    Default How many folks are buying for profit speculation as opposed to possession before any ban?

    Yourself or speculation of other's motives (overheard) or otherwise.

    I don't have any money for gun purchases right now ... and since we don't know exactly what form any new legislation (if any) will take, stocking up for either reason is risky.

    That said I should probably start saving up for a boat.

    Both. Buying for profit in the middle of a price gouge is super stupid though.

    It's a poll, you don't have to divulge anything.

    I belong to a couple of forums for other interests, including a wood-working forum. There was an extensive discussion between three other forum members about 'investing' in high capacity magazines. One had a couple of ARs, another had one AR, and a third had no real interest in shooting, but they split a 100 mag case of PMAGs between them. One is pretty adamant that "these will be a better investment than gold" in the coming years. The fever has already worked it's way down to the casual owner.

    I'm staying at a hotel in Murfreesboro, TN for work. There is a fairly large gun store right next to my hotel. I was in there last Sunday, and they were pretty well stocked. Friday evening when I got off of work, their parking lot was full to capacity, including the adjacent unpaved areas and the streets. I walked over there today at noon. It's packed to capacity, there are no AR or AK mags of any kind, most of the ammo is gone, and one customer was putting a serious amount of effort into buying one of the rental guns. I spent more time walking across the street and into the shop then I did looking around.
