Black Gun Buying Frenzy [Vanity]

Posted on 12/18/2012 7:56:40 PM PST by AdamBomb

I went to a gun shop this evening in the "South". This is a well-known gun shop but it's in the middle of freakin nowhere. Drove an hour to get there.

I went there tonight because, yesterday morning, I bought a "piece" over the phone so they had it locked up in the back for me. So I had to pick it up tonight.

But the real story was I couldn't believe how many people were in there. There were at least 150 people in there. All the parking spaces in the lot were full. Black guns were flying off of the shelves. Background checks were taking up to two hours because the system was slow. I've never seen anything like it in my life. They locked up the store an hour early so they could ensure they got all of the customers inside taken care of with sales and background checks.

In a related story, this guy that I know just went out a bought 7 AR15's.

Has it really come to this? I think the answer is yes.

Bought another AR-15 shortly after the election. I saw the writing on the wall even before the horrible school shooting. I am going to buy another handgun, some ar mags, and some 5.56 ammo as soon as I get back from a business trip.

“Several online sites are price gouging.”

We call that a “free market”. It’s one of the things we fight wars to protect.

Bud’s sold out of Mosin Nagants also. DAMN. Every rifle I have looked at in the past three weeks has gone “out of stock.” I hope they get more...

There are discussions in various leftwing think tanks today about how the government might actually go about confiscating our 401K funds.

I ripped up and tossed all their catalogues I had lastnight. They will never see another dime from me.

From the description, I’d say you went to Mackey’s.

be advised, it will ONLY eat MATCH GRADE ammo consistently, and that ain't cheap...

for long distance OK, but as a main gun, get a stock rifle that eats anything and add what you want to it

Bullshit, tripling the price of a mag to make a buck off the murder of kids is a company I will not do business with anymore. And the We are temporarily stopping online sales of guns is a sop to the anti 2nd Amendment weasels.
