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."

Twenty year old Adam Lanza shot twenty children between the ages of six and seven, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He killed them all with a semi-automatic rifle made by Bushmaster called the AR-15, before killing himself with a handgun.

I figure he was so creepy even his own dad does not want to come forward and say “I fathered him”.
Good to know...I thought it was the silver crested assault shaker...but I will bow to your superior knowledge. :-)
Some people are working hard to keep that info under wraps, some say he is connected to the father of the Aurora shooting, that he too was supposed to testify in Federal court, what are the odds of that?
Dad is reportedly dead, the freak killed him in Hoboken.
You know, I finally settled on a stag arms 8, piston driven AR.
Lots of dough, but I’ve been saving my pennies.
Now.....forget it. Prices have gone crazy.
You have no need for that. Only police and the military need those kind of salt shakers..
If the police hold a buyback near you, you need to turn it in. Because if it saves only one bowl of fries, it will be worth it.
“”Been planning on buying another gun. I hope the prices don’t get too high.””
You were making a joke, right??????
No
That's been debunked.
