I'm curious what you folks think the proper purchase priority is for you right now: ammo, hicap mags or guns.
Ammo: most here remember the Obama inspired ammo shortage of 2008. Finding .223, .308, 9mm, etc, were very hard to find for about a year around here. .380 was impossible. Often, when found, it cost more than now, and/or you were limited to 6 boxes or less. If you found and bought a lot, you were called a "hoarder."
During that same time frame, hicap magazines were difficult to find and prices were also jacked up. Even 25 rd mags for a 10-22 were affected. I had to pay a higher price to get some that arrived months after the order was placed. Previously, prices were lower, items received in less than a week.
EBR's were in the same boat, with orders taking a year to fill on some things.
All 3 areas were reacting to the Obama presidency...which may rear its head again. He didn't sign or push for anything detrimental to gunowners, but many fear a second term would be much different, with Executive Orders being signed almost immediately.
Ammo probably won't be outlawed, but mags and EBR's might be, or be severely restricted quickly.
The answers will depend on what you currently own, but I'm still curious.
Buy an AR, 5 mags then 500 rds, then back to more mags? Or 5000 rds, then more AR's? Or more hicap mags for all your guns before ammo?
So, what to buy? How much or how many?
