Part Time Workers Celebrate The Recovery With Soaring Gun Purchases
Following continued strength in earnings (and analyst upgrades), Smith & Wesson is up 23% this morning (near three year highs). It seems all those freshly printed temporary workers are spending their hard-earned minimum wage on 'defense' instead of iPads.

That is just two funny!
Guns for industry.

Real inflation in cheap romanian AKs: 11.3%
last year's price $439. This year's $489.

19 in clip better than six in cylinder... unless of course you're talking concealed carry...
It's a mag Francis.
I want to buy a gun but I think gold is a better investment. Does anyone make a solid gold revolver? Maybe a 22 Karat Colt?
Buy a 22 caliber carrot.
Try Desert Eagle - Gold plated anyways...
Are Romanian AKs also the reason for the widening trade deficit and spike in imports ?
Those Romanian AKs work.No Q Tips needed.
This.
Also, they have both rifle and pistol variants available in .223, if you like to throw homegrown lead.
stock up, bitchez.
this american is ready...
"American are to fat and dumb to revolt...bande de gros cave!!!!"
Yes but they are about to go on a CRASH diet and get a CRASH course in economics.
That should help.

Sorry about that, I didn't realize she was your wife.
Guns are easy, plentiful and pretty reliable, Ammunition is an expendable item. You need a helluva lot more than 5 boxes of ammo on your shelf. Think Logistics. Think lots of ammunition. If you have a couple guns, spend your money on ammo...lots of it.
Bullish...
Shooting our way to recovery. We shall be "lead" into a recovery as we "slug" it out. The fed is using a "shotgun" approach as they cannot find the magic "bullet".

I'm doing my part to bail out Europe by buying Glocks.
Me 2. Got to give a hand to the land of my ancestors.
US sold Glocks are assembled in Georgia I believe so we skim a little off the top before Herr Glock gets his cut. I have three glocks with two more in the immediate family. I just wish Herr Glock would make a carbine, I would buy one in 10mm in a heartbeat. Closest thing I have found is Kel-tech makes a 40s&w and 9mm carbine that takes glock mags. I have the .40 version, they call it the sub-2000 and it is a ugly little sucker but shoots real nice for the price($350).
The gun industry is booming. That's pretty punny.
Got the 9mm ver. myself... kicks like a fooking mule it does but surprisingly accurate.
I have a 9mm gen 4. If the gun is not straight when I am firing, it will through an empty casing into my forehead. I froze the first time that happened. There is nothing like practice to figure things out before the real thing.
I had to order the gun online as the police bought all the ones in the local market. I live in Miami. Enjoy your retirement.
Kindred Spirit RobD.
These ain't cheap:

There are a number of mfg's out there depending on model of Glock you have. Seems to be catching on. Shot a Glock .40 recently and really liked it but I'm stocked for 9mm...
Got my Sub2k because of its folding feature. It is fun to shoot but too unreliable to depend on in a real bad situation. You get what you pay for.
iGuns.
Funny, but I wish I had thought of it.
I also wish you would stop doing that to sheep.
Them fluffy little whoors was askin fer it.
I'll be adding to this number next week after completing my concealed carry permit.
Is it a good idea to do that? Wouldn't that flag you as a gun owner?
Does it really make any difference at all?
Like SheepDog says, what the fuck does it matter? I know that law enforcement stands behind permit holders rather than just owners.
Here in Florida my gunbroker told me that they are the only ones that keep a record of the gun. However, the conceal weapon permit is a state thing or am I wrong?
It also flags you as someone who knows their rights. You got gunz? I got gunz too.

