And now it is happening again.
So unless you are a teenager, how can you let yourself be caught with your pants down.

Forgetting that VERY old saw that "history repeats itself"?
The Clinton ban was enough for me, even though I was ready for that with a few pre-ban purchases.
The wild thing though, was right after Y2K, it seemed that ammo prices really cratered and I concentrated on case lots instead of any guns. Right after the AWB sunsetted in 2004, ammo prices rose in a hurry. Didn't matter though, by then, it was bought cheap and stacked deep. Still is.
A little imagination and foresight goes a long way to avoid panic buying.
It WILL happen again, so don't act surprised when it does, just Be Prepared.
