    Just get stores, where law abiding citizens purchase them, to bow to political pressure to stop selling them. I was following the Richard's thread, but in the meantine, Cheaper than Dirt has now suspended all online gun sales and Academy Sports has taken down all AR's excep those chambered in .22. Not to mention Cerberus' announcement to sell their arms group. Add in the NRA taking down their facebook page. Additionally, NBC has announced that it will suspend all hunting and shooting shows on VS channel. A knee jerk reaction for sure, but scary how fast things can change. Literally overnight. I am not a reactionist and nor did i run out and buy more guns and ammo, however, I couldn't help but think of this famous quote.

    First they came for the communists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

    Then they came for the socialists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for me,
    and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Ever think some people don't want to profit from a tragedy like this?

    The sky is the same distance from the earth's surface. I promise.

    You know Vito, I sometimes think you failed reading comprehension. I take solace in your promise. Note I did not run out and purchase anything. I was merely pointing out how the political winds changed instantaneously. We are witnessing it.

    Twice in a day? I don't know.

    Chicken Little did not purchase supplies. He was a fear monger.

    Actually we don't, via the court ruling they can impose reasonable restrictions.

    I would expect
    Magazine restrictions to 10 rounds
    Close the gun show loop hole as they call it.

    Make it illegal to sell guns on the secondary market, only through a FFL.
    I realize that last one is about impossible.

    And that will change absolutely nothing, other than taking rights away from law abiding citizens.
