    Now that the democrats have won the house what will happen to gun control? Will there be a run on ammo like before? A lot of questions that need to be answered.

    What does it matter. You are a prepper or you are not. Plan for the worst, pray for the best. Live your life as your last day on earth could be tomorrow. Do what you do for family and friends. Enjoy life. Look for bargains on items useful to a possible primitive lifestyle. Practise simple basic lifestyle skills and tasks.
    .
    100,000 rounds 22lr ammo can be obtained for under $4000. Properly stored will still work just fine 75 years or more from now. Weapons and ammo is relatively cheap right now. One could easily obtain 10 AR15s for $4000 right now today. What do you want your legacy to be? Who do you want to have it when you are gone.
    .
    So many questions! So few answers you can be really sure of. Good Luck with all your decisions.

    I wouldn't be too concerned. For one thing the house is now going to be tied up for the next two years trying to get the goods on Trump, ignoring all else. This will be the communist party's downfall in '20.

    For another thing, even if they do pass gun ban legislation, it'll never get past the senate.

    Not to mention that POTUS Trump will almost certainly nominate at least one more strict constitutionalist for the SCOTUS.

    The only people who put a run on guns and ammo failed civics class.

    I doubt much will change, they will struggle to get anything past the senate and president.

    Yeah the Senate picked up at least 2 seats for republicans.
    The loosers were "moderate democrats" in red states who voted against Kavanagh.

    In my opinion, Those who do not own enough guns and ammo to arm at least 6 more persons than their self, are poorly prepared for an always uncertain future, and have thus failed history classes.

    Well I tried to collect enough to do that. But a disastrous home fire put a sudden end to my plans.

    I obtain stuff, I hide stuff and I never speak to anyone about the details of that stuff and it does not matter to me if that stuff is legal or not.

    I feel sorry for our Washington State Monkeys... Having to put up with the passage of the MOST Restrictive Gun control initiative in the county.... All because of the BIG city Demoncrats and the Billionaires that funded the campaign.....

    I went to 3 gun shops today.
    Basically my day off call to prayer.

    All ammo cases stuffed.
    One place was out of you know who 60 grain sub sonic 22LR.
    All spaces where the guns are displayed all full.
    Except walmart. The shotgun rack had a few empties. But it is bird season here in NM.
    The wall mart ammo case was stuffed. I probably haven't seen a walmart ammo case this full since George W.

    While my 30-30 was briefly stolen I looked at AR10s. Everyone was out of stock, everything had to be ordered in. If you looked everywhere you could find 1 or 2 for a ridiculous price.
    My friend who is an AR10 nazi always complains about this.
    I think the AR10s hit market over saturation during obama worse than the AR15 and just never picked back up.
    So an AR10 being out of stock is normal as far as I'm concerned.
