I have said this so many times but maybe once again. No, for the most part, as long as you can STILL buy it. However, and especially if you are younger, it might pay somewhere down the line if you at least can. If the up and coming election doesn't go the right way, all bets are off not only concerning , some guns, of course, but ammo, clips holding more than 10 rounds and the list goes on. JMHO.
