Good article, and some interesting comments to it as well.

One wonders where prices will go once the gun grabbers are out of power and the economy stabilizes to some extent. The people stockpiling ammo and guns that aren't active shooters or hunters will not be buying at all. Even the casual shooter may not need to buy ammo for quite some time. Even people that shoot quite a bit may not really need to buy for awhile (although some of us will probably be so excited if ammo drops at all we will start buying again).

Reports all over the news medias today was about skyrocketing firearm and ammo sales. Do you think the demos in power will admit that is was firearms that saved the economy????

All the more reason to ban them?

they wont admit that gun sales will help at all, but they have went way up when obama got in and also that is a good point that people are digging into their pockets even when the economy is in bad shape to still arm them self.

I agree, however a person with a gun that doesn't know how to use it, is worse than not having a gun at all. I just hope that the "new" gun buyers are getting proper training.

IMO the time to learn how to fire a gun is not the time when the gun needs to be used in self defense.
