Well there is some of the problem. Talked to one of my wholesale suppliers back east..He had his largest one day sale of his career(since the 60's) 2 Friday's ago.. No Primers no ammo no powders to speak of and his gun supplies are next to zero..He's got about 4 million dollars in orders over 3 months back unfilled and no promises for when they will be. I did a few days at the Shot Show..but I was mostly working for a major manufacturer so didn't get to see much.. New stuff coming...I think they will require background checks on ANY sales of firearms..even between family members and definitely at gun shows..With hours on the phone for Nics checks now..can you imagine gun show weekends with approx 500 shows going on any weekend plus 25000 dealers running their shops..and all the every day gun owners trying to sell their personal firearms ...They ain't 'nuff Nics checkers to get even half the job done.. and I truly think they will start to keep all the background checks on file forever..(illegal right now). I've been talking to a few people and many are saying they don't care what happens with Assault rifles..just leave their blah blah blah guns alone..the old divide and conquer. In the coming years..we are screwed as far as personal rights..including gun rights..Homeland security is going to rule and make rules for our own good ya know. personally never had much use for Homeland Security. I mean we already had the FBI..and all the police depts. Homeland security was formed to usurp as much power as possible from the people of this country in the name of our safety..What BS. Boy I'm rambling now.. Anyway..as far as getting the shelves restocked at the gun shops..It's gonna take a while. You are gonna see many prices soar also. Right now primers are selling when available for upwards of 40 dollars per 1000..locally that is. And I had an idiot offer me 2500 bucks for an AR-10 and 1500 for an AR-15..sheesh..People are running scared. If I had some I would be rich.. getting ready to start reloading 223 right now..Luckily I have much brass and bullets..and nuff primers for more than my own use.. Liability insurance JUST IN CASE your guns are STOLEN?? Again..it isn't the criminal's fault..it's yours for choosing to own a firearm!! Will we ever get the blame taken off the innocent person's back...and put it where it belongs??? D**m Touchy feely do gooders!
