These weapons will be replaced with “other hunting and sportsman firearms such as shot guns and rifles based on customer demand,” Lundberg said.

Just get an anti-gun politician to mention an assault weapon ban, that will fix the sluggish demand.

Probably those pump action street sweeper styled shotguns too, just like the Navy Yard killer used.

Wonder if they'll still have good deals on .223/5.56 ammunition?

Another gun control fail publicized thanks to our OP.

Sluggish demand, not gun control pressure = fail.

Almost forgot they sold them. Ammo is disappointing too. I remember when the coffee clubs met at Walmart before 7:00 AM to see if .22 came (it never did). My son in law says it is different in Alabama.
