Buy what you want now.

Meh. They'll eventually ban all firearms anyway. Why should I waste my money by stocking up if they will get their hands on them? I'd rather spend my money on something they don't want to ban.

Grenades?

Hillary and Savannah (Today Show) were just talking up the AWB...

Gun company stocks are going up in pre-market trading. News said S&W was up 4% and Ruger 1.5% this morning.

That's just great. We live in a world where a mass shooting could take place anytime/anywhere and the response of the liberals is to take our abilities to defend ourselves away. Why don't we stop letting the problem people in?

By problem people do you mean the shooter? He was born and raised in America last I heard. No border control would have prevented that.

I don't think there's any immediate threat of an anti-gun movement on this event. Even the usual suspects have conceded this one pretty quick as a terrorist situation, which takes a lot of heat off of firearms.

The only gun talk I'm reading about is "why was he allowed to buy them!"

Well, he's an American citizen with no criminal record that passed two background checks. What else do you suggest we do? He wasn't on a no fly list because Obama admin and DOJ stated such a list is profiling and racist.

How bout pops... ardent Taliban supporter who thinks he's somehow the rightful president of Afghanistan. Maybe he should've been told to pound sand... Afghani sand.

Ordered some Pmags this morning... Mostly because they were the last foliage green ones I could find, but current events played a part

I was glad to see my ammo order confirmation come through this morning.

You said it Bog Walker


Prices were going to skyrocket when we got into the general election anyways. This just moved the time table up a bit.

But was surprised I stopped by WM at Emmerson and 465, ammo case was full, I grabbed three boxes of WWB .380 for the ol lady's G-42.

Not scared. I learned my lesson after Newtown

 

[MadCity Hoosier]

I heard a news briefing yesterday evening, in which a member of law enforcement stated that the shooter had been investigated by the FBI two different times in the past few years. However, both times he was "cleared" or something, which meant he was not forbidden to purchase weapons. Scary thought... the FBI already knew this guy might be a problem fellow. I wonder how many people fall into that category in the US... 100's? 1,000's?

I'd definitely be unhappy to lose my ability to legally purchase a firearm for simply being investigated, so it's hypocritical of me to say that this shooter should never have been allowed to make a gun purchase either. But, he was investigated TWICE by the FBI? I'd like to think that being investigated twice by the FBI would put the shooter in such elite company that he was being watched pretty closely. Perhaps not.

just left my local gun store he told me had already planned on ordering some AR's this morning and his dealer told them they was about out and to be prepared for another round like Sandy Hook

 

[bobzilla]

Its interesting that IS would target gays as homosexuality is a common practice in the Muslim world. It should come as no surprise that the Libs are spinning this into a push for an AWB. The limits to how low they will stoop to push their own agenda knows no boundries.

Not at all. It's not about theirsexuality, it's about this being another soft target. What group is the most likely to not be armed in public? Liberal gay men and women. While there are exceptions to the rule, it's still valid. A school will be next.

 

[AmmoManAaron]

FYI - SG Ammo has already added a four day shipping delay. Palmetto is now out of a bunch (but not all AR parts and uppers) - darn lucky that I happened to order the LPKs for my next two builds early last week.

Are there still panic buyers that have room for more ARs? Didn't they learn their lesson that they can't get their money back out of them if they over pay?

Sounds like the LGS might be using this as a "scare tactic" to get you to buy an AR.
After all they are in the business of selling guns and ammo. I'm sure some on here and elsewhere view this as a "shot in the arm" that a stagnate gun market could use right about now.

 

[whtsti2005]

I think as a responsible gun owner, we should already keep a certain amount of ammo on hand. I try to put some $$ in the kitty each week to buy bulk for practice and a little for storage. I will admit that I'm concerned because I see more focus on the gun issue than addressing radical idiots! This guy could have easily drove his car into the building with fertilizer and diesel fuel. The government wants our "weapons of mass destruction" so that they can control us. The 2nd amendment protects the others. I'm also worried because even our GOP congressional folks have learned to fold when it comes to important issues. I trust none of them. What ever happened to: "for the people, by the people"?? I am very disappointed in how things are going that is for sure.

I dunno. Might be. He also knew i wasnt gonna buy one so he had nothing to gain. The general public will buy into anything so another gun scare wont suprise me. I have all the ammo and guns i have been buying while market is down.

Same here. I got my shipper notice from Freedom this morning.
I am sitting pretty good compared to past ammo shortages, (assuming we will have one) but those past ammo shortages have taught me that I can never have enough ammo. The only thing I would really like more of is 5.56. I was getting ramped up to start shooting in a local Carbine league, but I may have to rethink if ammo prices get stupid again.
