Uhhhhh the manufactures didn't change their prices to the resellers. The prices were increased by the retailers selling to the public.edit on 20-3-2013 by macman because: (no reason given)
No they just sold more of them! Then retailers made a hefty profit...
Yep that the economic side of the thing....some folks made some money. However dont see this thing as something driven by money.
Gun sales last year topped 2 Billion Yep not about the money
Read down in the article and see when the last boom (pun intact) was...1994 what??? Why??? Think about it
You would have to be stupid not to invest in S&W before a liberal Dem is elected then sell your guns during their term. Hang on to a few for a second term and then cash in your stock at the end. Then if a Rep is elected wait 2 years and buy all your guns back CHEAP!

One thing that will hopefully be a big positive to come out of this is that the fair weather panic buyers will now flood the market with the guns and ammo that they all panic bought. Would be nice to see shelves stocked again, and prices returned to normal.

Yes this is extremely disappointing. Delinquents' egos are deemed more important that human life.

it is not the weapon! It is the person that holds the tool, that decides if it is for good or bad , just because a few go over the edge, makes the rest of us look bad. Any one at ant time could lose it, should the rest pay for it? No.
Drunk drivers drive cars, does that mean all car drivers are drunk? or should we ban cars? the drivers? or make laws to prevent drunk drivers?, and they really do not prevent them... only if they are pulled over.

hmmmm...i thought assault weapons, fully automatic weapons designed for war, were already illegal? i remember 1 guy getting a felony conviction and 5 years in prison for simply having a gear that, when added to several other parts, could turn a semiautomatic rifle into a fully automatic rifle.
additionally, i get the feeling this gun control stuff is not about disarming but actually arming the civilian populace. i just have this feeling, therefore no proof or evidence, that the government knows something bad is going to happen and that most people will be left to fend for them selves. that is not to say i think the government is being benevolent . just not as devious in the ways people accuse them of being. so what could the problem be? invasion? act-of-god? tom cruse coming out of the closet? who knows.edit on 20-3-2013 by david99118 because: (no reason given)
