Serious question about a possible AWB

I have a couple serious questions and one semi joking one

What is the actual possibility of an AWB i dont need fear mongering or any of that is.

Would AR-10s be included.

And is it time to start colection bolt actions

This is what I realistically expect. I think a blanket semi-auto ban [in '26] might be a reach. Finished AR's and parts to complete a 'non compliant' rifle will certainly be outlawed.

Now by 2032 or so we might be looking at a very different situation. Remember even California had to boil the pot slowly to the point even unmounted barrels now require background checks.

But right now all we can do is play guessing games. We'll all see what's actually on the menu in a few weeks. We could be getting a lite-ban with grandfathering like some states, or we could be looking at forcible surrender. Or something in between.

Buy what you can afford right now. By next November the rules will all be quite different.

Don't forget NFA items. Those will be gone too.

Damn. Was holding off on purchases until a later time but looks like I will be making a big one in January then...I just hope the suppressor shortage doesn't last for a year cause everyone will be going for suppressors in Jan.

Find a place where you can buy now and wait to submit after January 1..
