My buddies gun shop down here in Florida is screaming with sales.

Yeah, guns and ammo are on back order EVERYWHERE!
Mags, too. Glock has a waiting list, at least one industry is doing well in this economic climate, I just wish it weren't so ominous.
I also hope that these manufacturers and importers are taking this monry and dumping it DIRECTLy into lobbying efforts and legal help-they are gonna need it!
