I think people are forgetting that there’s still 3 months to stock up on these things.
Prices are already going up
Realistically, probably at least year or so from now. Hussein wouldn't take office until 1.20.09, and I doubt any gun control would be on the agenda during the first 100 days, which would put any gun control legislation into the fall session. Having said that, I'm sure they wouldn't want to do any gun control during a congressional election year, so it would most certainly be late next year if they are going to do it.
There could be trouble starting next week.
I wouldn't wait too long if I were you. Prices are already starting to go up. My favorite gun dealer told me that at the gun show last weekend he completely sold out of all pistols for sale under $500. I decided not to wait and purchased another KAHR PM9 and another Bushmater AR. Was looking at the Rock River AR this time but several dealers told me I would have to order one and it was 8 to 10 weeks. I didn't want anything fancey, just a basic M4 type.
Ammo is also getting hard to find and damn expensive.
It’s still unclear who will be sworn in January 20.
Next Wednesday, either there will be a big sigh of relief and sales will plummet, or stores will be empty by the end of the week.
