[Bosco1911]

If all else fails Mini 30

2012 - Obama is re-elected for 2nd term -> Panic Buy

Dec 2012 - Newtown Massacre -> Super Panic Buy

NY, CO, CT, MD - Pass strict gun legislation -> Ultra Super Panic Buy

April 2013 - Gun Bill shot down -> Nation chills out???

I sure hope so. Is there any need for people outside of MD to be stockpiling PMags, Ammo and 'Assault Weapon' parts/guns anymore???

What other states have state level gun legislation in the works at the moment?

In other words...Can us MDers get a freakin break!!! We only have till Oct 1st!

You realize another mass shooting could revitalize everything, right?

 

[AliasNeo07]

I'm thinking that now that there has been a VOTE on actual legislation things will chill. Slightly.

We had 9 years to get what ever we wanted...

i didnt

Nine years ago I was a soph in high school. No money for guns/ammo until last fall before SHTF, and the last 5 months have been a no-go as I'm not going to pay $1600+ for a rifle that was $1k a year ago.

i was in sixth grade...no chance...

Don't see Oct 1, 2013 as a catastrophe! It's an opportunity, you are going to be amazed at the crazy crap that you really can still buy without MoM's legislation being able to stop you.

Belt feds, SBR's, AOW's, higher quality and more powerful alternatives. Watch and see. This law will not stop the procurement of anything really cool other than a few rifles. They really screwed themselves worse than you might imagine.

It's a good time to want quality military style rifles. Very few doors will be closed by this legislation.

The industry is devoted to making sure you're panicky and paying inflated prices for the rest of your life. Expect a new round of "but we hear DiFi has a new plan for an AWB next month!!!" talk shortly.

Yep, I got a bid in on a Lahti 20mm anti tank rifle as we speak.

Sgt Preston here...

Obama still has 2 more congressional years to get his legislation thru...

I don't see him shying away...

He'll be back next year...

Meanwhile I don't see the ammo shortages ending for at least 2 more years...

And AMMO CONTROL = GUN CONTROL

But she does have a new plan for AWB next month. And the month after that, and the month after that... She's not going to stop until she wins, gets voted out of office, retires, or passes away.

I expect her to try to attach AWBs to damn near anything that is on the Senate floor. Especially when it comes to schools, guns, or security. Even if it's doomed from the start.

 

[ShallNotInfringe]

It looks like it was just an amendment to a bill, but i cant find out what the bill was

Further research says it was the bill....

Theres too much crap on the internet saying different things

The main bill is S649. It is rumored that Reid plans to withdraw it today, but as of now, there were NO amendments that passed and cloture passed last Thursday on it.

Look here for the text: http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/senate-bill/649/text

*** Bombing - bomber blamed. Shooting - gun blamed. Benghazi - nobody blamed. ***

 

[squirrels]

I certainly hope Obama isn't parading those families from Newtown around like political pawns for a whole 'nother year.

But I wouldn't put it past him.

Between the disaster that is Obamacare and his flagrant opposition to the will of the people over 2A issues, I am hoping people finally begin to see him for what he is.

I guess that I can count my lucky starts then that I'm a 50 something geezer. I was lucky to get what I wanted during Ehrlich vs. Townsend in 2002. I didn't think that Ehrlich had a prayer, and the way Kathleen Townsend was talking about shredding the Second Amendment made O'Malley look like a piker.

Suffice it to say, I dropped a lot of coin and "front loaded" my lifetime collection thinking that I'd getter get while the getting was good. A left wing friend of mine ridiculed me at the time as being paranoid, but now I'm good to go. From a purely financial standpoint, I'm way ahead of the game even factoring the interest that I paid on the debts I piled up at the time. I'm happy to say that my toys have been paid for 100% for quite a while now, and my credit cards have long cooled off.

At the time, AR's were going for around $750, semi auto AK posers such as the SAR-1 were going for around $400, and we were awash in those Yugo 59/66 SKS's which were going for about $170. I remember at the time hearing the really old timers pining for the "old days" when AR's were around $400, and and SKS could be had for about 80 bucks.

All I can say is that I feel for you young guys.

Well next year are mid-term elections .... I am pretty sure NO GUN BILL will be on the menu ...

Thank you! So with this bill we are technically still not out of the fire yet. If it gets pulled, i think that would be a big sign.

I can easily see this dying down in 6-12 months. It just sucks for us in Maryland because we don’t have 6-12 months. Really though, all I am worried about is flooding Maryland with assault weapons. Everyone should have a friend in PA or VA that can get them magazines (If you don’t have one get one) and handguns will still be available despite the new hoops we have to jump through.

I think we just have to admit that we are in for a long haul fight. Maryland court cases will most likely take years to get through and even then, I’m not too positive on the outcome. I’ll see what the next couple of years hold before I make my move to PA.

The reason Dingy Harry voted against it was so he, the majority leader, can bring it back in the future.

 

[Lanceman_1]

Locally things will remain high and hard to find. Online prices for ammo will hopefully start to trickle down. Its really causing problems for me I just got into long range shooting a few months back and quality 308 ammo is hard to find. Not to mention I really wanted to get a flat shooting groundhog gun in 204 ruger or 22-250 but lack of ammo has put off buying a new caliber. All I've been shootin is 30-06 since I have loads of hxp. I know I know reload but with a 4 year old step son a son on the way and working 64+hrs a week I just don't have the time.

I have a savage 204 w/accutrigger I bought for praire dog shooting a few years back I will sell ya. Hit me up. I am also waiting for ammo prices to come down a little bit. Hopefully sooner than later.

 

[rmiddle]

Nope. Prices will be jacked for at least 6 months to a year because no one will want to take a loss on all the crap they overpaid for, including dealers who've now back-ordered stuff for a couple months at panic prices.

Nope Prices on Guns have already started to go back down. You are still stuck paying retail right now but most guns can be had from around retail when you can find them. I have had better luck buying out of state were the shops aren't dealing with SB281.

Thanks
Robert

The long-term solution is to make as many new shooters as you can.

I have ordered 35 lower receivers that a local gun shop is transferring to my friends. About 2/3 of those will go to new shooters.

This legislation really woke people up. We need to make sure we grow our numbers.

 

[MDlocal]

Def hope so!
I agree this has woken people up. People I didn't know cared voiced to me how they didn't support what Obama was trying to do. I told every one of them to contact their representative and let them know.
