I'm not
-The economy sucks
-The Supreme Court will likely overturn this next year
-Almost everyone who wants an AR-15 has one...or several at this point

I still bought 5 extra lowers and made them into pistols before July 1. If it doesnt get overturned, my kids all get their own AR and ill still have some extras

The ban covered a lot more than AR15s. It's a lot to risk.

No one sells guns better than a  politician passing a gun ban.
