Future President

All this talk I hear of future gun bans is scaring me. I am getting affraid of what might happen within the next couple of years. I've been thinking about buying a 50 cal. rifle for a long time, but now I think I need to bump up the time frame before everything that is cool is illegal. Do you guys think I'm nuts for thinking this way?

Unfortunately no... probably not a bad idea. I mean if you've just got to have one...

Buy it, unless you think that it might end up being illegal to possess

Yes, this is always a possibility.

But hey I didn't noticed before, Welcome to the forums.

To be honest, I've got a little shopping list I keep adding to for the same reasons as you.

It all depends on how the SCOTUS finds in Heller vs DC and if the Congress decides to try for another AWB. Remember, its not just the President. Someone has to introduce the bill, it has to make it through the House and the Senate, THEN get signed by the President. A President can support anti gun laws and have big plans to be a Commie Pinko once in office all they want, but luckily the Constitution doesnt allow the President to make decisions regarding laws unilaterally. Well, for now its that way anyway....

That is exactly why I am making a list and checking it twice. I know I have much more time than what is available between now and January.

About the only time things happen quickly is when there is a knee-jerk reaction to a major event.

A President being sworn in could be considered a major event, but it is not something most of the Congress and Senate will go into Knee-jerk, act before thinking mode, over

Welcome to the forum Tangelo from GA. I don't have a .50 on my list but like alot of us I keep one that seems to keep growing. The only thing recent attitudes and conditions will do is make me change the order of purchase, not the items themselves.
