The racks are empty of rifles.
I saw lots of pistols though.
Well that was 2 days ago.
Looks like S&W, Ruger, Olin(Winchester) are rebounding.
Look for the Freedom Group to be made a public offering now that Cerebus is dumping them.
I’m debating whether I’m going to drive-out early Sat morning, or blow it off, too. There’ll be some hardware there, but most’ll be gone long before the show starts. I couldn’t believe how empty the store was today. He usually has 500-700 rifles and 1,000+ handguns on display; hardly anything left, except in the 4 waiting trucks in docked lockdown.
I’m going in at 5:30pm to unload etc, but I’ll log-in on the TGO thread from the store’s dock office computer. I love the smell of new, ‘virgin hardware’ coming out of the box. I can’t pass-up $75/hr for 8-10hrs work.
Spending IS the problem.
I have little faith in the current house or the American people at this point.

If it does, I’m gonna have to buy into a nice chunk of that.
SWHC IS DIRT CHEAP.
I have to wonder of all these people purchasing firearms how many can actually shoot them (and hit their target). Oh well, happiness is still a warm gun!
Next 2-4 weeks are going to get even worse. I was up at 5:30am, scanning 10-12 websites for 5.56/.223 ammo, just to get a handle on it all, and 95% of it was “out of stock”. Some .223 avails, but only 55-60gr stuff. Not quite as bad for .308/7.62x51 ammo, but getting lower avails by the hour. FFLs tell me pipeline is empty, so mfgrs are ramping-up quickly before ban hits. Fortunately, I’ve been buying carefully and steadily since ‘02, so I’m mucho A-OK.
My faith quotient is -1.0 and dropping.
$75/hr to unload receive and price? WOW! Retail margins on firearms must be pretty damm good!
A lot of folks just want to secure something before they can no longer buy it.
It’s like people hoarding incandescent lights.
And folks remember when Clintons ban went into effect, suddenly a $10 AR15 mag is worth $100
My FFL was having pipeline problems 2 days ago.
My faith quotient is -1.0 and dropping.
Hitler had the Reichstag fire.
Obama has fires burning everywhere.
He’s desperate, he and the staff are walking zombies, and I can do it quickly (I know the shortcuts), since I used the same Radiant CounterPoint Retail POS software at the Family Farm Business, for 15+yrs. With one helper, I can do the 4 trucks in 10-12hrs. Cake.
I’m having a little trouble getting my head around that volume of sales in >10 days. But it’s really happening, and would double if enough product were available.
Who is this Ben AFLAC of whom Rush speaks?
