I predict:
That you better buy your AR soon because they are going to double in price this month.
That you will not see any ammo on the shelf next week a Wallymart.
You better get those orders in people.

And thank you sir for helping to drive the price of ammo up...
YES, Non politically...sales will likely be brisk.
That will certainly happen due to the fears of gun owners.
Panic buying drives the prices up and the availability down.
Sticking your head in the sand and saying it aint so wont change things.
Have you tried to buy any AR parts lately?
It is what it is.
I predict atctimmy will soon sell-off his Colt Industries preferred stock...after a tidy profit. :wink:
We'll come back to this thread on Dec 7 and do a spot-check of AR prices.
As of 11/7/12, a sampling of prices (GunBroker) the following models, with at least 10 instances of pricing in the range:
- Stag AR15 Model 3 -- $750-950
- Colt AR15 6920 -- $1050-1150
- SIG 556 -- $850-999
- RRA A4 -- $950-1199
- S&W M&P Sport A3/A4/15OR -- $800-999
No body is sticking their head in the sand. I think we all agree that prices and availability can go up and that is because of supply and demand and that is driven by need and consumer fear.Quote:

Just saying that this is being brought up in all of the forums and that alone puts it in folks minds that their may be a problem...then they do not want to take a chance so they go out and buy ammo, then the prices start going up. It becomes a self fullfilling prophecy.Quote:

Can people stop panicking over nothing? Yeesh.
I don't let the political landscape dictate my preparedness. I predict that elected officials will act in accordance with how many votes they can get.
Well they better because I just ran out and bought two cases or Romaine!Quote:

That's because you can only survive on lettuce for, say...12 hours.Quote:
