you realize murders, violents crimes, etc, are decreasing every year, and have reached like 50 year lows, all while gun ownership is at an all time high?
gun sales are skyrocketing, especially sales of what you would call "assault rifles". gun sales reached an all time high in a year, this year (2012), gun sales this november, sset all time high. so many sales occured on black friday, that the BAFTE background check system crached, with how many calls we being place by FFLs.
it seems your theory is incorrect

lo0 gun sales went up because half of americans are crazy nuts who are preparing for doomsday events (one is nearly upon us 20/12/2012). I seen the shows on national geographic where they store food, have bunkers, do routine target shooting.

i think most of the guns sales have been spuured by obama getting reelected, and out of fear that the will implement the "assault weapons ban" and other gun control measures. he has a long history of suppporting all kinds of gun control, and people fear his second term will "give him more flexibility" when it comes to gun control. so called "assault weapon" sales such as AR-15 have seen the greatest increases. then there are the few crazies that think the end of the world is coming

But if he changes the laws, everyone will need to give the guns back. Assuming America keeps a register of who owns what automatics and their serial numbers.
Same hting happened in Aus after Martyn Bryant massacre. Gun laws got tougher, automatic weapons got banned and people had to turn them in so they could get destroyed.
So buying them now is pointless, unless people are planning to start a civil war with them if gun law changes occur?
