Clinging to Guns at Least

Clinging to Guns at Least November 7, 2008

Before MM gets to it, I have to offer a second post for the day.

Local gun dealers quickly are running out of stock of magazines for Colt AR-15s and AK models and many have seen a sharp increase in the sales of those guns. 

“Pretty much anything with more than 10 rounds is in high demand right now,” said Michael Martin, a sales representative at Impact Guns in Salt Lake City. “We had one supplier go from 92 assault rifles to 12 in one day. Our suppliers are just frantically scrambling.”

While many avid gun owners now are buying $3,000 worth of guns, accessories and spare parts instead of the more typical $1,000, they aren’t the only ones stocking up, according to Bunten. He has seen a big increase in people wanting to learn how to use the large assault rifles by signing up for classes at the store.
