Willravel-
Well, I will say one thing about not buying a gun right now and that is this...
There is a possibility that by the time you really need a gun for protection during some kind of civil strife or defense against the government that you won't be able to buy one due to restrictive gun laws passed by our middling government.
Think about it, the government can't ban all guns all at once because that would cause too much of an uproar. A better way to do it is to ban guns slowly. Ban "scary looking" guns, then make regular guns harder to buy, then, eventually, try to confiscate what we already own.
Depending on if and when the 'shit hits the fan,' you may or may not be able to get a firearm. Although in such a situation you would be able to pick one up off of a corpse.
Maybe it would be safer on your part to buy a nice AR15 style 'assault rifle' now and practice with it. That won't make you a lunatic, just a cautious person who won't be caught with his pants down should you ever need a weapon.
Just a thought.
