Actually, after Sandy Hook, that's exactly what he was saying. Well, not take but ban. ARs, mags, "assault weapons", etc were all in his sights. Luckily at that time, he didn't have Congress.
But you're right, handgun calibers were a long time coming back. Hell, even .30-30 was unobtanium for awhile. 22LR took like 3 years; daily lines in WalMart waiting to see if employees would restock anything. Ridiculous
I am hoping this time it’s all new shooters and everyone who is in to guns stocked up then and still haven’t burned through the tens of thousands of rounds they bought.
But who am I kidding, based on posts I’ve seen here I suspect a lot of guys just went “hmm, I’ve got a guest bedroom I can make an Ammo can bed for the mattress to sit on...time to order a few dozen cases, there is a run on!
I am mostly joking. Mostly.
