With politicians using the talking points of banning "assault weapons" after the July 4 mass shooting (but see update, below) and gun manufacturers getting sued for shootings (Glock in New York and pending case against Daniel Defense for the Uvalde shooting), I wonder whether the M&P 15 Sport ii prices will increase due to high demand?
My big box store has sold them for $659 since 2021, always in stock at all locations. I don't know when they increased prices, but today it's $820 for the same model (with or without scope). The store nearest to me has a six day shipping to store delay, but other stores have it in stock.
Kyle Rittenhouse's use of this model was not clearly discussed in MSM. The only way I figured it out was to enlarge a photo of DA Binger's pointing it in the courtroom, while failing to cover up the S&W logo. See here:

That's old news and IIRC at least as of two months ago, it was $659.
Two days ago, on the July 4 shooting in Highland Park, IL, cops have been vague about the so-called "high powered rifle," (why, I don't understand) Crimo used, but I just found this source:
"...One of his (Crimo's) legally purchased firearms, according to authorities, was the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle prosecutors allege he used to fire on parade spectators from a rooftop perch Monday...." Citation:
