Yeaaaaars ago there was the talk of a ban, and I think something got passed but ultimately never materialized (until now). My dad hoarded them. He also bought Gold when the thought Hillary was going to win because he thought she would crash the economy.

Right up there with the people who started buying guns like mad because they were told (gun industry?) that Obama was going to somehow take all their guns.
