator's planned course of action.

I said it three days after SHTF and I'll say it again, don't overpay for an AR right now.


However if he does anything to imported parts kits and rifles you can expect AK's to skyrocket

An "assault" weapon ban MUST go through both bodies of congress, and the article quotes even a dem saying it has a snowball's chance in hell of passing.

Still a pretty big deal and worth out concern if he EOs import bans. If ammo prices never come back down its pretty much a back door ban on recreational use of ARs, at least.

This is gonna hurt the prairie dog outfitters. We took over 1000 rds each when we went out there.

If the sports can't he ammo, they won't be selling many hunts.

I don't know about that. Seems the POTUS can simply declare ARs and other so-called "assault rifles" a "weapon of mass destruction" and that automatically puts them under severe restriction with laws that already exist.

It would take a 2/3 majority of congress to reverse such an act (not gonna happen).

Refresh my memory, but isn't that what happened with the Streetsweepers?
