That's because the nimrods out there buying ARs and high cap pistols don't know much about home defense. If they did they would buy a short barreled shot gun and load it up with 00 buck. one of the very best home defense guns out there. This is just the start of what is to come. With all these dumbshits out there buying guns and have no idea how to use them. No training, no nothing !! BTW did any one see how high the prices are going?? Gun stores are making money by the handfuls, so thank-you Mr president.

deadeyedick,
10-4 on the dipsticks snapping up guns. I have seen folks buying guns that are more of a danger to themselves than perps. All they are doing is driving up prices that won't come down after the panic is over. So someone explain to me how one is to keep a "banned" item assuming it is documented in an FFL transfer? A man ought to have the firearms he feels that he needs at all times regardless of the political landscape. Just who are these ninnies going to take up arms against anyway?

I'm surprised shotguns aren't flying off the shelves too. Not the over/unders or side by sides, but pumps and semi-auto's. With all the tactical jewelry available they should be more popular.

For the record, there was a third Elvis at the booth but he didn't fit in the frame. All three came from the same Elvis agency. They told me they could do any era Elvis you want, including Pre-Army Elvis and Leather Comeback Elvis.

I drew a lot of odd looks while purchasing a 20g Condor at my local shop in December.

The 10/22 is about the only thing that I don't have and want that might be impacted by any legislation (which i think is looking unlikely in the short term) and they're damned hard to find at the moment.

Dave,
I just recieved my first zombie targets in my stocking from the wife. She thought it was the newest greatest thing. I can't tell if that means I generally have her in the right or wrong establishments. I think she needs to get to the range either way.

I was in my lgs the other day and we were talking about the run on ARs and high cap pistols.

The two salesman there were laughing about how 75% of the ARs and pistols would likely never be shot and would probably be sold back to the gun shop (for .50 cents on the dollar) in the Summer when these guys wives want to go on vacation and they need some money......

Regardless, I did my part for shotguns. I purchased a new Mossberg shotgun for turkey season. It has a short barrel, it's all dolled up in camo and in a pinch I guess anyone who breaks into my home won't likely notice that the shotgun I'm wielding is field gun and not a special "home defense" shotgun.....

On the purchasing front. It should not be Obama, nor should it be anyone else what an eligible consumer wants to purchase. They should make the choice. Supply/demand dictates the price. Stick to sound economic principles. When my sporting goods store had Ak-47 ammo a 1000 round carton went for $479. When other stores in the area had them they went for over $700
