I read thru some of these posts, and have to say, it's hard to believe some people live with their head in the sand, and take a denial pill twice daily. In 2013 we saw in multiple states, ridiculous gun control laws passed. We saw democrats push hard in Congress to get new gun control laws. It was the republicans that were able to put it to a halt in the senate. Had Congress had the make up it did in 2008-2010, any measure they wanted, would have passed. Just recently, Obama was calling for new gun control measures, just like in Australia. Even worse, he used a funeral for his soap box. Just because they have not passed the laws at the federal level, that does not mean they want them, and want them bad. It's not because they deter crime, as anyone with a lick of common sense knows the laws don't. It's all about control. Most of the hoarding has stopped as of late, but as the OP said, now is the time to be stocking up on reloading supplies, ammo, etc. You don't have to buy out the store, but grabbing that extra box here and there in the long run isn't a bad thing. The gun control freaks, heavily funded by Bloomberg mind you, and not the Koch brothers, are banking on gun owners who live in denial about taking our guns. These are the ones democrats parade around and say they want sensible gun laws. So yes, they very much want our guns, and just because they haven't done it, isn't because they don't want to, and not without a lack of trying. Yes gun ownership is up, but sadly a lot of those are not dedicated gun owners, and will vote for the democrats every time, because of the hand outs. And by the way, the 2A does not protect hunting guns. Wake up America.
