I think it is a very real threat that Florida could eventually adopt gun restrictions similar to California. It has not worked out too well for California residents... I have family in New York state that seem to be restricted as to what they can own and/or purchase. It is so interesting how politics swing. Just a couple years ago, there was a firearm related show on much of the time. Now, all of those shows seem to have disappeared.

Also, I know many thought it was delusional to think that suppressors would be removed from the NFA list but it definitely seemed like there was a slim chance just 2 years ago. Now, it doesn't seem to be conceivable in the future.

Except our current leader hasn't made any threats, so gun sales are very slow now. But a few years ago, every time Obozo would flap his gums, the FFL's I know would have huge smiles at the end of a gun show. They're not smiling now. GARY

When you factor in about 17% inflation since he got elected in 2008, guns & ammo have gone down in price significantly more than people realize.

These were a hot commodity. I had a few lowers and no bcgs and boy were they expensive lol. I still think ammo and mags are the best way to go.

Not curios and relics, just types in current production like ARs. "Collecting" something that's pouring off a production line is not a wise choice.

So you saw that Floeida gun bill coming last year? Well, you are a better man than most of us.

The only people subject to "fear" are those not prepared. Witness what happens when a hurricane approaches. Talking about preparing BEFORE a storm is not "fear mongering."

Feel free to ignore any discussion here that offends you.
Another panic thread, really? :lol:

With how cheap AR stuff is, I don't think grabbing a lower or two and stashing them in the safe is a bad idea at all. I think it will be highly unlikely they' dive much cheaper than they are right now.

Yeah, the panicked tone here is terrifying.
