Gun sales

One of the major online vendors for gun parts and accessories is Brownells. They bill themselves as the World's Largest Supplier of Gun Parts, etc... I buy from there, a neighbor who is a gunsmith and machinist makes tools that they sell. From CNS News:
Firearms Supplier Sells More Than Three Years Worth Of Magazines In Just Three Days
Brownells, the world's largest supplier of firearms, has reportedly sold three-and-a-half years worth of magazines in just seventy-two hours.

Brownells CEO said:
"I wanted to take a minute to shed some insight on the magazine situation if I can. First of all I wanted to offer an apology for the situation... with magazines being 'In-Stock' and back-ordered moments later... [The] demand for magazines actually exceeded the ability for the system to keep up with the volume that was being ordered."

"To shed some more light on the magazine situation at present, it really has been unprecedented in the last 5 days. During a roughly 72 hour period...we sold the 'average demand' equivalent of about 3.5 years worth of PMAGS, and an even greater amount of our Brownells magazines."
Crap -- the way people are moving in Washington, they may implement a ban before the backlog is filled. Was planning on getting an AR-15 as my next gun and then either a revolver or 1911. Time to step up the purchase date... Posted by DaveH at December 21, 2012 9:57 PM
