Yes.

I have plans in action to buy more guns;
I have been stockpiling ammo and have decided to reload too;
I already have two resident carry permit/license approvals and have sent off for four more out of state (NH, CT, PA, and FL).
I will vote but do not trust any one of the candidates to post election be active in securing the 2A in specific. Not without very specific direction from the SCoTUS, which I am not holding my breath toward.

- Janq knows it's better to be wrong and have but not need than to be right and need but not have

I don't think they have it in them for another AWB any time soon (in the next 4 years say) because of all the political capitol they expended on the last one. Bullets are my primary concern because of so much talk of micro-stamping and such, so I'm looking into reloading.

I have a little "spare" cash to invest right now, and I am trying to decide if I should go with AR lowers or hi capacity magazines. I don't imagine the prices significantly dropping on either in the foreseeable future, just trying to figure out which will get the biggest bounce if a Democrat wins.

Quote:
Yes...I will buy more guns and stockpile ammo
However--my reasons are not based solely on the upcoming (impending doom) political mele, or the issues. #1. I'm now a member of my local club and have members only range access to two ranges in the area (I'll be shooting more now at any opportunity, than I have in the last two years). #2. I seem to have gotten hooked on the IDPA (USPSA) matches, and my application to USPSA will be sent this week. I'll also be shooting alot more of the matches (every time my schedule will allow). #3. I've already bought one new pistol this year, and that was a need on the concealability/hi-capacity summer carry option. #4. I feel I have all the bases covered on the needs/handle any or every situation as far as weapons at disposal, but buying more magazines will reinforce the current strength level according to the enemy's database. #5. I will be buying more ammo to support my interests and hobbies, and to generate used brass as a bartering tool. I have but one 'must have' firearm on the list even though it's actually a 'want' item. That PT1911. Anything else I would obtain before our country's state of the union/political change would be considered fringe benefits.

I am stocking up on the guns first, one more pistol and probably an AR-15 of some type, and then plenty of 9mm and 5.56mm ammo.

Caused me to finally order some reloading equipment. I figure if they can't get the guns, they'll go after the ammo.

I bought a new hi-cap Glock and extra mags and changed my mind about selling my m4 as a result of this election. As far as stockpiling ammo goes... I can't afford as much as I would like but I have been picking up a box or two here and there as the wallet and wife allow. Ammo prices are outrageous now but I guess there is little hope that they will drop in the near future.
