According to the F.B.I for the week of November 3rd - 9th they recieved over three hundred and seventy thousand request, for background checks on gun buyers. A forty nine percent jump since this same time last year.

I ordered a barrel from Bushmaster on October 15 - well before the election - and was told by them tonight it would still be another 4 weeks or more. I asked the guy about the wait on lowers and he told me it would be about 12 weeks.

I've seen runs on guns before, after 9-11 for instance, but I've never seen anything like this.

370k Background checks doesn’t reflect the sales for those with CHL/CCW permits that just have to show their license instead of a background check due ATF’s ruling that the permits exceed the requirements for a background check so are not required. At least that is way it is in Texas. I show my permit and walk with my purchase, no background check. Just my permit number on the 4473...

Add 150k plus more buys in that category as well....minimum estimate IMO.
