    That is a normal pattern in supply and demand theory. The second sentence should read "until demand exceeds supply and prices will rise accordingly".

    Colt and BCM have lowered prices. Will others follow suit?
    Go in peace, but be prepared for violence.

    BCM and COLT appear to have gotten a Jump on the Slump. Those who've lagged are going to suffer greatly I think...

    I agree with this thought pattern. I believe that BCM is hands down, making the best decisions out there at the moment.

    It is also going to be a shame if anyone here enters the next ban or panic without at least a good supply of items they may want or need. Prices may never be this affordable especially after the next couple of years. There is too much up in air, so to speak, to take a chance. Don't be that guy in 20 years saying, "if only I had done this or that in 2014/15".

    My only worry is that after all the geared up production demanded by the panic, that a possible bust cycle may damage or eliminate some companies that bought infrastructure to meet the demand. Right now we have a robust firearms economy which allows for creative thinking and product development. I'd hate to see a prolonged bust cycle undo a lot of the gains.

    That (if actually the case) was piss poor thinking on their part, and Boo Hoo.

    Another panic is years off. What needs to happen is that the 12 year olders right now... playing HALO call of warfare XII need to come to firearm purchasing age. They are the next crop of customers for the AR, Huge banana clips, etc.

    Everyone else pretty much has what he "needs" at this point and the demand is in hangover level... with some odds and ends purchasing going on because of good prices.

    That's my take, Mama.

    I think you're spot on.

    I have what I "need" right now, but if Colts drop to <$750 and BCM starts offering blonde 20 year olds with upper purchases I'll keep buying.

    Yeah, if Hillary wins, it is a little over two years off.

    That isn't going to happen unless something odd occurs to create positive perception towards that rancid cunt.

    A hilary panic would be a dwarf compared to the Sandy Hook shooting under the lunatic Musloid we have now.

    Don't know about that, Obama should have never own reelection and she did... Who knows, maybe Elizabeth Warren with a loaded congress and her wacko views will be running this country come Janaury 2017. I've lost faith in your average American, we live in a world where most people are plugged into the matrix.