What's a malformed video? Like an Igor in a scary movie?
Wife insisted that I get trained and get a permit in order to buy a gun. She said that it would make her feel much safer. So instead of having a long argument, I decided to pay the $100 and get a permit. Fuck it.
Proper firearms training and pleasing the wife are two things you should never feel bad about. I'm amazed (and frightened) by some of the things I see people at the range. You're taking the right path.
I used to frequent an indoor range in Tucson Az and the walls between the lanes at the shooting line had steel plates attached to both sides of the walls. It was a good thing as most of them had been "used" more times then you would like to see.
I agree with her, training is important, lots of cleaning-weapons accidents can be prevented so, and the way you train is important, every movement you train with is replicated in stress situations.
not that long ago they have found out that picking up cartridges is bad - if you train this way you'll be picking up cartridges instead of reloading during a gunfight - happened to several cops all over the world...
Cleaning up after yourself at the range is easy with an AK. The empties just vanish.
LOL, yeah, depending where you shoot, sometimes the guy in the shooting lane to your right will get a little upset.
The Yugoslavian AKMS (sinister looking wire under-folder with bonus grenade launcher attachment) does it best.
Cartridges ricochet off the chicken wire screen and fly down-range somewhere; I can never find them.
Hard to beat the AK. Field stripping involves removing receiver cover, main spring, and rotating bolt assembly. Four parts. I don't think it's possible to reassemble it wrong...and they just run forever.
Funny youtube tests. Dude stuffs a twinkie in the mag wells and test fires.
AK vs. Twinkie
AR-15 vs. Twinkie
I've always liked the Hungarian S85 myself, but I've never shot a yugo one either, though, so that might change my mind :)
First time I shot one (a wasr), I marvelled at how far spent cartridges flew
CZ 858
There is something to be said about training and practicing. However, in my opinion most accidents discharges have to do with just plain bad habits. Before cleaning a gun, take all the bullets out AND take the bullets out of the room. You can reload a gun without even noticing. You will NEVER have a cleaning accident if you get into this habit.
Even the guy at the gun shop when checking the serial numbers on the gun was pointing it at me. Number one mistake pointing a gun thinking it is empty. Again bad habit. Pointing a pistol up --> Yes bad habit
Bad habits will get you a bullet ticket to the hospital. Also, macho stupid shit. Think twice before getting one of those ghost trigger aids. If you cannot fire a couple of clips with 3 and 1/2 pounder or even 5, the problem is you. Exercise that finger. And for fuck sake a pistol is not meant to be automatic. You will shoot you hand.
Alright. Rant of the day. Sorry.
Down vote for being a pussy.
Time for the shameless plug. Go to Gunbroker.com now.
I've gotton some good deals on gunsamerica.com also. Just picked up an M1A scout squad at $300 below the local dealer price.
I could have sworn that chart was the Fed balance sheet.

