I think were I a gun maker in the US I would be sending Clinton and O Bozo a bunch of flowers, at least.

The largeswt part of the new gun sales are in the handgun and as they call it now..tactical markets. I just bought a package deal on a truck and a new AR-10..at least 6 people have tried to pry the AR-10 out of my hands..They aren't hard to find..just very expensive when you do. Handgun prices are going through the roof..in my opinion.

Well Dan..you did good. I had a fellow offer me the same gun with a newer Leupold VX II but he was asking 1300. I talked him down to a thousand but that was still a bit much. I had offered him 900 and he said no..So that means i get to keep some of my money for a while. Gun show comin up this week at Riverton Wy..usually a pretty good one. Hope I sell some of this stuff i have.. and buy a bunch of more stuff as opposed to other stuff.

Guys,

I am glad gun sales are up. Let's hope each gun buyer votes in November to keep their new guns.
