Post election jitters?

[StorminJason]

Was just told that people who are upset or fearful about the election are panic buying ARs at local gun stores?
1. Do you think that's true? (please share observations)
2. Isn't such behavior a little overblown?
3. If you could only buy 1 gun post election, what would it be?

 

[badmac]

1. Im not sure
2. no
3. some kind of ak74

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

AR panic buying has been going on for a few years now.

^^^True.

And to answer the OP, I don't think it'll last this administration has enough going on with same sex marriage and a destabilizing Western-Asia issues to start trimming the Constitution.

Ammo is going to go up like it did last time. But it'll come back down when the doomsdayers stock up and the demand isn't as high. Like last time.

 

[tradertator]

This happened last election. Gun owners freak out, hoard, and prices climb with demand. We are our own worse enemies when it comes to availability and price spikes.

1) Yes. We sold 10 stripped lowers in a day and a half, and have numerous bare spots on our AR rack where previously there were rifles.

2) Probably; I think there is very little chance right now of anything happening legislatively with regard to a gun ban. BUT we see such behavior just about every time some dumbass politician opens his mouth about it; I think some folks are just looking for an excuse to justify buying more guns (not a bad thing).

3) Are you looking for suggestions?

Yes and yes. But for how long, WHO KNOWS?

1.)Well, from my little experience, I believe it is. My boss emailed me today asking about AR-15s, and said he needs to find one soon. He didn't directly say say it was due to the election, but he also hasn't show interest in them before.
2.) ...yes
3.) Ar-15, since it just so happens to be the next gun on my list.

 

[Bunnykid68]

I haven't bought any new guns or ammo and actually just sold 2 Mosins about 30 minutes ago. Must be the beer and cigarettes keeping me from being jittery

 

[srad]

1. Yes. My Aussie brother in law who lives in rural upstate NY emailed today that he just bought a S&W ar15 & a Mossy 500 20ga. Asked me where he might be able to find reasonably priced 223/556. Told him to find a time machine and go back to mid-2008... he'd find it there.

2. Yes. Personally think the buying frenzy is not necessary given the status of the House. In reality though, I guess you just never know... the Congress could capitulate since they feel like they've just been beech-slapped by the voting public.

3. .308 battle rifle

 

[kawtech87]

Yes and yes. But for how long, WHO KNOWS?

You know the last thing I need is an excuse to buy more guns......

Thanks for giving me a reason!

 

[uncle griz]

yes
yes
some kind of BB gun, and big box of copper head BB's

 

[LEaSH]

Let me just say I'll avoid going to the next 1500 show... And maybe the one after that. I don't have stampede insurance.

 

[Winamac]

After the Dem's took the Presidency the first time.I remember there was a gun show in Kokomo about a month later, and people were lined up down the isle almost out the door at one vendor who was selling new AR's. This long line was constant for the entire show both days. It was insane.

 

[Adamz04]

Yes I bought one 6 months ago, Obama is already in talks about a UN gun deal. I heard it on Fox News so take it for what it's worth.
No it is not overblown at all.

 

[harb7676]

1. Yes
2. A little
3. Glock 17. Really been wanting one. I think high capacity pistols may go first so might as well.

do you guys carry AR barrels? Tried calling but got the busy signal.

 

[DCM8513]

1. Yes

2. Not sure this time, after last election i was one of the ones to rush out to buy an AR in fear id never be able to. Man was i wrong and i spent WAY too much on it. I still love er though. Im gonna wait this one out but ive heard rumors that now that obama doesnt have to worry anymore about getting re-elected he may take the gloves off if you will and put his radical ideas into play.

3. AR10 or M1A
