Gun Sales soar ...
Well, at least we found one liddle corner of the Obama economy that is surging instead of tanking.
The AR seems to be the choice of a friend in the military. That will probably be the 1st class of firearm under assult by the gun grabbers. Also other firearms to be targeted for confiscation will be rifles like 30-06, 270, 223, SKS (762x39) etc. Look for this ammo to become scarce as well.
I am also hearing that reloading supplies and equipment are hot sellers because of the intent by some to tax, register, and limit ammo sales and possession.
These types of arms are believed to be on the list of prioritys based on what arms were confiscated, and what arms were allowed to be possessed in Iraq. Government believes that a revolt of the people can be severely limited by allowing only short range firearms possession.
There is still time to find what you want. But there is clearly a run on firearms above what a normal hunting season usually sells. This according to a friend who is also a dealer, and dealers at gun shows.
