So far, there does not appear to be any rush to buy rifles, pistols, mags, receivers, etc. Recent gun shows have been relatively subdued.
I would say that this is likely due to one of the following reasons:
1. People are trusting that the Repubs in the Senate and the POTUS (and eventually SCOTUS) will not allow such restrictive and Constitutionally prohibited legislation to be made law. I think this is a bad assumption, especially when they need bargaining chips with the House. I had to have a serious talk with my son about how restrictive the previous 1994 AWB was and how it changed the pricing and availability of firearms, and it had a sunset clause.
Or....
2. After years of stockpiling, particularly under the previous POTUS / gun salesman of the century, people are finally saturated with what they believe is a lifetime supply of firearms, accessories, and ammo. Maybe the gun safes are finally all full.
Or....
3. The majority of the American people want this sort of legislation passed.
It will be interesting to see how busy the SHOT Show is next week.
