I don't blame them for trying this tactic. It's been quite effective the last two election cycles.

Ads like this is why I asked my initial question - real panic or faux panic. To the gun industry, panics are good times.

[monkeylizard]

It's anticipatory panic. If Hildebeast wins, there will be attacks on our sport and everyone knows it. Nobody knows exactly what form it will take, but we all know it would be arriving under her watch.

It's faux panic in the sense that nothing is currently becoming law to create restrictions.

But it's real panic because the likelihood of that happening is increasing.

Prices will see a bump depending on what happens tomorrow night, and then there will be a complete disregard for everything that has happened a week before the election and panic buying will ensue.

unfortunately you are correct , no offense to you , just to the politics

You can get a much nicer rifle for that price. I could be in the minority but I don't understand why anyone would want the fixed front site and those hand guards.

I figure that if the right to keep and bear arms was important enough for our founders to included in our constitution, I probably ought to own a few, don't ya think?

I try to have a few.  A few rifles.  A few shotguns.  A few pistols.  A few revolvers.

Magnum! What's the point on the standard round? It does work best out of a 7.5 barrel.

I was at a gun store this morning, and one of their employees was giving the "you better stock up now before the election" sales pitch. I also received an email from another gun store that said  "all distributors are out of 5.56".  So it begins. I got some pmags for sale for 30$ each.

I got a bazillion PMAGS. Besides, STUPID LAWS GET IGNORED (My new motto). I will find mags, even if they ban them.

Was the PMAG and sales pitch the same store?  Hyperbole as a sales pitch just irks me, and $30 per PMAG is just egregious.  I can see a LGS or even some online retailers going as high as $15-$18 for profit margins, but when Primary Army still has the basic M2 MOE PMAG in stock for $9.99, that LGS or online retailer isn't supporting the community.

I think you missed the tongue in cheek. They were $30 after Sandy Hook, when our rights were really in danger. Hillary is a huge threat. I don't think she will be all it takes. But, pile on a real juicy mass killing, and we could see it again.

But, it's not time yet

Mikegideon gets me. It was sarcasm trying to acknowledge the LGS attempting to hype up sales. I think it is a definite possibility of a run on guns/ammo/mags but only time will tell.

I would have called bull####. There is cheap ammo everywhere right now.
