What happened to that thing where they were trying to freeze the buying and selling of handguns? I am getting my PAL and would like to get my RPAL but see no reason to waste the money if handguns will just be banned anyways.

It's possible for some current nonrestricted firearms to be moved to restricted status if the antigunners keep protesting against nonrestricted centerfire semiautos. And there are already rifles that are restricted. Not telling you what to do, but I would still get an RPAL now so I won't get stuck in a queue later if people start rushing to get it. As we found out with the handgun freeze, it can pay off to be prepared with an RPAL even if you currently don't need it.
