[FONT=&quot]An online gun store based in the United States sold more than 30,000 AR-15 assault rifles in one seven-day period.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hunter's Warehouse, based in Bellevue, Pennsylvania, claims that since the killing of 49 people in the Orlando nightclub shooting,the AR-15 has proved popular with buyers.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A semi automatic relation of the military M-16 assault rifle, the AR-15 was used in the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, San Bernadino Inland Regional Centre and Pulse nightclub in Orlando.



[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The owner of Hunter's Warehouse, Tom Engle, told Fox Business: "In particular the AR-15 has been selling very, very well. Shootings don’t push up gun sales[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“It’s when the government starts talking about banning particular guns and up go gun sales.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“When people lose their right to buy a particular gun or a particular type of gun, they go after them and they want them then.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Assault rifles such as the AR-15 were banned in the United States by the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The weapons were then reintroduced into the market after the law expired in 2004 when the US Congress failed to renew it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Gun owner Jon Stokes from Texas wrote on Vox: "With the AR platform, a person with absolutely no gunsmithing expertise can buy one gun and a bunch of accessories, and optimise that gun for the application at hand. You can even make an AR-15 into a pistol,” [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“Cops and civilians buy AR-15s because that one gun can be adapted to an infinite variety of sporting, hunting, and use-of-force scenarios by an amateur with a few simple tools.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"In this respect, the AR-15 is basically a giant Lego kit for grown-ups.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the wake of the recent Orlando mass shooting, the US Senate has failed to pass new gun law restrictions including stronger buyer background checks and preventing pople on the FBI's terror watch list.[/FONT]

Smith and Wesson stock is down a little from the March highs but it has been a big gainer last 6-7 years.

Up 2.50% today. Would think as it becomes more and more apparent that HRC is getting in that it will inch upward.

Tough to run too much given how much it has already gone up.

If citizens did not arm themselves with the latest weapons they would still be using

I guess that falls under unintended consequences. The more BO opens his pie hole the more people by guns.
