Thank goodness the Republicans have the majority in Congress. If Diane Feinstein was Speaker it would be all over Jan 3. Your right Sharkey, fight to protect our rights. 
-agree: the concept of a 50 per cent tax on ammunition, would price it out of most people's reach. Much less all the other restrictions. Contact your Senators and Congressman early and often.

I honestly think it's gonna take a little while buddy. Since the future of our weapons is in a serious flux state, panic buying, scalping and price gouging slimeballs are gonna be coming out of the woodwork until we actually KNOW what the outcome is.
I've even seen a few guys on a couple of other sites talking about selling their rifles just for the sole purpose of the extremely high market value and hoping to cash in on something they don't really use all that much. (I don't participate in other rifle sites but I have been keeping an eye on the moods in a lot of them lately - everything everywhere is going crazy to say the least)
As long as no one knows what direction anything is going to go in, you can expect a serious panic market for a while here.
Hell, when we had the bad floods here in RI a few years ago, there was a pump company who sold my father (49 year fire chief and STILL going) a pump for more than TWICE the value. He didn't realize it at the time but when he got it to my mother's house, I checked the internet cuz somethin seemed funny and boom, the fact that these jackwagons had just scalped a 49 year fire chief was blatantly clear.
Needless to say, I took a ride back there myself and had a little talk with them and we got it ironed out quietly :evil: however, there is no bottom to how low people will go.
The other side of the coin however is this - with our economy having been so tough for so long, businesses WILL raise some prices and in many cases, because for the first time in a VERY long time, very few people are haggling over prices and just putting out whatever cash it takes for what they want and the best we can hope for is that, due to constant business and good relationships with our dealers, they'll remember that we are the bread and butter guys that have ALWAYS been there for them and they'll stick to good business as compared to the GOUGE business they do with the panickers...
It's gonna be a high wind kinda market for a little while here buddy and all we can do is hang on and keep our eyes peeled for the things we absolutely need rather than spending mass amounts of money on things we just kind of WANT but could skate without buying right now.
