PMAGs for $60+
This still doesn't excuse them raising prices on single PMAGs to $60+ shortly after that statement. I remember CTD doing the same price gouging shortly after the '08 election.
Their website now lists no price and states they are out of stock.

can't believe how many firearm, ammo, etc online stores are putting "order volume is at never before seen levels" disclaimer on their websites . Paul Howe is correct. The CIC is the most successful firearm seller in US presidential history

Went to three gunshops yesterday. All three had empty racks where the semi-auto weapons were stacked. Pistol cases were scant also. Each one had a clerk on the phone eplaining to potential customers that incoming orders were almost non existent.
In this area components are almost impossible to find.

I would recommend that you never attempt to start your own business.

Has it not been said here and other BBs, time and time again, to "stock up", "buy now", "get 'em while they're cheap" ???
Those that are buying in the above post, are getting them before they're gone (ie ... illegal to buy). There has been a ban before, and the recent event in CT might just bring that ban back. Whose to say. It very well may come back. If that be the case, are they really nuts for buying now?

I ordered Magpuls and Springfield standard (non-reduced) capacity mags on Monday from Brownells and Midway, both were on sale and in stock, shipped quickly and came in today.
Those paying too much now should have worked and spent the extra money they are paying now to get the POTUS out of office.
Or seen the handwriting on the wall and ordered as soon as it was clear the Dims intended to make political points off this tragedy.
And why would somone who has these items and may not get any more sell them for the same price as before? If people are paying the price asked and quickly buying all that are offered, how can the price be excessive?

Yup, exactly. I actually bought most of everything I wanted/felt I needed during his first 4 years after the prices returned to normal. I had two items that I had been posponing, but ordered them when I knew things were going badly for the Republicants. If he gets to appoint new SCOTUS Judges, we are truly hosed for a long time.
Those who were Boy Scouts think ahead and remember the motto.

There is an outfit selling "ASSHOLE PROOFED P-Mags" for $40, and then donating the extra profit to the NRA or SOWF.
Quote:
TO OUR LOYAL SKD CUSTOMERS: These mags will not be made available at our normal price so they can be flipped to take advantage of the current buying frenzy. Nor will we be profiteering off of this current panic like some vendors in our community. In order to make these mags "ASSHOLE-PROOF", we will sell them at or near current market pricing, and donate the difference from our normal price to either the National Rifle Association or the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. If you take issue with this move on our part, please do not write, email, or call to complain- we will not respond. Just take a deep breath, do a little yoga, and channel your energy into doing something productive.

You must have been a part of this epicness --> LINK 
Brownell's says they sold 3.5 years of AR-15 mags in 3 days! The best part is getting to read it on Huff Post.