Sio what happened to the Greece default that was being declared here yesterday? Looks like Greece didn't default. So, what was all that about yesterday?
Greece defaulted. ECB stealing money to sell worthless bonds to pretend Greece didn't default.
The default happened a long time ago and continue in default. Only the players are working out who owes who details, further fucking the people of greece hard and deep down the rabbit hole.
Maybe the 'sheeple' aren't as sheep-like as those in power are assuming. Maybe they're just following the 1% and sucking as much out of the system as they can before everything goes to shit.
I kept reading the headline as "soaring GUM purchases", and was left wondering why part time workers celebrate with chewing gum.
YEA now thats what Im talkin about! The peasants are arming themselves! Remember dont fire till you see the whites of their eyes...take at least 1 down!
pfft...thats only for people that buy pistols. Any peasant worth their soylent green SHOULD be buying nato era main battle rifles.
Pistols are for shooting muggers and dipshits that cut you off in traffic. I know it's in jest but some newly awakened peasent may be out there reading this and taking it seriously.
Homeland security is beating expectations...bullish !
Minimum wage slaves can only afford HiPoints.
As long as it fires, who cares.
exactly. It doesn't make a shit of a difference what makes the hole, because no one has a sunny day after they get their second navel.
Hi-Points are no match for my baby.
also, Ammo, magazines and replacement parts.
"when Tyrrany becomes law, Rebellion becomes duty"
It's sooooo funny..
Ruger has done well. Made in America my friends.
Just bought a new ruger 270 model 77 I love it.
Way to go. I lust after that model myself. Maybe after the economy improves....nah. I'll be dead by then.
I'll just try to make do with my old obsolete .308 Winchester Model 70.
Ruger makes great stuff. I had a Stainless Steel Mini-14 and a P89 along with a 10/22 until I lost them all in a boating accident.
I got a letter from the NRA about some new laws that will curtail gun rights. I wonder if this jump has something to do with that.
first letter?
what would your opinion be, if you could pretend to have one. robot?
i can see you've posted aboveabove that you're into glocks
was it your first letter, or not?
and, how would you answer your own "innocent" question?
go ahead and junk me, but please put out a little more about how much info you get from the NRA and what your thinking is like, ok?
don't play games around weapons and the constitution. play straight here, if you are willing to "come out" but don't do NRA 'teases' if you have an agenda around them, is all
The NRA can save money by not sending me a letter 3 times a week.
+1 I was thinking the same thing when I cancelled my membership with them.
Boy ain't that the truth. It drives me nuts when they waste all that money mailing shit out asking me to renew my membership and I still have three years before my membership is up.
If it wasn't for the NRA and the credit card companies looking for more suckers the USPS would be really in trouble.
Just call or email the NRA and ask for the reduced mail option.
Or, become a life member. The mail volume drops a lot then.
exactly!
the NRA can't keep up with the "legislative proposals"
their membership has been fuked to death by the legislative "news" and the organization's needs for money to stand up to the fuking nannies who can out-organize motherNature, btw...
[kinda like the "iran" propaganda assaults, in many non-stop ways, by analogy]
so, everybody is just responding to the absolute mountains of fuking bullshit coming outa prez0+bilary-town by making sure that when they really try to shut it down, if they are really that fuking styoooopid, they're done w/ their x-mas shopping, is all, even if they hafta borrow the money to get the shopping done, here! L0L!!!
I not only get 3 letters a week but the NRA sent me a membership renewal letter 3 weeks after I joined.
Sounds plausible. Anything on the NRA site about it?
(Wasn't sure what to look for...)
Guess I should have loaded up on Smith & Wesson. But I just couldn't get myself to pull the trigger. It should have been an automatic. Perhaps it will be a revolver and I can get it once some people unload.
You kind of missed on this one, but hey...at least you took a shot at being funny.
I got a couple of up clicks so I feel like I hit the target.
One was from me...your post was a fun target...I was just plinking.
I'm glad you sighted it and clicked. Otherwise I may have felt like I shot myself in the foot. Some may have thought my comment was a hollow point but at least I had the brass to post it.
That's a tight group of puns...ok, I'm done.
I aim to please. I'm done too...all out of ammo.
I finally figured it out.
Temp jobs working to process student loan applications, file for tax refunds because H&R Block can get me mo money, processing siri requests at home on google to send reply to iphones, processing foreclosure documents since that little issue is "solved", and processing CCW permits.
Part Time Workers Celebrate The Recovery With Soaring Gun Purchases
Inspired headline! :D
Might make sense to get one of these, too.

