Is that the latest named hurricane or something?
J/K. I don't think it's a bad idea to stock up on mags - all it would take is one MPS and Obama would be pushing for massive gun control - after all, he's wants to be a two-termer, and if that's what's popular, he will try it.

Check his record in his "home" state of Illinois. Maybe read this: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/10-15-2008/0004904149&EDATE=
A few years ago $4 a gallon gas was unimaginable. Some still don't believe that the federal government will buy/run/own banks.
Take a look around you.

The "buy before it is banned" is one of the gun seller's favorite lines. I prefer to spend my money on guns I want, not ones that will possibly be banned at some later date.
im laughing now. because thats a laughable statement.
hes against us 100%. and mccain is against us, id say about 75%. its only going to get worse, before/if it gets better at all.
the truly laughable idea is that anything will be grandfathered.

I would agree with you. I don't play that crap and the majority of my customers are too smart for someone to sell that to them.
However, the majority of "ban eligable" sales recently are for just that reason based on feedback from paying customers.
I think some of you pessimists who don't seem to give a ---- about trying to do anything about it (especially considering that nobody seems to care about how far gun rights have come in the last 12 years) should go ahead and vote for Obama. I mean, with your mindsets, it would seem better to ease into the socialism so that you arent surprised and overwelmed by all of it at once, right?
on topic: Bravocompanyusa has a great deal on AR GI mags with magpul followers. 130 bucks for ten iirc. AIM's hungarian AK mag deal is the best so far. New hungarian AK mags, Cope's has the five and ten pack deal that are great for the money, but the slightly worn AIM ones are much more cost-effective.

I bought a few PMAGs from eguns.com. Good place.
My money says things will "change" if we end up with B. Hussein Obama on office, and not for the better.
Restrictions/bans on firearms & mags at least, ammo wouldn't surprise me at all. If all that were to surprise you, well Mr. Ostrich, I sure don't know why . . . :banghead:
Even w/o "His" influence, at today's prices vs yesterday's prices, my very modest pile of ammo is earning double the percentage of my best 401k portfolio item. . . Every time I buy a case of ammo, I wonder if I should have spent that kind of money right now and feel a little guilty. As little as a year later, I can look at current pricing and smile to myself, glad I did. Not to mention all the desirable ammo, like LC M855, that is around now but can/will quickly dry up. I still wish I had bought more of the LC when it was cheap in bulk, as well as the Aussie F-4.
A case isn't all that much ammo when you're talking rattle guns. I can take the wife & daughter out for a day of banging steel and recreational CQB and burn 800-1,000 .223s through the three or four AR-15s we'd be running w/o batting an eye. Girls are terrible about economizing on ammo - better to shoot things at least twice, it seems. . .
The only thing I really regret buying were full cap mags during the ban, which looked like it might be extended and made it seem like "now or never". I paid an inflated price for mags that now sell for 30% of what I paid for many of mine. Good quality/condition milsurp 30 round AR mags were $30-35-40/each. Now, they're down around $10-15. Guess what will happen to full cap mag prices when any sort of legislation is passed?
IMHO, first/now make sure you have the scary looking rifle(s) you want, then stock up on suitable mags ASAP, then look at laying back some ammo.

To the OP, PMags all the way.

I bought some mags from CMMG, seem to work good. I haven't run a whole lot of rounds through them, but for $10 a pop (and you don't have to buy $1000 worth) they were hard to pass up.

The 1934 NFA passed and was signed into law in the middle of the Depression, the year after FDR (hawk, spit) came into office.
This guy is, if elected, going to have a big majority in the House and possibly a filibuster-proof Senate. Not exactly a recipe for good gun legislation. Say hello to AWB-II, with no sunset and no grandfather clause. Me, I'd rather have the guns, mags and ammo now, rather than look back and say "gee, I should've bought x, y & z back when I had the chance."
I'd get to the point of 20-30 good-quality mags per gun. Don't speculate and buy mags for guns you don't own, unless you're simply waiting for one that you already ordered to be delivered. 20 mags at $15 a pop isn't a fortune, but they'll last for quite a while.
I see a lot of similarities to 1992 already, the press has already begun to beat the gun control drum expecting a Democrat Congress and President to act...I would buy what you want and need now. I have been doing so for months.

You're all being mean spirited and divisive, just like the McCain campaign.

Simple Solution
If you feel strongly that some items, such as magazines, will be banned, you have an opportunity to buy now while they are cheap and easy to come by, and then sell them in the future if they become expensive and hard to buy. It would appear to be a win-win for everyone on both sides of the fence.
The buyers of today make a great return on their investment in inventory and the buyers of tomorrow still have access to these items.

Thats assuming prices go up. I am sure there are a bunch of guys sitting on 30 dollar AR mags that thought they were a good deal and thought they could make some money in the future.

Can they really issue confiscations even when it's straight from the amendments? If armagedon comes I'm hiding my AK under the floorboards I dont care lol
if there is no grandfather clause, then why stock up on it? Oh wait...the revolution. I forgot.
Sheesh. People don't even know what AWB will be drafted. It could be the same one from Clinton, it could be the Clinton one with a by-name banning, or it can be an outright ban on every non-sporting gun in the country with no grandfathering. Wait and see before you start going crazy. or better yet, write a good letter and send it to your reps and sen's. That would do much better good. Write other people's sen's and reps while you're at it.

well being political is on topic,because of the "getting ready for Obama" and "buy now before you can't buy them anymore"
Look,I'm not saying that a person shouldn't buy now,but buy now because you want one now,don't be scared into going into hock blowing rent or the mortgage to get that AR just because he gets elected and any dealer who jacks up their price just because of Nov 4 deserves to rot sitting on their guns.
I just went to the grocery store,a 12 pack is now a 8 pack same price.Just went to get my oil changed at a Honda dealership,they closed earlier come to find to cut costs and laid off some people.
My friend just got laid off from Cadillac after being with them 10 years.Come the next year or 2 you might be selling that AR at a reduced price to make ends meet even if it has been banned.
Come next year you may be freaking out over the cost of a pair of jeans or a pack of chicken instead of a AR or pack of ammo.All Im saying is yeah it is possible that a Dem controlled Wash DC might ban them,but don't let these wild scare assumption make you blow your debt out.
I see people buying left and right on gunbroker all the time,$2000 Lugers,$800 milsurps (and I have too but I don't have a family) and I wonder how much they'll be buying in the next couple years?What do you think will happen to the price of those guns when nobody is buying?

the 1934 ban was due more to alchohol prohibition and the crime it caused (think scarface,pretty boy Floyd).
Which is another issue,the war on drugs is a scam creating violence just like the alchohol prohibition.
as long as there is a war on some kind of morality subject that subject won't get better but will continue to create side effects just like drug profiting makes a gang do a drive by with a AK.
