Gun sales - through the roof

| No Comments
From Boise, ID station KBOI:
Boise gun show sales up
A gun show was held at Expo Idaho Saturday and the organizer says sales are through the roof!

"These guns and ammo are going out the door in arm loads. Some people can hardly walk they've got so much stuff," said organizer Paul Snider.

Snider attributes the gun show's success to the state of politics.

"I don't think they are panicking yet but they are very concerned about what might come down the line," said Snider.
From Rapid City, SD station KOTA:
Gun sales skyrocket
Gun sales have skyrocketed in KOTA Territory and across the country.

Michael Mooney, owner of Southern Hills Tactical in Custer, says the demand for firearms is unprecedented.

He says he sold 85 assault weapons ranging from $650 dollars to $3,000 dollars in just three days.
More:
"Never seen sales like this at all. In the month of December there was nearly 2.8 million sales transfers done though NICS, which is roughly a million more than the previous December," says Mooney.

Mooney says most of his buyers are in their mid 40's or older.
Browsing through the online gun and ammo websites, prices are up about 3X from what they were two months ago. Wonder how long it will take for the prices to go down. Will there be an uptick in sales of revolvers -- no 'clips' there? What will happen when the next mental midget goes out with a stolen gun and slaughters a bunch of people in some "gun free zone" somewhere...
