What gun to buy before the elections in November?

Whatever you get get LOTS of hi-cap mags!

I have to buy a CC gun real soon.. and haven't decided yet what I want.

Decide how you want to carry it first, then pick a suitable gun.

I have all the EBRs (lots of FALs, HK91s, ARs, AKs), mil-surps and pistols, normal cap mags and such that I need.  I did order...and hopefully will soon receive...a .50 BMG rifle.

Other than that...the best thing to lay in is a LOT of ammo.  If the administration is somewhat friendly to gun owners, ammo will still rise in price.

If the administration is NOT friendly to gun owners, I believe that is what they will make difficult to obtain.  Banning/taxing/environmental restrictions on ammo are more politically palatable and just as effective way to create restrictions on gun ownership and shooting.

No ammo = no usefulness of guns.

My 1st reaction was to say handgun.  357 S&W Revolver.  You choose the size.

Then I thought  a Ruger 10/22. Good for small game, and don't laugh, for self defense.  I wouldn't want to get shot by one     If you had that, you can buy thousands of rounds for next to nothing.  So you could have a life time supply of ammo.
 
  However if your fear is that as time goes by more and more things will be banned, and you would have your AK or AR taken away, I would say to get a 12 gage pump shotgun.  You can make it "tactical" later if you want.  It seems that in places where there are bans, shotguns are some of the last to go.  Plus on the ammo side you can find it anywhere and be able to stock up.

Thats my 2 cents

Lots of good advice on the WHAT part. But to address your real cause for alarm, I will make a suggestion on the HOW aspect. A legal, private party transaction, with handwritten bill of sale, will provide a measure of "insulation" in the worst case scenario. If you are preparing for the worst, do your best.   Mac.

I would get any  cheap SKS  buy a bunch of 7.62 X 39 and a case of 30 round magazines. I know it is pretty much a spray and pray rifle but it is light and there is a whole lot of them around for reasonable money. It also packs a decent punch. with the money you save you could get a different stock  and an inexpensive scope or red dot sight to improve accuracy a little. As for a pistol I would get a High Cap Taurus 24/7 Pro in 40 S&W. It comes with two 16 round mags and extras could be had for a decent price. Shotgun Mossberg JIC in the Marine finish with an extended magazine tube Loaded with 00 buck and Slugs. $400 will get you any one of these and some Ammo.

I have also given a lot of thought on what firearm to but ahead of the elections. But I'm finding out that it will cost more to fire that gun than to purchase it. I'm begining to feel as though the anti's wont have to go after my right to own that firearm they will just let the cost of firing it to be come an issue. I know we have to stay strong and not wavier on our rights but its sure getting old hearing the words not in stock or the price has increased for the fourth or fifth time since last year.
