    Just like clockwork! The press and Dems sensationalize and make hay about banning something "AR15" and they help sell literally MILLIONS of the very weapon they look to ban..

    People know our politicians haven't the balls to confiscate so the buy one and it's yours customers go in to panic mode :)

    As usual the DNC never learns from past blunders, almost makes you think the DNC have stock in AR15 rifle manufacturers ;)

    The DNC, making new gun owners on threat at a time!

    Makes one wonder if gun manufacturers look forward to mass shootings in America. I wonder if they’re factored into their budget.

    Makes you wonder how the logic works. "Hmmm, another mass shoting......I better go get me one of them there guns before the bad guys git 'em all".

    We've seen that logic for decades now - when a celebrity dies everyone buys up collectables involving said celebrity because they know the prices will go up with demand. It's really the same kinda effect going on here in a way.

    I s'pose.
    I mean, the left -always- screams for a ban on 'assault weapons', even when a mass shootings is committed with a handgun - they very clearly want such a ban and are willing to lie, cheat, and steal their way into one.
    Should we not take them seriously?

    I’m sure they think much in the same way liberals do. “This time something is going to change.”

    It never does.

    @Bowerbird once said "Any advertising guru will tell you that even bad advertising can pay and pay BIG"

    I'd call this big.

    She also once said "What I truly truly love is how much free advertising this restaurant is getting courtesy of the right" Change that from the right to gun-control advocates and you can see how it's backfiring here; they themselves are creating the demand for what they dislike.

    Democrat politicians sell more guns than any pro-gun organization or firearm advertisement campaign.

    I think gun sales were soaring anyway, BLM are the greatest example in history that you cannot rely wholly on the police to protect you

    So the price goes up because there's a demand for more mass shootings?

    Most mass shootings are done with handguns in cities where handguns aren’t allowed. What does a handgun cost in those cities?

    Because you insist on perpetuating the problem, the gun free school zone act.

    I'm sure they do! I'm looking at a third as one more for resale/profit.. Anyone who lived thru the last ban knows how appreciation of banned weapons skyrocketed under Clinton and the next 10 years... Three grand easy in todays arena maybe even more depending on restriction!

    Ok now I just talked myself in to it ;)

    Congratulations, you're part of the problem. You believe you NEED to modify your rifle? For what reason?

    Many of us didn't, and we didn't pass up on 80% lowers either!
