I see that j***3 in a bunch of auctions, is he possibly buying then reselling for profit?


I would say if you're seeing a lot of him, he's trying, but so far he's only gotten 2 deals anyone has commented on.

I would attribute it to the "Eye of the storm." People freaked out, spent tons of money, now they are rebooting. Once these gun ban talks start picking up speed, and once everyone receives their tax returns, it will be back to the same sort of market.

Haha I was just thinking to myself that I hope places get stuff back in stock soon, because my taxes will be back soon and there's a ton of stuff I gotta buy.

If the panic is over, WMD Guns sure doesn't know. I was on their website yesterday when they opened up orders for BCG's. About ten minutes before they started taking orders, the website crashed from all the people flooding the site. About 30-40 minutes later it finally started working for me, but guess what? Sold Out.

The panic is absolutely not over, if anything it's still in full swing

The only reason why it might seem like it is calming, is because lots of people have got all the guns/mags they want, so they feel "set."

The fact that not a single store can keep even just .22LR in stock, should show it's far from over.



Most of all, it's not over until these gun grabbing scum bags and legislation is voted down and no longer an immediate threat. We must not forget that.

Remain vigilant. Our liberty is at stake.

This is a big deal. Don't let anyone tell you that it's not.

Don't listen to the people who say that the increased gun control has "no chance." I hope those who say that are right, but having that attitude will lower your guard, when it should be at its highest.

I'm one of those people that feels they're "set". I have the guns I feel I "need" but maybe not all I want. :mrgreen:

Last Friday I watched about 80 boxes of 9mm luger ammo (100 round boxes) disappear from a FF shelf in about 45 minutes. I'm sure the other 20 boxes were gone soon after. I got 5 of them. :D

Walmart in Eagan had some 5.56, 223 and 22 today. 3 box limit in effect.
WWB 5.56 55gr 20 rd box: $12.27
Winchester VarmintX 223 55gr 20 rd box: 19.37

Yeah, kind of sucky prices but at least they had some. Didn't price out any of the 22 but they had quite a few boxes. Saw some 9mm, .40 and .45 too.

I'm in the same boat. My brother is begging me to sell simply because I could double the money on it. ;)

But I like my custom DD...

They're not high-capacity, they're normal capacity.
