Being Prepared.

I have a brief comment about being prepared. What is all the excitement people have about wanting to run out and purchase guns and ammo at this time ? Unless you just turned 18 and have been waiting to purchase your first rifle I have little sympathy. You could have bought all you wanted a few weeks ago. There has been talk of gun bans for the last 4 years...where have all these people been.

  It is interesting to note that before the first Clinton gun ban sales of AR's and AK's was almost nothing. I would also like to point out anyone armed with only a 12 gauge pump shotgun would not be vulnerable and would be a force to reckon with. If you fall into the category of those who aren't ready I happen to think things will ease up a little again at least on some items and you will have a chance to buy. There will have to be a lot of debate in the House and Senate and I can assure all the manufacturers of firearms and ammo are working in overtime to 'make hay while the sun shines'

Gun Sales, Gun Bans.

I was reading the paper this morning and saw where congress was thinking of banning high capacity 'clips'.......if that will make them happy and solve the problems I can live with that as long as they leave magazines alone, see I could compromise.

 On another note, I went by a local gun store today to check out some supplies, the parking lot was packed and I had to wait for a parking spot. Once inside people were stacked 10 deep at the counter and the line was around the store for the cash register.
Here is prices I overheard quoted to customers.
Stripped AR15 lower, $500 (CMMG $110 last week)
S&W stripped lower, $600
Plastic  30 round AR mags, $35
Basic Bushmaster AR15 $ 3000
I understand many stores are sold out but this one had a good supply however they were way down from normal supply levels, I guess they decided to gouge as much as possible.
BTW, this is probably the largest gun shop in NE Florida and I have bought a lot here in the past, don't think I will forget their price gouging any time soon.
No..... I did not buy anything.
