Same with AR’s. There are three AR firms where I live (Rock River Arms, Armalite, and Lewis tool). They shut down for the year, and don’t appear to be in a hurry to start up. Another one, Les Bear, is worried that they will be out of business soon.
This is real. This isn’t a pr exercise. I do not understand those who claim a ban can not happen.
Good points regarding the ARs. What so many fail to realize is that to an extent, a gun ban is already in effect. The fact that people (and manufacturers) believe that a ban is coming is causing a gun and ammo run. It's a sociological reaction similar to a bank run. Whether there will be a true assault weapons ban is not the driving factor, it's the fact that people and manufacturors believe there will be one.
