Record gun sales

[Timothy]

I haven't visited a gun store in some months.  I suspect, though we aren't allowed to purchase until we're licensed, it's probably much the same as the rest of the country.  I called my FFL looking for a 9mm M&P Shield last week and he said it's on severe backorder and he has no idea when he'll get any!

Not in the market for an AR but I may pick up a lever action and a .22 plinker just because.  Even my wife mentioned I'd better not wait too long...

Due to extremely high order volume, we are experiencing long delays in processing/shipping orders.  Please expect and allow 8 - 14 business days for your order to leave our building.  We have doubled our shipping staff and are working nights in an effort to process orders as quickly as possible.

We have turned off our phones from accepting in-bound calls so we may focus on processing/shipping orders.  This was a tough decision, but one we truly believe will best serve our customers.  If necessary to contact us, please do do via email though the Contact Us page on our site.  Please only send us an email if absolutely necessary as we are receiving hundreds per day and these take our time away from processing orders.  However, we will respond to every email we receive.

We are still accepting orders though our website for those who are accepting of the delays in receiving your orders. 

NOTE:  Your card will be charged at the time you place your order.  We realize this is not ideal when there are long delays in processing, but that is the way our software works at this time.  If this is not acceptable, please do not place an order with us during this time of record volume.

We value you as a customer and appreciate your understanding.

This is enough to make the most fearless liberal think twice about voting "YEA" for anything that Feinstein puts out there. Getting this thing passed is going to be like trying to sell a glass of water to a drowning man.

And if only we could get the voting frenzy up and running as fast as gun buying frenzy.

If every panicky jackass that willingly pays $100 for a Ruger Mini-14 magazine, or $1000 for a used Mini-14, or $2000 for an AR that was $750 two weeks ago, would register to vote.......contact Senators and Rep's....... and than actually vote the assclowns out of office, showing they mean business.........we could roll back every bit of asinine gun legislation since 1934.

I think just the fear these politicians have of these millions of gun buyers voting out any Senator or Congressman who votes for a ban, is going to have a huge effect, regardless if they actually vote or not. This is unprecedented in the history of gun ownership. The first go around after Hussein's coronation in 2008 was taken as somewhat of a fluke, and as premature and unnecessary panic by many politicians. Many liberals were seen in news soundbites laughing about it. They're not laughing now.

These guys know if thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people are willing to pay $2,000.00+ for an AR-15, in the worst economy since the Great Depression, they sure as hell aren't going to vote for someone who is hell bent on taking it away from them. Or else be so warm and willing to hand it over to the first person who knocks on their door. Think Feinstein's "New And Improved" AWB, then visualize that little tornado that forms at the bathtub drain.

I went to the other 2 local gun stores today.
The Range was well stocked with everything, prices were high though, Remington R-1 Blued, $1000, Plain Stag flat top $1800 . Being a range they always have ammo , didn't check brands, or prices .
The other place is the smallest of the area, Remington R-1 Stainless, $850, he had 2 AR Carbines and 1 plain AK $1200 each, has 30 P -Mags on order, due in Thursday Tula, 45ACP 500 round case for $200, plenty of everything else except .223 .

Around here anything 556/223 is gone, AR, mini 14,ammo. Ak's are double the value. I had to look around to find a the 308 I wanted. Plenty of bolt actions, pistols are hit and miss depending on make and model. My goto guy for ammo has been stocking up for a while so he has plenty of rifle ammo. About the only pistol ammo I buy is 9mm, everything else I reload.

Might want to stock up on components .
Especially primers, they seemed to be the thing that ran short with the last surge.
