Reply #59: I'll tell you why I bought mine recently. [View All]

Obama never let go of supporting reauthorizing the Assault Weapons Ban, and now that he will be president and have Democratic controlled houses in congress, I think there is a good chance it will be renewed.

You may or may not know that many of the guns listed or described in the AWB legislation are popular, modern, ergonomic firearms that are useful for target shooting and self-defense (hunting too, but less so). These were not fully-automatic weapons, but rather SEMI-automatic weapons.

I'm bought an AR-15 lower recently because I can shoot lots of different calibers through it with the proper upper and magazines.

Prices could double on the pre-existing firearms (especially if an AWB reauthorization comes without another sunset).
