There is a pawn shop here in Harriman that tells me they can't keep them on the shelves. They are being sold almost as fast as they get them in.

AR's and AK-47's in particular!

AMMO is just a bad

[Guest page90lx]

Yes it the obama factor , and I include myself in this becuse I have purchased some "bad" guns I have wanted for years because it is probably over when he takes office , his record is not good on firearms issue

I know it may be tinfoil hat stuff but it just does not look good for or rights

Shooting Industry magazine reported last month that firearm sales were up 9.1% for the first 5 months of 2008 over 2007.

Couple that with the recent report that hunting gun sales are down nearly 60% and you can draw your own conclusions.
