(3,335 posts)After Obama was elected in 2008, there was a shortage of bullets which drove up the price of bullets to a dollar each. Poor dummies, another manufactured crisis for the gun shop owners to profit from. This is just one more.

(9,436 posts)Gun store sees boom in business after deadly week
PORTLAND, Ore. In the wake of two deadly shootings at an elementary school in Connecticut and a mall here in Oregon, many families are turning to guns for protection.
At one of Oregons largest gun sellers the owner told us that business has been booming.
Karl Durkheimer, the owner of Northwest Armory in Southeast Portland, said that in 20 years of business, this week has been his busiest week in sales, with Saturday being the single busiest day, and its not holiday shopping bringing in the customers.
Durkheimer said smaller handguns that can be concealed have been the biggest sellers.

It's been that way for quite a while. I suspect that right now, it would be difficult if not impossible to find certain models available for purchase.
