Yep, I have 2 AR lowers put away, and am stocking up on hi-cap mags.
My concern is regarding class III firearms, as I am working to aquire a M14 as we speak. With the scrutny we go through for them I think they are fairly safe ....but

I doubt that the socialists in Congress will mess with Class 3 weapons, as they are highly regulated and generate lots of cash.

As for Congress being more important that is true, but it does worry me. Most of them are too stupid to consider the facts and instead would run off of a cliff if their party leader told them to do so. For that reason I have no faith in their ability to make a decent decision as most of them have never held a real job of any substance and many of them seem to be prone to excessive drinking,parting,pandering and doing just about anything other than doing what is best for this country.

Clinton got elected twice, and look at the crap that passed when he/she was in there. If Clinton gets in there again, look for much worse to happen as she is openly hostile to the ideals of this nation.Then we have a guy that thinks its OK to marry several woman, thinks Jesus and the Devil are brothers, another that converted from being a Muslim to a "Christian" because he was told that a Muslim wouldn't be elected as a president of the U.S., a couple more that would put the interests of the United Nations over that of the U.S. and do their best to blend us all into one happy global economy.

Yeah, we've got a lot to look forward to alright...

I doubt that any of it is good.

We're drifting into the prohibited political discussion area.

Don't go there...

I plan on taking my $1200 of the Income Re-Distribution Plan to buy hi-cap mags and maybe another pistol.

Ok..back to the topic.

I dont plan on stockpiling because I am already "stockpiled".
I dont trust any of them.

As of early last summer I purposely got into reloading for this reason, and have been loading my main calibers as money allows. Sitting on many K's of 223, 45acp, and 762x39. I will also be selling a few SKS's to get another AK and more mags.

Unfortunately this type of thinking weather it pans out to be true or not always
causes panic buying and drives up the price on everything gun related.. but I do think it's a real concern.
Get out there and vote People!!!!!! let's do our best to keep gun grabbers out of office. This is as important as stocking up.

I've got everything I need to last a long while in the country. Perhaps I should invest in a bunch of hogs.

Ammo, magazines (the bigger the better), and spare parts for your "go-to" guns is always a good idea, but maybe more now than ever....


Peace,

Yep. If my income tax redistribution check isn't used to pay the IRS, it'll go toward guns, mags, and ammo.

If my refund is used to pay the IRS, I'll still be buying guns, mags, and ammo before the election.

Wow if the news ever takes pictures of my house they are going to have a field day. With all the reloading I've done and ammo I've purchased over the past 30 years I think I could hold out for a long time. One thing I strongly believe. You can't have too many guns or too much ammo. Over the years between the .223, .308, 45/70 and hand gun ammo I'd tear my back up just trying to move it from one place to another. I've also got plenty of powder, primers and bullets to keep the supply up but only if I can travel with my loading equipment. Living in the country should mean that I wouldn't have to move. I've got a friend that used to work at Egland AFB and picked up hundreds of rounds of various loads of 50 cal. He then picked up a really nice Barrett. Now I'd love to talk him out of all that ammo and gun before the election.
