I was looking on Buds website Sunday night and saw that they had over 10 of the Ruger AR 556 and that many of the S&W Sport. Now they are out of both. Also my online ammo supplier is running behind in their shipping. Wonder how long this is going to last. I don't need anything but feel very sad that people are dying because of a nut with a gun. I am getting up there in age and I know that people do not like to hear it but I miss the good days when people did not just start shooting people.
ARs going fast

It's the people, as you know, not the guns. It is 320 million people, it is social media, it is tv and video games. There were plenty of guns around back when kids took their shotguns to school in September so they could go straight to the dove fields later in the day. There were plenty of guns around back when kids took their rifles to school to compete in various matches. There were plenty of guns around back when anyone could walk into a hardware store and buy a gun, no NICS, no 4473s. Nobody was committing mass murder in those days.
Hello choir - all together now -
IT IS NOT THE GUNS!!!

OP
of course it is not the guns not very many dumber than a rock liberals around here. I was 17 or 18 one day and walked into a hardware store and bought my first handgun a Ruger Super blackhawk. made the money stocking shelfs after school and no one cared. I think it set me back me $179

Why on earth would someone not like the days before mass shootings? I was a teen when the first shooting occurred by a sniper on a tower in TX. One of the victims lived in the next block from us in Dallas, she was pregnant. She was shot and lost her baby, but she survived. We have Charles Whitman to thank for starting it.

Been going on for a while. I blame the media for much of the coverage that they give school shooters...which encourages the next one.

I was picking up a chuck key at the local equipment store, they are down the street from Bear Creek Arsenal. From what he told me they are having a hard time keeping up with orders.
At one time they were selling AR's for 400 bucks. I have never wanted an AR, but I bet some of the local young adults are keeping the gun shops busy doing transfers.

I heard David Hogg is up for the AR salesman of the year award...
The few around here sure have! The wall in photo has always been full of AR's - this was yesterday.

I haven't looked but it doesn't seem like anyone is worried.
I did purchase 1,000 rounds of some ammo I refer but it's because of the type (5.7mm, SS198). I feel pretty confident that we have enough of the other calibers.
If our politicians start acting even more stupid, at least I'll have enough to last a while.
CNN published a yellow journalistic piece about some guy in California.
He had an "arsenal" in his bedroom. They made a huge stink about basically nothing.

I believe young adults (18-20) will be getting their hands on ARs while they still can.

My LGS hasn't had a run either. I was in there yesterday. They still have both of them.

Let the buying begin. I wonder if the media has stock in the ar15 manufacturers.? Everytime they mention a ar15 ban the sales automatically soar.

I went to a big gun show a couple of weeks ago here in KC and one table had a sign saying "AR KITS $299". I stopped and asked to see one, and the guy said they were sold out. This was late on Sunday, the second day of the show, so they had two days to sell it out. I should have asked him how many they started with.
I blame tv. The internet. Social media. Video games. Times have changed so much in the last 20 years alone. I use to keep a gun in the back window of my truck when I went to school. Nobody cared. Nobody got hurt. My truck didn't lock. And I'm only 38. But it's a small town. Probably different in the bigger cities. But you sure can't do it today. Not even here. I'm rambling. Sorry. Ar's are still plentiful here We also took shotguns for 4H trap shoots to school.

When I was 15, with my summer earning I ordered from the Sears catalog a Ted Williams .22 bolt action rifle with a tube magazine. With my name on the package, the mailman handed it to me. Laws have changed since 1963.

Obviously, something has gone wrong. These FBI charts can't be right? AR's are killing thousands. I heard it on the news. But these charts show that rifles, all rifles, are used far less in all murders than knives, hands & feet, blunt objects, even shotguns. These FBI charts can't be right. Must be some evil NRA conspiracy.
I've shown these charts to my liberal friends and they refuse to even address the FBI statistics. They don't want to acknowledge that knives, hands & feet, and blunt objects are used far more than rifles. They just want focus on the mass murders of late and the AR-15. Don't confuse them with the facts.
My heart breaks when I see these multiple loss of lives, especially young lives. My heart breaks for all the lives lost in multiple single murders also. But, it' not on the large number of single murders were the media hype is at or the emotional outrage.
