"A gun ban will not pass congress."

You better not bet your ammo on that. Best to get your AK's, AR's, etc. now while you still can. For that matter any semi-auto may be banned -- as earlier noted -- since they are not "needed" for hunting purposes. My wish list includes a high capacity 10mm (only Glock makes 'em so far), and an AR-10 to compliment my collection of AK-47's. Of course then I'd need cases of 10mm and .308 too. Too many guns to buy, too little time and money -- thus some of us get twice the rifles and ammo with an AK-47 than with alternatives.

I agree. I've been buying 7.62 NATO like crazy. Tomorrow I'm picking up either a Romanian AK or Yugoslavian AK M70A

I'm glad I've already got the guns I want....however, the first thing to go will be the hi-cap mags (again), second thing to go will be semi-auto handguns and import rifle variants....third is a limit on type and quantity of ammunition.

Couple that with mandatory 5-7 day waiting periods, crackdowns or suspensions of gun shows, and a host of other nuisance regulations intended to weed out the casual collector/enthusiast..... BTW, the G-21 45 ACP can use the 25 rd 2nd source mags..I've got some, works good....
