Does anyone think Bushmaster will be banned by name?
No, the "Bushmaster Assault Rifle" is NOT AN AR Variant At ALL... it is a completely Different Rifle Produced by The predecessor to the Current "Bushmaster Firearms" The produced a Proprietary Rifle, as well as what was called an "Arm Pistol" which had been intended as a Survival-type weapon for Aircrews after Vietnam. The original Owner of Bushmaster has gone on to found a New company "MGI MIlitary" Bushmaster did make AR's all along, With a couple of different variants, including an XM-15 Copy, but they really came into their own after the 94 ban went into effect..they were one of the first to jump on the post-ban market and start cranking out compliant rifles.

guess i wasn't the gouger i thought
You let them do what they want maks...people will remember, and eventually this will be over, and people will remember who played Blue Falcon and who didnt. Free Market..some retailers will find that out the hard way too.. Make a Killing on the short run, and lose the majority of your customers?? or take a profit hit, but come back stronger later on? CTD and Spike's tactical played the Prices Game after the 2008 Elections. Spike's learned from their Mistake, CTD decided they could get away with it again. A year from now i guess we'll see if they were right ot not.

Sorry but the fuel thing isnt a valid argument... fuel prices are regulated by LAW. Stations are allowed to raise prices at set limits and intervals, with the incentive of VERY Hefty fines ($10K per occurance) to keep them honest. Also, the 3 distribution poiints that serve the entire area were in the storm zone and had damage, and loss of power as well. As far as the pricing thing on Guns, ammo, and accessories goes...there are retailers who are raising prices a reasonable amount, Such as Mastadon, Due to THEIR costs going up, and there are some, like say CTD, that are pricing things at 3-400%. Once all this is over, there are retailers i'll purchase from, and those I wont.

This could be bad
So you're worried about idiots buying companies they will have no idea how to run....if they want to waste their money who cares??? other companies can and WILL pick up the slack..or the Employees will just say "Screw It" and open their own place, like what happened in Maine with Windham.

Crown Victoria interceptor
They are......but you cant run a vehicle as long and as hard as CVPI's get worked and not have a downside...I know any cars that My dept sells at auction are Junk..if a car has ANY life left in it, it is stripped of Lights and equipment, and turned over to other Town departments...where they are run till they die. if you have your heart set on a CVPI, Find yourself an agency that issues personal Cars, and buy one of those, they arent as beat on as pool cars.

Out-of-state transfer
That is the way it was always looked at..in fact at one time it was actually QUITE common for someone under 18 to get his handguns that way since for years 18+ could purchase handguns from another private party but could NOT transfer from an FFL. Person A who is 18 gets his p2p, person B who is over 21 gets HIS P2p...both go to the FFIl person B buys the handgun, and they do the paperwork right there in front of the FFL who sends out the forms together. Easy Peasy...COMMON Practice. However, Everyone who did things that way was actually Violating Federal Law, and we didnt realize it at the time.. it was always ASSUMED that to be a Straw Purchase it had to involve a prohibited person..and in fact this was reinfoced by ATF at that time. Since then, however they have gone the other way, and gone with the strict LETTER of the Definition of Straw Purchase, as opposed to the Intent

Troy issues statement after getting dicked over by Dick’s Sporting Goods.
ive never seen an MSR at any Dick's in NJ..usually there is a selection of Shotguns, Hunting Rifles, .22's, and BB/Pellet rifles... That said, I hope Troy sues Dicks into the dirt for Breach of Contract. they were to be the SOLE Distributor for the line ONLY because they promised Troy volume sales. Hopefully Troy finds another distributor quickly.

Feinstein goes after EVERYTHING....
Just remember..Feinswine is playing to her base...there's no WAY this will go through the House..what we have to worry about is what the "Commission' headed by Biden comes up with...IMo they're gonna drag it out and either pass some good-sounding but toothless nonsense, ot let it die altogether after the furor dies down. Clinton's AWB was a significant reason they lost a DECADES long majority in both houses...and a lot of them are still feeling that sting.

IDF says ‘shalom’ to the M-16
As Dev said the savings in Ammunition alone was huge..but the cost per piece was less as well. Aluminum Forgings for the receivers as opposed to Steel, Plastic Stocks and furniture, as opposed to wood. the stocks and other plastic parts could be molded assembled and bonded by the dozen in the time it took the machines to hog out one wooden stock from a blank. Plus as time has gone by and better machining and manufacturing processes have become available (Wire EDM for instance) the speed and tolerances have gotten even better. Look at a GOOD standard 20" AR, (Bushy, Remington, Colt) as opposed to an M-1A you're talking almost double the price for the Springfield..because it's MUCH more labor-intensive to produce.

IDF says ‘shalom’ to the M-16
First part is ENTIRELY a training Issue Vlad..., as far as the Accessorizing..IDF has never really gotten into that from what I;ve seen, their rifles are almost always plain-jane Rifles or Carbines..MAYBE an aftermarket light or VFG, but that's about it...they dont really go for the gear queer look. They get a lot of their Military hardware from us, for the longest time they kept their small arms primarily from IMI (Galil, Uzi, IMI CZ copy) I think they have been smarting over getting their primary Rifle platform from us for a long time, plus it gives IMI the cash to keep in-country. it's certainly a National Pride issue, but also a Political one..they REALLY dont like being called our "Pawns" in the region..this is a way of showing their independance. As far as the rifle itself, they have done what the British DIDNT Do...namely make sure the damn thing worked before issuing it Forces-Wide. if the British had worked out the bugs in the L-85 BEFORE putting it in the field they wouldnt have looked as stupid as they did when HK had to rebiuld and half re-engineer the entire platform.

S&W 686 Polishing Issue
Once you get it polished up, a light coat of regular old paste wax will keep it from getting ginged up too badly..oh, and Lead-Out Cloths, along with Shooters Choice lead remover gel will be your friend...one of the things going through he Academy with a stainless revolver taught me. Our Armorer whe I got hired taught me the paste wax trick. Our 870's were almost 15 years old when i got hired, and they looked new. EVERY time one came in, it was cleaned and a light coat of wax went on it.

Can soft body armor get wet?
If allowed to get Soaking wet it also loosens up the weave, I pretty much retired the vest I wore in NOLA 2 straight weeks of 90+ Degree weather and 95+% Humidity..but i had expected that and taken an older one that was pretty much out of warranty anyway. Shot it up a couple of years later and it held up fine, but I didnt want to trust it between the age and amount of water/humidity it'd been exposed to. that said, OP, if the panels were not Sealed, I dont know if i'd trust my life to it....depending of course on how long it was submerged, WHAT it was submerged in (Clean V Polluted V Fresh v Salt) and how it was dried.

inmates go free
Rehab doesnt work unless the Junkie WANTS to quit and has the willpower to do it..I watched a girl I went to HS with bankrupt her parents..they kept sending her to rehab, and within a couple of weeks of getting out she'd be strung out and Od'd. AS far as MJ..pretty much every arrest i ever made was because the moron brought himself to my attention. My favorite was the town councilman who answered the door with a joint in his hand when we went to his place on a noise complaint

Am I crazy or do I remember correctly?
Kmart Sold Long guns into the 1990's along witl ammunition. Sport's Authority sold handguns and long guns for a while, then cut back to only long guns and ammo, then dropped it altogether. i remember as a kid (late 70's/Early 80's) Service merchandise and some Sears stors had gun sections in their sporting Goods areas, and even Herman's Sporting goods in Willowbrook had a (Albeit small) Selection of Long guns.
