Good Time to Own a Gun Store

Lots of folks are snapping up guns in anticipation of them being harder to buy.

I've been down that road and I'm not biting this time around. I picked up an EBR in the early `90s back when only Colt made them and when Bush the First started mulling over banning production of them. Bought a bunch of magazines, too. Maybe if they had banned them soon after, that purchase would have been a good investment. As it turned out, not so much.

Obama is faced with a lot of very serious problems. I don't see him using his political muscle on this issue. Even if he wanted to, there are too many Democrats who remembered what happened after the Brady Bill was enacted to want to repeat that experience. Sure, there are some outliers in the Congress who will introduce legislation for that, but other than being used by the NRA others as a way to jack up fundraising for their PACs, the bills won't have any effect.

Just like abortion, the argument on gun control in this country is effectively over.
