Calvin Fuller, owner of Sandpoint Outfitters in Ponderay, said he has seem the same action here in North Idaho. “It started about three or four days after the election,” he said. “We’ve seen sales four times what is normal. Right now, my suppliers are completely out of assault-type rifles, weapons like the AR-15 style semi-auto and handguns that carry more than twelve rounds in the magazine. Normally,” he added, “it’s 10 to 12 weeks (for a custom order) direct from the manufacturer. Now it’s 20 weeks or more.” In addition, “The price for both guns and ammo is on the rise. From what I’ve been hearing there’s concern about a proposal to implement a 500 percent tax on some of the ammunition (these types of weapons) require”/Trish Gannon, River Journal. More here.
