At Freedom Firearms in Fort Wayne, Indiana there is hardly anything left in the store. Managing partner Angie Freeland told CNBC sales have "gone through the roof". With little left to sell, she will probably close for what is typically her busiest day of the year, December 24.
"It started on Monday with the AR-15s going out the door," she said. "Once those were gone they were buying anything with a high capacity magazine."

It is not only guns that are people are buying up, it is ammunition too.
"I've sold more bulk ammo (1000 rounds) in the last three business days than I have all year," said Henry Parro co-owner of Parro's Gun Shop and Police Supplies in Waterbury, VT. "Customers are using their hand carts to load their cars."

Bought my “Assault” rifle and “Assault” magazines yesterday!
“Gun Sales Escalate After Mass Shootings”
...and apparently so do crimes of all kinds....right?
Been planning on buying another gun. I hope the prices don’t get too high.
About 130,000 guns sold in a few days.
I doubt Joe “plugs” will be leading the charge to get those 130,000 guns.
About 130,000 guns sold in a few days.
Assault Shaker
And that 130 grand number may only be for last weekend gun buys ,Fri - Sun, if I quote correctly my local tv news. Plugs and Obama will be in the far rear of that charge.
LOL!!!
lol
Priceless
I take it that is the rare and nearly extinct African salt shaker, not the European salty.
A guy could trade for a lot of .22’s, black powder and oddball stuff right now if he desired to be contrarian.
Can 0bama really do this by executive decree?
Said his buddy might have one out of Texas .. but unsure.
Not constitutionally, but when has that ever stopped him? The House leadership and Supreme Court have bowed down to him on numerous occasions.
Constitutionality has nothing to do with it.
0bama will throw sh_t on the wall till it sticks. Then we wait for the Supremes to sort it out. 3 years later waiting for them to take the case the media has destroyed all reality.
I don’t blame people. That school shooter had the creepiest eyes I’ve ever seen. People are afraid there are more like him out there.
Let’s give up all our rights because one guy on the planet was creepy.
