What if.....

Ok so I just received an e-mail from the NRA with a link of an interview with Chris Cox from the NRA and they were talking about if Obama is ellected again he would instate another ''assault weapons ban'' so if this would happen could you stock up on stripped ar-15 lowers now and buy all the other parts after the ban takes place... assuming it does of course? Just pondering about the scenario

No one knows.

It could be anything from confiscation to you can own them but you can't sell them.

I would expect to see you can own but can't sell with mandatory registration.

Of course we can avoid this problem by voting for Romney.

I don't see it happening. Nothing to worry about. Especially if they go by the true definition of what an "assault weapon" is.

They didn't last time, 94-04. I'm pretty sure it was mostly cosmetic features that were banned.

Isn't that the key words what they define as an assault weapon. Didn't I read some place that any weapon that holds more the five rounds is considered an assault weapon in someplace in New York State.

Thanks

Unlikely to happen.

While Obama won't have to face voters again in a second term, members of Congress will.

In the current political climate, Congress won't deliver it to him.

What's a better investment?
1) Invest hundreds or thousands in firearms that might be banned in a number of different ways if an undesireable politician gets elected...driving up the price of the firearms, while causing parts and ammo to become unobtainable in a panic buying frenzy.

2) Invest hundreds or thousands in campaign donations for gun-friendly politicians to keep them from being banned in the first place...maybe even ease silly things like NFA laws, waiting periods, and carry laws.

3) keep your money and invest it in whatever way you wish. Donate man-hours to gun-friendly campaigns and groups like MSI or SAF to keep anti-gunners from getting office. You may also help further pro-gun court cases and laws during legislative sessions.

What if?

We spent less time (and bandwidth) worrying about hypothetical situations, and spent more of that time/energy in keeping them from becoming reality...


(I see smokey has already covered part of that in his post... )

But since the thread exists...I don't see it happening, since we will almost certainly have a republican majority in the house, and we have pro-gun dems in the house and senate also (some.) If somehow a new AWB came into play (not happening in the next 4 years) I don't expect it will be worse than the last one, since we have more pro-gun representatives/senators now than we did then, and a much higher percentage of people that do not want more restriction.

The real problem is SCOTUS justices.

I know everyone has an opinion in the matter i was just curious if the parts would still be available but no way to tell
