Re: Ok, I'm calling it - the Panic of 2016 is on

I figure if there is a ban on assault guns, we'll have a lot of civil disobedience just like what happened with the alcohol prohibition in the 1920's. It automatically creates a black market with rampant smuggling, etc. heck the previous assault weapon ban in the 1990's didn't work either. But it makes criminals out of millions of citizens. The government would have your friends and neighbors turning you in too.

But if the government gets nasty about it, then they will have the police and military start neighborhood sweeps without search warrants. The police and military have turned on unarmed and armed civilians in the past, so there is already a precedent for it. A lot of people could die in the process.

But the prices have started going up in some places. One store had some AR 15 lowers for like $99.99 each. They are all gone now and the prices if you order them are around $249.99 now. I would not be surprised to see magazine prices going up too.
