Reports Of Gun Sales Surging Confirmed

[Reptile]

It looks like Fox News is confirming that gun sales have increased dramatically. Reporter Nick Giampia interviewed gun store owner Jay Wallace about the recent surge where Wallace made the claim that they are selling more than 15 rifles per hour. Wallace was also quoted as saying sales have “really kicked up”.

Fox also reports in a separate article that sales among the LGBT community is also on the rise. Given the recent blow to the LGBT community I am really glad to see more people becoming interested in firearms. Fox also spoke with a national gun club with strong roots in the LGBT community, The Pink Pistols, who saw its membership more than double in one day.

TFB also checked with some of our sources in the industry and found that many distributors are running as much as a week behind in fulfilling dealer orders. We spoke with several large firearm retailer websites that have indicated that their order volume is between 3 and 7 times over the normal volume, with more than one expressing that they saw sales patterns very similar to this in 2008, 2012, and in 2015. One dealer even reported selling 7,000 AR-15s per day since Sunday, a massive increase over normal sales patterns.

The last several panics that have hit our industry hurt a lot of shooters both new and old financially and made getting out to the range a rather expensive prospect. Shooting in competition or even getting the ammo needed for testing firearms for TFB became almost impossible.

Could this be the start of a panic? I sure hope not but several of our industry sources think it may be.

Phil Note: Of course nobody can be sure we’re on the brink of another panic buying frenzy. One thing to keep in mind is every time we have a tragedy of the type seen in Orlando gun sales go up for s short time. Like Patrick I hope it doesn’t come to that again. At this point it doesn’t seem warranted.Only time will tell.

Hold on for the ride. 0Bama's hatred of the Second Amendment and threats from other democrats after Orlando have put gun sales in high gear.

One dealer: 7,000 AR15 sales in one day.

How do we have panic buying in the midst of a panic presidency? Isn't like some sort of double negative?

I wouldn't put too much stock in reports of Pink Pistols membership. They don't give out membership cards or collect dues, and people are free to self-identify as members.

But seems like in the wake of Orlando, many LGBTQ people are shifting in favor of self-help, self-reliance, and gun rights. Good.

Hello everyone! Thanks for being a part of Blazing Sword, a project launched in order to provide firearm familiarization and basic training to anyone in the LGBTQ community who wishes to learn more about gun ownership in the wake of the Orlando tragedy.
CONTACT DETAILS BELOW. PLEASE CLICK 'MORE'.
If you are LGBTQ and want to learn about guns -- welcome! I'm Erin, the founder of this project. I'm als a lesbian transwoman and gun owner, and the gun community has accepted me as part of their own. I'm sure they'll accept you, too, if you have an open mind about guns.
If you're a gun owner who want to volunteer for training, great! Please realize that you are volunteering to provide initial instruction, range fees, ear/eye protection and ammunition for (1) range trip. While we understand that ammo is expensive (and we encourage our LGBTQ trainees to offer to pay if possible), please realize that you don't have to bring 1,000 rounds of every caliber; just a few magazines' worth of ammo for a single firearm is sufficient.
If that is acceptable to you, please comment here with the following information:
* How you want to be known on the map (name, business name, etc)
* Your city and state
* The best way to for someone to contact you (email, telephone, text, IM, etc)
* Any other information like a business website, instructor certifications, or any other information you'd like potential students to know.
Thank you!




Take a look at the map of people who've volunteered to help teach LBGT people how to shoot:

I also saw a spike in spousal abuse due to disagreements on fund allocation.

I'm waiting for my HK VP9 FDE to come in at Four Seasons, thanks Obama and your minions to help me make another purchase.

 

[Dadstoys]

I stopped by a local fun store today and there was an older gentleman who had never even handled an AR before looking to purchase one.
And yup he was looking for someone to teach him on it.
Does my heart good.

 

[rivet_42]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I never would have become interested in owning an AR if the antis hadn't been constantly nattering about trying to ban them.
