a drop in gun sales, and a THREAT TO OUR RIGHTS, have absolutely NOTHING in common...It may be time to do a little gun shopping. Bought the last one in November but 4 months is time enough.
Hmmmmmm.......
Well, two being the maximum simultaneous deployment, I’ll venture to guess that Mr.Elbow’s wishful thinking-inspired piece was typed with voluble graveyard whistling in the background.
Reaching saturation point? Saw a stat where US was 101 guns for every 100 people....
OK, here it comes:
“More and more guns are being bought by fewer and fewer people.”
That’s the Brady mantra; gun owners are a shrinking & troublesome minority, so it’s safe to go after them!
(Bulltwinkies.....the gun owning percentage of the population is soaring.)
Maybe everyone just bought guns for Christmas....
I wonder how ‘private’ sales are doing ..... they don’t show up on the background check radar.
I wish ammo sales would go down.
As for the drop in gun sales from last year, this is no surprise. Last year we probably saw a lot of pulled forward demand due to the talk out of DC. Sales are likely returning back to ‘average’. If I were a manufacturer, I’d be continuing with increased production so I would be readily supplied for the next big panic, which WILL come.
“...where the state’s handgun hotline registered only 7,702 handguns purchased in January...”
ONLY 7702...in one month?
That’s funny.
I perceive a threat right there. The law says a federal registry on gun sales is not kept and background checks destroyed after 24 hours. There are exceptions but normal gun sales are not supposed to be part of any federal gun registry. (by the way I'm not naïve when it comes to the feds. Also the NSA has the background check telephone call.)
It is a BS article.
Try to buy some ammo and see what you find.
Few months back it looked like the shelves in nearby WalMart were recovering a bit, now totally bare again.
Same with ammo and reloading components at the on-line supply houses.
And finally, Remington is moving to AL. Company formed in NY in 1816. Moving. hee hee hee
They were saying that the company was expanding to AL. But the local paper in AL said MOVING. Which implies corp. headquarters would be moved.
If you think this is over, you need to think again.
--maybe ammo manufacture can catch up, also-- Within the last month, I have been able to get back up to inventory on everything but rimfire. Last year, I stopped using overpriced and underavailable .22LR, resorting to my HW springer. After sorting out a few issues and rediscovering the fine qualities of a good air rifle, I don't think I'll be returning to the level of .22LR consumption of my earlier days even when that ammo situation improves.
Mr.niteowl77
Prolly cause everyone bought 10 guns each last year. :-)
I guess the financial genius who wrote this has never heard of “Market Saturation?”
I have faith in Obastard going to bat for the gun manufacturers again, next tragedy he decides to exploit for political gain. He can’t help himself. I wouldn’t be shorting Sturm Ruger stock just yet.
Last year, I bought all the guns I will ever need or want. Why would I do that again this year?
Well, OK... There is always just one more gun that I really, really want...
But my big wife-approved, budget-busting buying spree is over.
a drop in gun sales, and a THREAT TO OUR RIGHTS, have absolutely NOTHING in common...
