Gun Store Trip Yesterday

I went to the biggest pawn shop around yesterday and they have 8 or 9 pistol counters and you could put all the guns in 1 and 1/2 counters.

They had no ammo or guns. I asked him if they were going out of business and he said no that they were having a hard time getting guns now. He told me the gun makers were not making many now that they were trying to see what was going to be legal or not.

I think it was BS. I went to 6 places that sells guns and did not see any black rifles or ammo.

I am still trying to get some 22 ammo for my grand son. I have about 200 rounds then i am dry.

    For a manufacturer to stop or limit making a legal product that will sell as soon as it is built based upon what might happen at some unspecified future time makes no sense whatsoever economically.

    I personally think the manufacturers have added extra shifts because it's easy money right now.

    We still have AR's and other goodies still on the shelves, below well below market price. Seams there is a little cooling off going on around here, they may get listed soon if they don't move.

    The Dutch tulip craze of the 15th century was fueled by demand and speculation, with prices that could cost years of a persons labor to buy a few bulbs. Those who got into it early and decided to make some money started selling, and the walls came tumbling down.

    you listened to an interpretation of the state of the firearm economy from a guy who works at a pawn shop[?][:0][}:)] Go talk to a dealer that own his own gun store,...I bet you get a whole different picture of what is happening. Any manufacturer who has more than one synapse firing, is running at maximum production capacity. There are billions of dollars to be made right now......

    The revenue-generating opportunity of a lifetime, and the manufacturers lay everybody off. Yeah, right.
