Reply #134: My local shop stopped all layaway pending election outcome...

[JoeyMac]

I've noticed that my local shop has been packed lately and the stock on the shelves is dwindling. I heard the shop owner explaining to a customer that they would not accept a layaway application on an AR15 (Black Rifle) until the election results cleared up. He said that if McCain gets elected layaways and custom orders will again be taken... if obama gets elected then no credit/layaway/custom orders will be issued. Basically, it's resorted to cash'n'carry. I also heard from a Class 3 weapons dealer that his orders have SKYROCKETED recently so he is having alot of touble keeping up and the ATF is experiencing a long backlog with longer than normal delays.

I attribute this to mostly ignorant hysteria rather than just hysteria. I mean, the guns won't be banned the moment (if/when) obama gets elected. The ban will happen AFTER the innauguration (duh).

I still got a few months to get a few more "assault weapon" recievers and a few dozen hicap mags.
I just picked up a new silencer over the weekend so I'll be good on those in the near term future.
