Gun Sales Break New Record in December

Not sure where the "Newsworthy Reports" section went, so I'll put this here. Here's the link if that's still ok to do. I'd copy the text, but not sure if that's kosher either.

That's good to hear.

I really hate to bring politics into this, but someone else will so I might as well. I predict with an election year coming up we will see a repeat of 08-09 when panic buying was in full swing. It will also be on a far larger scale judging from who is running.

I contributed to the sales...lol. I would expect ammo prices will go back up as we get towards the Summer. I would buy now and hoard..lol. One of the shops in TN said yesterday was thier 3rd busiest day ever.

I also contributed to the December sales. One more to come, but I suspect by the time it comes in, it will be a January sale.

I don't expect any mad rush to buy firearms or ammunition this year unless the President decides he is going to push new gun control legislation if he is re-elected.

Yup but it still makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
