I'd get rid of them soon, if you're thinking of selling them. I went through this before, when Clinton took office. Stuff temporarily went sky high, then came back down pretty soon. Seems there really is no shortage of guns, and when the nuttiness wears off, good old supply and demands kicks in and things go back to pre-hysteria levels. Got rid of a Mini-14 last year; it's value was for really no more than its original purchase price in the 80's, plus inflation.
BB, hr 45 and the encoded ammo are separate issues and separate bills, as are the added taxes, there are other bills out there that are defining assault weapons as semi automatics, shotguns etc. just everyday hunting guns, look'em up. I can't post them here as they are political. As is this thread because the answer is, the reason people are stocking up on ammo is for political reasons.
Don't for get Insurance companies, Law enforcement, and our wonderful Court System. I'm in the Fast Food Business, and since I opened in 1990, I've shot 3 people in my lobby that tried to rob me at gun point. It's not the money in the drawer, as there was only a few bucks there. And the window I shot cost me a lot more. But it's the fact that some ill-raised youth that wanted to make a name for himself buy robbing the corner fast food place, and threaten my employees, and my customers lives is what sets me off. If I let them get away with it, than it will happen again and again like a gangster hazing. I havn't been robbed in almost 6 years since the last shooting.
Work to me is often a contact sport!?.
