Banic?

[Laufen]

Yeah, that's a term coined by me some 9 years ago on TheHighRoad.org...so don't even think about stealing it!

Anyway, has anyone noticed a run on mags, ammo, guns, etc as of yet, or are we all waiting for some formal proposal before we go batshit crazy?

 

[AirOpsMgr]

I don't think it will be noticeable until suppliers show none available / backorder; that's when the panic will really kick into gear

You could also watch Cheaper Than Dirt, I hear they have a tendency to hike prices as soon as they sniff a panic.....

Nooooo! Their algorithms are responsible for price hikes. They're just along for the ride.

Correction: watch their algorithm-driven price points to identify panic buying

SGammo just got hammered on their CCI blazer 9mm bulk ammo. They had hundreds of cases in stock yesterday, now they show -20...never seen a negative number on there.

Not a fucking thing getting banned. Please though, drive the prices through the roof, I have some shit I would like to offload.

Dammit!! I just got back from walmart and there is no .22LR. Not even the crappy stuff nobody likes to shoot.

I'd like to think we are panicked out at this point. I bought a few mags yesterday, but I buy stuff when I see a deal anyway. No one cared when I purchased a bunch of Troy mags for $8 last month, but apparently I was hurting someone yesterday when I spent $9 on Pmags.

I agree, I don't foresee any bans either, maybe some discussions about increasing background checks and such, but only if this last incident doesn't fall off the radar within the next few weeks.

If it truly was just a purchase because it was a good price, that's one thing....but in the context of the thread it sounded more akin to pre-emptive panic buying; which is what sets all this stuff in motion.

What if it's been waiting, wanting to get some more pmags for less than $10 shipped, and because of the shooting decided $10.28 shipped was close enough.

Because that's what I did.

gander was packed today at the gun counter, at least after i got done looking at about 20 guns with my wife that we did not buy. Not my fault they only has one salesman.

Eric Erickson is telling everyone to run out and buy all the guns and ammo you can. It sounds like he's an investor in Adventure Outdoors.

That's how you know a panic is going on, people are buying guns at Gander Mtn.

lol I went for the selection to look, but there were people there buying.

 

[FatAlbert]

I ain't gonna lie. I've been meaning to buy some more pmags for awhile and I went ahead and orderd 20 yesterday not long after I heard about the shooting. I wanted some green one's to keep my 300blk in so I don't mix them up with my 556.

 

[medium187mph]

He who hasn't already stocked up is either a broke ass or a dumbass and probably both.

I restock what I shoot as needed.

Though I do find myself in the classifieds making spontaneous purchases lol
