Title: Guns Sales (and stocks) on up tic. Henry Rifle Ad
Post by: alfsauve on September 10, 2012, 06:40:06 AM: I'm sure we've all seen the stories about gun sales being on the up tic and how firearms makers' stocks are trading upward. (Why didn't I buy some S&W and Ruger last week? Duh.) So in today's Marietta Daily Journal (GA) Henry Rifle has a 1/4 page ad on Page 3, front section. Since they're not a local company I assume these ads are running in a number of papers across the country, though they might be targeting "gun and bible" states. I do live in the same county as the mandatory gun-owning city of Kennesaw.

Having just received a Mauser in the mail with my C&R, I got to wondering how many added transfers there might be if you add those in.

Not to mention in a lot of states no NICS is done if you have a CCW. I don't think I've ever had a NICS done on any of my purchases.

Is it legal to watch them in NJ ?

Agreed! I don't care if they don't sell a single rifle, its worth the $$$ to remind people that guns are normal products, and yes we can advertise on TV. If I had the cash I'd buy one (even though I've never wanted one) just to support that effort. I hope Glock and Daniel Defence follow suit. "I've fallen, but I can still put 17 rounds in your ass. Screw Life Alert, buy a Glock/AR.". ;D
