Handgun Sales Up 500%
Fox News | 10/14/01

Posted on 10/14/2001 1:51:50 PM PDT by pabianice

Fox News reporting that, since 11 September, US handgun sales are up an impressive 500%. And that's just the legal ones; black market sales must be through the roof. Rifle sales must be off the scale. That gargling sound you hear is The Brady Bunch stroking-out.

If there is one thing the attack on the US has done is put the gun-grabbers' backs to the wall. Will be fascinating to see what new lies the anti-self defense crowd concoct in the next few years as more terrorist attacks almost certainly occur and more Americans die.

Keep in mind when you really really need to have one, it will be waaaay to late to get one.

Yeah, that's what I need to hear.

I've been trying my best to comply with the "One handgun a month law," but it's sure getting expensive!

I have had to discipline myself to one firearm per calendar year. Elsewise I would go broke.

It's almost enough to make you want to buy one with papers on it... ALMOST.

all,

if you are after a great single action revolver.

I just purchased a freedom arms premier grade, in 454 casull. 7 1/2" barrel, 5 shot cylinder.

In my opinion the finest single action revolver made today.

Exactly! If the system fails, it will be every man for himself. I am afraid a lot of the big city types will be in big trouble.

I almost bought a gun the other day. Who'll give me the slight push to send me over the threshold?

Consider yourself pushed. If that isn't enough;

Go to the shooting range and practice. There are few things I enjoy more than target practice and seeing improvement.

Spent some time at the range with a buddy yesterday to get some much-needed practice. Boy was it crowded.

I purposely left the credit cards at home though 'cause I knew I would be tempted to buy another. And I was.

I think I'll grab the credit cards and head back over there today....

I haven't spent that much time with small-bores since I started preoccupying myself with one of these.

You would be better off with a sohtgun.

I make my share of mistakes, but I've never understood post TITLE spelling errors. The review button is your friend.

I must be joining the crowd 'cause I just bought my first handgun last week. A titanium Taurus .38 spl. A very nice girl gun. The shop owner told me they had sold 15 of that model in the last ten days.

Naw, I think that at close range, a swaed-off sohtgun is best.

joe,

great minds, think alike.

my desert eagle, standard black in 44 mag, fun to shoot very little recoil. although sometimes cases don't eject properly when the gun is cold.

do you have the 50ae? is yours plated?
