What does this election do for the future of firearms in America?

Staves off the assault on the 2nd amendment for 4 more years or until the (D) assumes power.

I hope it keeps ammo prices relatively uninflated

The SCOTUS appointments can have a lot to do with the future of 2A.

Depends on how long the liberal SCOTUS justices can hang in there. If one or two of them get replaced and it goes 6-3 or 7-2 with conservatives it could go a long way. All assuming Trump selects a constitutionally minded person and the Senate approves though.

Yeah, I took a big sigh of relief this morning. The panic should hold off for 4 years and we can go back to building what we want versus what may not be available.

I don't care about guns right now. I have 10 cases of Madam President shirts. What am I suppose to do?

Well, there go my plans to fund my upcoming sidecar build by selling my AR at double the price I paid.

Thanks, Hillary!

In all seriousness, with the R's in control of Congress it seems unlikely that we will see any significant gun control at the Federal level.

OTOH The Donald is notoriously thin skinned and susceptible to criticism and the next time there is a mass shooting the news media and the other liberal "opinion makers" will be demanding that he DO SOMETHING!!!!!!

And my fear is that I'm not convinced that he has any real ideological "Center" to keep him from enacting what will be characterized as "reasonable" gun control measures now that he no longer needs the NRA or Republicans in general in order to do what he wants.

Any further action on gun control measures will probably continue to happen at State level.