Remember, America has a volunteer military. A lot of vets out of work or working part time. Could get interesting should they be called up to fight themselves.
SHOT this year was packed. Current inventory from distribution and manufacturers is abysmal. The gun buisness is booming. Thank you central banks, Mr Obama and all the Neocons pounding the war drums over Iran and Syria. 2012 should be a bumper year.
So was the Indy 1500. Packed like the fucking Stones were playing, even on Sunday when I showed up.
My shameless plug time: I drive 2.5 hours to go to Indy and it's well worth it. 1500 + 8 foot tables, takes about 4 hours to walk the whole thing and you'll find prices that typically match or sometimes better than anything you'll find on the web. There's one coming 16, 17, 18 of March, next weekend. Go to it if you've never been, you won't be sorry.
"...We only want the weapons for defensive purposes."
That's why we frequently use metaphors about killing, shooting, and threatening people.
That's why we pose with big smiles in gun glamor shots.
That's why we fight for the right to carry guns in public places, schools government buildings.
That's why we believe more killing machines make us safer.
Oh, and before I forget, Iran doesn't pose a threat. They are merely a victim of circumstance.
Makes perfect sense.
Who is "we" you commie?
I think someone dropped a turd in the souffle.
Well "we" are a victim of the circumstance of retards trolling here who think they are clever
You can pick up a S&W M&P15 (AR15) for $599! 1000 rounds through and not a hitch.
Ammo at Walmart is sold out within 48 hours they get it in.....38....45....308....223......when i ask the salesman why everyone is buying so much ammo he looks at me like I am from Mars.
try asking in spanish
Hahaha!
It looks like the latest surge coincides with the nice government men telling us they reserve the right to send us to Gitmo whenever they want to. But maybe that's just a random coincidence.
It goes boom, it goes boom.
Should this really worry TPTB, though?
People might be increasingly well-armed, but are most people arming because they don't trust the government?
Observation of people suggests to me that the majority of them are stupid. If they're stupid and armed, then all TPTB needs to do is to get them to see each other as a threat - light the blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance.
If the shit really hits the fan, how will it play out?
Glock 36. Slimline, can carry it in your pants pocket.
Get the permit, saves a lot of hassle.
"Sons of Guns" Bitchez...
Cultural point of information for those people for which english is a second language (e.g., those living in California, not necessarily "residents" of said location)..."sons of guns" actually originates from the English Navy. It has nothing to do with firearms and has everything to do with "gunnies" on board the ship making babies when they had shore leave.
Remember when all the reality TV shows on cable were about flipping houses? Now it seems every other one is about guns. I'm thinking we're nearing a top, and I for one look forward to the deeply discounted secondary market that is sure to come from all this.
Far from that point.I do agree there will be a secondary market,just not there.SHTF scenerios must play out.Elites get off on that.
And all of those shows are like commercials for gun makers. It's sickening. What is also sickening is the near total ignorance of the people on those shows when it comes to guns--I saw a segment the other night where a 45ACP was described as "high velocity." There is nothing high velocity about a 900fps 45ACP you assholes! It's high velocity compared to a rock being thrown, I guess...
I hate reality tv. Really, really hate it.
Out passed 50+ yrds,shes sinking.10mm makes up for that.At 100 yards,the 10 is traveling at the same rate as a .45 coming out of muzzle..45 a good stopper indeed,proven.But if i need to reach out a little,my 10 comes into play.
Are you saying guns and ammo are in a bubble?
this is a stupid headline
people keep buying tyler drinks, this morning
it's the ISDA party!
Out of the 12 states looking to pass no conceal permit laws, I'm especially looking forward to the passage in Ohio. Out of all the states choosing to go the fully armed route, Ohio has the largest population centers. Guns concealed on a rancher in Cheyanne is kinda cool and I respect this right. Yet oh will it be fun when waring tribes converge on a Cleveland Applebee's and shoot up each other over politically and racially divided tensions.
Not to pick nits but I'm pretty sure no self respecting rancher in Cheyenne conceals his six gun.
Permits,another revenue racket.
Fine with me. A smaller golden horde to deal with in my outer 'burbs.
no dishonor being poor.but unarmed and poor means your a slave
FUCKING AYE!
War spurring gun purchases in America? WTF? Reminds me of a comment made to me on 9/11/01. As I got to work, I was unaware of the first plane hitting WTC. When I got there, this idiot contractor yells "Get your guns! Were under attack!" Now mind you, being a avid gun owner myself, I appreciate the feeling of that cold steel in my hands. But come on, can a .223 really reach Afghanistan? U.S. military takes care of shit outside of our borders. Americans need guns to counter OUR government!
And its not like a smallarm would really matter if our own gov't decided to attack its own people anyway. Take a look at Iraq or Afghanistan...how many soldiers were killed by small arms after the initial invasion? They're all riding around in armored humvees, MRAPs, tanks etc. which, now that things are winding down, I expect to all get shipped back to CONUS and handed out to local police departments.
People should be stocking up on fertilizer and fuel if they want to have a chance against big sister.
Invest in precious metals... brass, lead and blued steel bitchez!
That's why God created money, to purchase food and guns:)
And God created money...and then he created woman to take it away.
I'm pretty sure if S&W stock is up and if it is not related to all the robots trolling the markets then it would be due to sales to law enforcement and not just retail purchases by Joe Sixpack. The M&P line is making some inroads into Glock's business. Glock is pretty much giving the guns away.
Quick, short butter.
