Similar spikes in gun company stocks were seen after a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California and a shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. The Sunday shooting prompted President Barack Obama to give a speech in which he reiterated his call for stricter regulations on firearms.
Didn't think about it. Should've bought the stock first thing Monday. Could've used the money to purchase ammunition before Hilary taxes it at 250% after January.
One gun shop claimed they were selling 15 AR's an hour. I swear guns and ammo sales are what is keeping this country afloat. Gun Shop Owner: AR-15's Flying Off Shelves at $500 a Pop | Fox Business
I have a box of 500 22lr thunderbolts for 175.00 free shipping I bought a bucket of ammo for 65.00 on sale three weeks ago same place is now selling at 125.00 when I looked yesterday morning looks like now they are outta stock. Bought some 7.62x39 two weeks ago at another place it went up 30.00 . I drove to a few shops yesterday prices are up, guy on AL selling a sks why yes its in good condition 475.00 I bought a whole pile last panic was over of ak-47 mags still in shipping box paid after the panic 11.99 same place today is selling them 21.00 This could mean another two years waiting for a drop again. And 22lr was just hitting normal access for people. I hate low 22lr the most, because kids use this as an entry level. Last year Christmas I gave away 22lr to families who needed it for kids presents. I may end up doing that again this year if it stays low. Gees what a mess.
Air guns are soo much cheaper to shoot ,it's worth the investment . Haven't had to touch my ammo reserves in years , I only add to them.
