I'll wait to see if anything actually comes through the pipes before I worry about panic buying like a lame duck.

I'm thinking popcorn. We've got two years of Democrat critical mass to watch and I would hate to run out.
Any additional MD panic buying since FSA2013 should have started once Hogan did his photo op signing of gun control with MDA, crowed about the NRA not liking him, and indicated that more gun control would follow. At that point, the last, small bit of hope (outside the courts) were Hogan's nonexistent R coattails in making gains in the legislature (which he's now excusing himself because of Trump not his lack of effort) and the hope of an upset by Craig Wolf. But for all intensive purposes, the script was already written. I made a couple of semi-automatic rifle purchases after Hogan moved obviously leftward on 2A issues as did other tea leaf readers on the forum (e.g. I was a couple weeks behind R&R on one of these purchases - he was still planning on fighting the good fight - but was hedging his bet).

No panic buying; just Black Friday stuff.

No panic buying. Budget is tight. Probably all I can do to get my range badge this year - as if I'll make it up to AGC...

No panic buying for me, either. I might get an 80% lower on principle. Mags don't worry me...not when there are free and semi-free states within easy drive.

It has been 0 days since Bolts bought a gun. Not a panic buy just a nice price on a Ruger PC9. Oh yeah, I have a carry permit in a free state so no NICS just a 4473 into the dealer's file.

I've lived in MD all of my life (65 years) and been through more panic buys than I can remember. I'm as stocked up as a person can be. I understand the gloom and doom about our situation in MD. But one thing that is a ray of hope is that DJT has been packing the courts with conservative originalists. So as the left in the country has depended on the liberal courts to get their agenda that they couldn't legistlatively -- I think we may be in a mirror image position in MD. Where we have little legislative leverage our odds of prevailing in the courts are getting better. I look forward to this terrible Red Flag law to reach the SC as well as any magazine ban et.al.

Piss off, ghost!
I picked up some polymer80s from Midway for future builds. good prices, plus I have a feeling there might be increasing regulations on them down the road.
Amen.

I bought 2k of IMI 5.56, many magazines in VA, and will probably pick up another AR.

Stocking up on ammunition. If I ever manage to get a range badge I may use some of it. (It's a long long drive to a decent range for me.)
In MD, it's always worth being proactive before the General Assembly goes into session.

Don't think you'll automatically be safe in AZ.
Have they finalized that senate race yet?

Exactly, California is bleeding npc's with enough of their brains left to flee their own making, into Arizona, Nevada and texas like nobodies business.
soon enough Arizona and Nevada will become kalifornicated. Texas will be a holdout imo.
When Texas goes blue, This country as we know it will likely be entering the end stages of its demise

Did the panic buying from 2016 ever end?

It's a bit early to panic. No one has ever come to my door telling me to give up my firearms. Every time since 2000 when I got into target shooting and wanted to buy a firearm, I was able to buy the firearm of my choice, and that pretty much includes every type. What I got from the last "Big Panic" was outrageously expensive ammo and shortages of it, but the manufacturers weren't making less of it...it was being scooped up by panic hoarders. I'm annoyed but nothing more by the "wait period" for buying a sidearm in Maryland, but not annoyed enough to think the world is ending. Plus, the silliness of Maryland's gun laws leaves lots of loopholes. Want an AR-15? Get one with an HBAR. Want a bigger bang? Buy an AR-10. Can't deal with the 10-round mags? Drive over to Virginia, buy what you want and legally bring 'em back and use 'em. Yeah, I know, some folks are inconvenienced and I appreciate that. But it isn't time to panic.
