You had the right idea about buying a good bit.
Being new at all of this last winter, my goal was to buy a bit because of the upward trend of shipping costs and metal etc.
Internet gun/supply stores must be making a mint right now. Both the businesses and gun owners all knew when the election was to take place, but reading about the shopping frenzy gives me the strong impression that many did not know the date....or that one of 'them' could actually get elected (despite many clear indications since last spring).
