Hi Cap mag prices have tripled. Bought 3/$36 a month ago, and same item on same site is now $30.00 each. If they have them. Other sites are backordered out.

You in VA, by any chance? Background checks set all-time record here today.

AB, “Has it really come to this?”

What “it”?

If the Jews and Gypsies of Europe had done the same thing after the Reichstag fire, there would’ve never been a holocaust.

Has it really come to this?

It's just supply and demand. The supply is being threatened. People are doing the same thing with incandescent lights.

Town of about 4000 in Arkansas store was packed. Sold 35,000 worth in 3 hours.

I couldn't find any mags, so I had to settle for banana clips.

It’s like that everywhere around here too (TX).

B.O. & DiFi are going to be the gun salespersons of 2012.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

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

Sure must be nice to have that kind of discretionary income. Or at least a serious 'eff it' attitude when it comes to personal debt.

I’ve got my eye on a walnut-stock Springfield M1A SuperMatch—if I can find one.

I am thinking of converting my 401k into weapons.

Even after my penalty for selling out early, I would have made more than that back in the first year.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Stopped by a couple of my regular gun stores the day after the shootings. Both were busier than I have ever seen them and preban AR mags have tripled in price.

[jimbobfoster]

I checked several on-line suppliers. Most of their high capacity magazines are out of stock.

[Liberty Valance]

Yeeeee Haawwwww! ... it's hunting season.

BUMP for good freeping.
Thanks for the first-hand account.

Next payday I’ll be looking for a Remington 700 and another revolver. And ammo, naturally.

I am female, I want to buy gun for safety, easy to handle. Please suggest me.

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.

Same thing at my local store. One interesting scene was a woman coming out with an AR15 clone in the box, and put it in the trunk of her car with the Obama sticker on it.

She's probably back on Facebook now, condemning all those male cowards who think they have a right to buy an AR15. Fortunately for me, I wasn't looking for a Black Rifle right now (beat the panic buying), but was looking for interesting trade-ins or non-AR15 items. Couldn't get near the black rifle counter, anyway. Scored two items I didn't think I'd want until I saw them.

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.

One of my local stores was like Walmart on Black Friday this past Saturday afternoon. It was like grand central station.
