Went to a local show today. It was very busy and local news cameras were out. As I left near 2pm there was still a line of folks waiting to get in.

There were ARs for sale from $1,200 - $2,000 and I don't know what the prices were a month ago. The magazines seemed high at $35-$40 for MilSurp AR mags. Ammo was more scarce than usual and prices were high. Saw some 223 on several tables and mostly it was about a buck a round. Shudder. Seemed like it was mostly sitting on the tables at that price.

I bagged some 380 ammo. Got 7 boxes (50) with 3 being PPU HPs, and 2 Federal, 1 Winchester and I PPU FMJs. All together averaged $20 a box and that was not outrageous.

I have a real sinking feeling at what's coming in the near future. I think Feinstein, Schumer et al are going to finally get most if not all that they have been longing for. I believe an AWB is coming that will be far worse than the 1994 ban, magazine limits are coming, an end to private transfers and maybe an end to mail order ammo sales.

But not everyone agrees. On shopper I spoke with was absolutely convinced there will be a magazine limit and that's all. I don't know what makes him so optimistic. The rabid anti-2A people will not settle for that.

There are dark days ahead for gun owners.
