... someone who is honest about their agenda.

If only your comrades felt the courage to be so forthright.

I hear the Rockettes are otherwise engaged as well.

Just once I wish a reporter would use proper definitions

The only thing that came close was a Ruger .22 version of an AR.

They've been sold out for weeks and are waiting on the next delivery from their wholesaler, but it will be at least another 3 weeks they estimate.

They're all sold out across the country

"Assault Rifle" being the proper term for a selective fire ( both semi and full automatic) close and medium range combat rifle which is very tightly regulated under the NFA, and not available to the general public without extensive background checking, permitting, and a tax stamp. "Assault weapons", OTOH, are rifles that scare politicians, and are semi-automatic rifles that are defined by whatever means the politician finds expedient.

Why be held hostage to a few hyper anti's?

Sellers are already sold out. Idiotic law proposals put more AR-15's in the public in the least few weeks than the last few months combined. Gun show here this weekend is sold out except a few highly over priced models. Backlash of ignorance.


Yup.

(1) assault rifles have been tightly regulated since the 30s, and there is virtually no market for them; and

(2) the ACTUAL guns you refer to -- semi-auto carbines -- have probably sold out around the nation.
