Since the Orlando nightclub shooting on Sunday, gun sales have rapidly increased throughout the United States.

Adventure Outdoors Owner Jay Wallace told Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney that sales of AR-15s and other firearms have “really kicked up” since Sunday.

AR-15’s may look like military rifles but they are actually semi-automatic guns, which means they can only fire one round with each pull of the trigger. By contrast, military-style guns have the ability to fire multiple rounds with one pull of the trigger. The ‘AR’ in AR-15 actually stands for ArmaLite rifle, named after the company that developed it and does not stand for “assault rifle,” according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Wallace claimed that he has sold more than 15 AR-15’s per hour and may know the reasons as to why there is such a rise in sales.

"H.R. 4269 Assault Weapons Ban of 2015 seeks to..."

I'm pretty sure even the current crop of spineless (with a few exceptions) Republicans in congress know better than to pass that.

It might be tantamount to causing armed insurrection. ;-)

If Hilliary manages to get elected, of course all bets are off. It's a reminder of how much rides on this election.

GO TRUMP 2016!!!

My Dad had a bolt action 30-06 that was a fine rifle. Heavy though it had great range with power to drop the target.

Simple straight forward weapon to learn and become proficient with. I’ve never wanted anything else besides my pump. I imagine your dad had a special affection for his bolt action.
