Right now the Obamessiah fears are being tempered by the recession fears in the private gun market, as I'm actually seeing more guns offered privately for slightly lower prices - possibly from the laid off or the deeply financially concerned. That makes now a pretty good time.

I was at Cabela's in Buda getting some stuff, and the chatter from the guys in the gun library and at the gun counter indicated these things:

- ammo sales are through the roof
- people aren't buying nearly as many AR-15s as they thought they would.

My guess is that cash strapped folks would rather buy ammo for the guns they have than to pop out $750+ (I'm being generous, Cabela's isn't cheap) for a new AR or bannable rifle... and that everyone is feeling cash strapped lately.

So to answer your question - you might have literally *no* time (GWB said he'd have signed the AWB after all) since I'm hearing chatter that the Dems might make a lame duck session push. Or, on the bright side, maybe Obama really won't want to interfere with the 2nd amendment at all. He said so on the campaign trail, so it must be true.

Word to the wise would be - make hay while the sun shines. (This from the guy who is taking his CHL class on saturday - yes... I'm a bit late.)
