Skeet,
I was in Vegas for Christmas and New years, went to the largest gun show Vegas has on the 29th and 30th of December. This show is about 300 tables, maybe. The lines, one to buy a ticket and one to get in, was about 10,000.
There were people scalping 30 round AR mags to the line. And there was virtually no one in line with anything in hand. They all came to buy. I put on shows for 10 years and followed the circuit for about 25 and it was the damnedest thing I have ever seen.
There was an ammo dealer there with a truck load of ammo, in crates on pallets, loaded into the building on a fork lift. That ammo was all gone in 2 hours. The cheapest AR I saw in the place was $2,300 and they were selling the cast aluminum billets for lowers, uncut and un-drilled, for $130, not just priced, but selling them. I saw AR uppers, just last year that were $289 with prices at $1,300 and a bunch with the prices tore off the tags. Just nuts O.
One thing I did see a lot of, was Benjamins changing hands.
Left the show and went by New Frontier Armory, the polymer lower folks. It was scary there also, it looked like a gun vacuum cleaner had been run through the place. Almost anything that went bang was gone.
O'Bozo should get the marketing man of the year award. The firearms industry aught to give him a big wet kiss.
