Am I completely screwed?

[CAR-AR-M16]

I sure am glad I only paid $600 for my AR.

I'm glad I only paid $950 for my M16 (but that was 21 years ago).

That's just cruel.

Yeah, I don't know how you can live with yourself sometimes. Off topic, but it looks like the Lawton Fat Guys are going to be eating lunch without us today.

Normally I would agree with Flatwins that your rubbing it in, that your horrendously awesome M16 only cost you $950, is cruel...but....

When if not now would it be aprapo to do so? Brag it up sir

Yea, I am stuck in Duncan today, so I can't make lunch.

I just wanted to get one, I regret selling my Colt 2 years ago. Sold it WAY too cheap too, because they were dime a dozen back then. My armory is mostly .22s and an XD40. I sold/traded all my rifles when I was building my new shop, I needed the cash for the build.

What about overpaying for an AR now then when they are required to be licensed and registered the market is flooded with "assault weapons" and the prices drop. Wait another year or two and you can surrender it for a $100 Walmart gift card after the real ban goes into effect. If you do get in before the ban you can then chase ammo as prices rise and supply is short.

I think I might drag out my slingshot or get into archery.

That is where my concern is, will ammo be available for those of us who already have ARs and AKs or will it be so high you can't afford to shoot it anymore. I don't think that will be the case with .223, but any AK ammo 7.62 and 5.45 I think will be mighty hard to come by if an import ban happens.

What about a guy in my position who started accumulating parts to piece one together before all this happened? Right now, the only thing I lack to get a fully assembled lower is the stripped lower. I had one lined up that fell through just before this and now I have an LPK, JP trigger springs, a buffer, buffer tube and buffer spring, a Magpul ACS Stock, sling plate, MOE grip and some magazines. I'm wondering what I'm gonna do. My budget made piecing one together slowly a necessity, to begin with. Now, even if i find a lower to build, where am I gonna get an upper at a reasonable price? This all assumes the AWB passes, of course. If it doesn't or isn't nearly as restrictive as the one Feinstein is proposing, then I don't have much to worry about.
