Just out of curiosity what did you folks expect to happen when the President made his remarks after the Connecticut shooting and the non stop media coverage? Did you expect people to just ignore it?
Now people are upset with dealers with higher prices and yes in some instances you may be justified but before you start complaining check and see what it cost them to provide that product to you in an environment where even 22lr has disappeared from the shelves. If you didn't understand the significance of Brownell's statement that over the course of a few days they sold as many magazines as they had in the past 3 1/2 years then you never will.
No brass, no bullets, no ammo, no magazines, no primers, no guns just bare shelves at the wholesale and local gun shop level and people expect prices to remain stable.
