Deckeda-
It seems to me that the gun boom (Fatherland Security purchasing not withstanding) that is currently going on has been spurred by the politicians and haters that are calling for a ban on the guns. A call goes out to ban the AR-15 type of weapon and people react accordingly. The haters rejoice and shout (as they do on this forum) and the gun users decide that they must BUY NOW before a ban goes into effect.
The result is low supply and high demand, which has seen the AR-15 type weapon rocket from roughly $800 to over $2000 per gun - and most of that increase came in a matter of days following the cry for a ban.
Are they being bought out of spite?
$2K is a lot to spend simply because you hate Obama and democrats, but I'm sure there are those out there that are doing it.
I think that most of the purchasing being done today is not out of spite but rather because of perceived scarcity that has resulted in actual scarcity.
