Record gun sales

[Ichiban]

I went into the local Sportsman's Warehouse over the weekend.  The gun department looked like a post-Katrina Walmart.  Lots of bolt-action rifles and shotguns to be had, but no handguns or "assault rifles" to be seen.  The ammo shelves were bare of all but shot shells.

Jesus H. Christ !   

Yeah.
Well it was never exactly a "discount" store to begin with .
When every one else was getting $4.50 for Wolf 7.62X 39 he was getting $7.50.

Found this on the local Armslist.com.   
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have at least one serious inquiry.

Rock River AR-15, asking $10,000 If you are stupid enough to be paying $2000-$4000 for an AR-15 then you might just be stupid enough to buy mine for $10,000. For $1000 more Ill throw in 1 Magpul 30 round magazine, the government is taking all these away too, so there's none left, anywhere. You'll have to have a Law Enforcement Permit to have these after today.

If you ass-clowns think Big Brother is going to send assault teams door to door and take away everything but Derringers, well then your probably right, it's going to be just like the "Assault Weapons Round-up" that happened after Columbine in 1999, and after Red Lake Senior High School in 2005, and after Virginia Tech in 2007, and after NIU in 2008, or Ft. Hood in 2009, and Aurora in July.

For Trades I will only accept ICBM's, Abrams Tanks, a decommissioned space shuttle, or hectares of land to build my Doomsday bunker. AH SHIT, 12-21-12 already passed, well then I'm "prepping" one for December 31, 2099, that's when its going to end, for sure, Confucius told me so when we were watching the reelection of Obama together.

Email works best, NSA has tapped my phone, and satellites are watching my every move. I can access my Email from Kinkos, so they'll never know.

Remember you cant get AR15s after today, or maybe tomorrow, or was it last week, either way, they're rare, and aren't made anymore.

[tombogan03884]

Well, he's right about one thing.
They are not made any more, and never will be again.
At least not until the Christmas shut downs are over. 
Hey, the calendar ends on Dec 31st, must mean the world does too.

I was in the LGS today and the EBR rack was bare.  Large gaps in the handgun display cases.  Piles and piles of boxed guns behind the counters.  I asked if that was the NICS backlog and was told that they are telling customers that they could be waiting  4 -5 DAYS for the background check to clear.  Un-fricking-real.

Just an update as to the Gun Rush before the fall? In Colorado there are over 10,000 folks waiting to get cleared by CBI in order to p/u their new guns. They said it's an 8 - 10 day wait Normally it's anywhere from 30 mins., an hour tops on a busy day. Any others from the other 49 states experiencing this craze?

Checks were quick today for our shop but if you get assigned "further review" afternoon waits were 45 minutes. In a couple of cases I was given a direct number to call.  The primary NICS center couldn't transfer to the second level review. So they would either give you the direct number or just delay the transaction.

OK, here is the explanation on a four or five day wait for NICS. NICS can delay for only 3 (business) days, period. So lets say you come into my shop tomorrow (Friday) and I do your paperwork and I receive a delay on your transaction.  Friday is day zero, Saturday and Sunday are not business days. Monday is day one. Tuesday is a holiday so it doesn't count. Wednesday is day two and Thursday is day three. So, if NICS doesn't call back I can legally sell you the gun on Friday, Jan. 4.  That is how the system works.

Isn't it time we stopped the NICS Slowdown Loophole?

Unless you buy from the CMP. If you get "DELAYED" with them, it's as good as "DENIED".
