I was browsing a few websites that sell guns and have seen more and more ads saying: "Buy this now before Hillary gets into office!"
I don't want to make this a political thread, I was more curious to how realistic it is that our new President will re-sign the Assault Weapons ban?
I also understand that this is a marketing tool too, seen prices of many assault rifles go up since the ban was lifted.
Any takers?
I'd imagine that any of the leading candidates would sign a new AWB if it came in front of them (Romney, Huckabee, Clinton, Obama, Edwards), none of them are friends of gun owners, at least one of them are outright enemies of gun owners (Clinton isn't the worst of them either).
The political fallout would be interesting if a new AWB were pushed through. Black guns with most of the cool evil features were off limits for a decade, since the AWB expired, EBRs have become the most interesting and top selling guns-countless people have bought them and continue to buy them if for the only reason is that they can.
Taking that freedom that is new to a lot of people away could cause serious unemployment problems for people in power.
