Oh no. I don't care what you say. I'm still buying all kinds of guns I don't need with money I don't have. Big Grin

Like the libs say, never let a crisis go to waste. Wink

I am an FFL, and my business has increased quite a bit.

Event happened Sunday night, Thursday firearms, mainly AR variants started flowing in.

My business has been steady since.

Definitely not Newtown levels, and for that I am thankful.

I believe folks feel safer about guns with current House and Senate, Supreme Court, BUT, Trump is kind of a wild card, so still somewhat uneasy.

Thankfully rhetoric has been quiet, so hoping this is a minor bump as you say, and ammo stays available, and gouging stays away. I am still shocked that .22 is so stinking high and unavailable.

I can meet that, at least: I'm buying 12-round magazines for a gun I don't yet own and am not certain I ever will

I did also buy four more Lancer mags for my AR, but I'd planned to buy two more, anyway. I just added the other two... uh... "because." Smile

I'm always on the lookout for ammo bargains. Mainly 45 (Long) Colt and .357 Sig, right now. (Well, almost always, or I wouldn't have missed that killer GTD deal on .357 Sig.)

You can never have too much safe space.

I see what you did there, Fenris....

My buddy has a box full of PS90 mags and a bunch of whichever 5.7 ammo people wanted to ban for bearing armor piercing.

Never owned a PS90...

Here on the forums someone just sold 10 new or little used Magpul AR mags for $80 delivered.

If the hildabeast had won we'd be in a world of hurt today. I could not imagine.

These panics are the result of anticipated anti-gun legislation. We can be thankful yet again that Donald Trump was elected president. No such bill will get any traction with the certain knowledge that he won't sign any.

That's got to mean something..... Big Grin


I found an expensive rifle and expensive scope at the range once, forgotten and all by itself, its owner long gone.

I turned it in to the range office.

One.step behind you... I've been saving and knocking down debt in preparation for the November sales. Anything I've wanted for the past year, but had the discipline not to purchase while I attend to more fiscally responsible matters, will be on its way to me no later than the first of December.

Yesterday, after hearing on a reputable website that Nancy & Chuck were going after 1940's 6-shot .22 revolvers next, I DID buy one ASAP. Just to be safe. You know.

It's a flop only because of the 2018 elections. You can bet the dims will hit it full throttle again at the earliest opportunity following.

Yes, but that's the question, isn't it? When they're going to actually get that "earliest opportunity"?
