Boith for firearms of all types, and for ammo, particularly given the likely Obama administration's efforts to raise taxes on ammo be hundreds of percent.
In KY, too. I was able to get 2 boxes of .38 Special and that cleaned out my friends gun shop stock. He’s scrambling to get guns and ammmo, but is doing well from teaching CCW. His indoor range is packed.
I am gettng suspicious of these repeated articles. It is like the press is highlighting this issue so the lefty dems can call for more gun control by citing the increased arming by citizens.
BTW, it would be nice if someone would note, all these are legal gun sales to citizens who are not felons, at least not till the law changes make them so.

Glad to hear that some people still have some sense. My husband says there are enough citizens left that won’t stand by while BHO destroys our country’s essential nature. Hope he is right.
I read 1980 South African minorities(I know, extreme example) were per capita on the Afrikkan side, the most heavily armed people on the face of the planet. It wasn’t the quantity of weaponry. It was the will to use them that mattered. They never fired a shot because they were suffocated culturally at home and by forces abroad.
Yet another poor title from the MSM: it’s not reported as a run on guns, but rather a run on gun sales. What is a run on gun sales?

We will get new gun control from Pelosi/Reid/Obama. They believe the AWB, repealing the Tihart amendment and a whole host of other measures are all reasonable restrictions that don’t violate our RKBA.
The next big thing on the horizon, however, will be the demonization of the gun owner. Kinda like SUV drivers and smokers.
One does not have to be paranoid or histrionic to purchase guns and ammo now. Osama will not be able to pass a federal ban, but the Dems will vastly increase taxes on guns and ammo.
One of my weekend errands is to buy up 9mm (for the wife’s Glock), .38 special and .357 ammo (for my .357 magnum). I explained to my wife that we would not have to fight off Obama’s hordes, but we still needed to practice at the gun range. If bullets are going to be taxed at astronomical rates, we will get less practice than we need.
Of course, she was a bit discouraged when I said they would have to take our guns “out of my cold dead hands”.
Many people are stocking up in anticipation of mistreatment by blacks. The big EOP has also indicated he wants a private army of some sort. Time will tell.
Guess I'd better tell hubby what I want for Christmas this year, and it ISN'T another ring!
You also have to remember that Wisconsin just was taken totally over by Anti-Gun Democrats. They have the State Assembly, Senate, and Gov. Jim Doyle (Who isn’t a fan of gun owners).
I wonder how many gun purchases in a day it would take to crash BATFE’s computers? More than we could actually afford I’m sure. :o)
The old ‘60s radical in me thinks that with Mosin Nagants going for less than $100 and SKSs for less than $200 it’s almost worth it for everyone who can afford it to buy one just to freak out the establishment - which in this case includes Bill Ayres and his adoptive son Barak.
The M-N is a legendary sniper rifle (see “Enemy At The Gates”) and the SKS can be thought of as a “gateway assault weapon” by those who like to control things in the sense that marijuana is a “gateway drug”. I can see the ATF and state regulators saying of the SKS “Sure it has a nice brown wood stock and a magazine that only holds five rounds but it IS a semi-auto and it shoots the same ammunition as the EVIL AK-47. How do we know that all of those people buying them don’t have an AK buried in their back yards and are just using the SKS for training and as an excuse to hoard 7.62x39 ammo?”. Of course, we all know nobody would really do that sort of thing.
