UPDATE: Status of Gun Industry

Interestingstatus report from Valley Guns in West Virginia:

Status of gun industry

Attention F.B. fans: to follow will be several IMPORTANT Info updates about the status of the gun industry currently, followed by an INVENTORY UPDATE: We traveled to Texas for Industry meetings concerning the shortages, here's what we were told. 

Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.

RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days. 

FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out! 

Armalite: Maxed out. 

DPMS: Can't get enough parts to produce any more product. 

COLT: Production runs increasing weekly...bottle necked by Bolt carrier's. 

LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity...can't get enough gun quality steel to make barrels. 

Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind. 

AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.

MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon. 

RELOADERS... ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra's for reloading purposes... it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted...

  They didn’t know when they’d be getting anything back in stock, from magazines to rifles to pistols. Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand. It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20—were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone. This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.

Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein and the rest of the Statists have done more to promote gun ownership than the NRA ever did. Well done, Democrats!

Well at least he gave the democraps credit for the high sales .

barack prays to allah every day that some fool will start a war and give him the excuse to kill us all. the only hope we have to win this war is the constitution.the law of the land will work if we the people stay the course and use it.don't forget the last violent war america fought for our freedom was the civil war and the wrong side won

Damn, yote, and I thought I was the only person here who knew that the wrong side won that war!!!! Now for the folks who will jump on this and start criticizing, just think about it. Lincoln invaded a sovereign state, illegally. He instituted the first draft. He issued an Executive Order and then signed the very first welfare act to support his actions. Then consider that after the war, he paved the way (expanded by Andrew Johnson) for the further pillaging of the defeated South, and the country has steadily spiraled downward ever since (with the short exception of economic booms after both World Wars). The biggest problem with Lincoln's actions lie in the fact that if the South had been left alone, slavery would have gone the way of the dodo bird, simply due to the realization that it was no longer economically feasible, and the mechanization of farming. The North would have lost it's forced tax revenues that had been unjustly accessed against the Southern states, and the Confederacy would have increased it's national wealth by free trade with European countries. Eventually, the two nations would have reconciled, the unjust tariffs would have been eliminated and the newly reformed US would have become much stronger financially, and might possibly have avoided the involvement instigated by the money barons that created WWI!!!!!!!!! There would never have been a welfare system that basically created the current national fiasco, and socialism wouldn't have had an opportunity to gain momentum in the nation!!!!!!!!!!!

rt,I think there are many on this forum that would agree but I have to admit, I was expecting to get raked over the coals for that statement

RT has been saying that around here for so long it don't rile people much anymore .

DUMP YOUR STOCK NOW!!! CalPens is!
Oh, wait, don't buy.....my stock just went up!

Well, at I guess this is a good thing, considering the reason for this is because people are getting reading for "something." As long as it isn't because DHS is buying up everything. I'm sure that's part of it too, though.

Here's a good article regarding South Carolina's secession.

Both give good arguments that are on both sides of the fence.

The way I look at it; the Constitution was ratified by 9 of 13 states (more followed eventually), which put it into effect. South Carolina ratified it on May 23, 1788, and in 1789 it took effect. Under the Constitution, a federal form of government is apparent. Amendment 10 confirms this: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." Basically, powers are divided (federalism). In America's federal system, you legally cannot leave the Union (or maybe that's simply assumed?). Article I Section 10: "No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation..." In any case, you can't do any of the latter under Art. I Sec. 10. 

Article VI mentions the supremacy clause, which basically states that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and any conflicting state laws are nullified. So, in essence, South Carolina voted on the Constitution's ratification. Thus, they were under jurisdiction of the federal system, Art. I Sec. 10, and the supremacy clause (and of course the Constitution in general). Legally, they could not secede.

I'm not trying to start an argument; to each his own. It's water over the dam anyway. I'm just giving you my take on it.

The Constitution also outlined the process whereby laws were to be passed and how each state was to be legally represented. South Carolina and the other states that formed the Confederacy were denied due process when the tariffs were put into place on cotton production and the sale of cotton. The Federal Government mandated that all raw cotton had to be sold to Northern cotton brokers, and such sales were taxed unfairly. Then the Southern growers were denied due process by being prohibited from selling directly to European consumers. This created a monopoly for the Northern brokers, while denying Southern planters to enact in free trade. This was in direct opposition to the Constitutionally protected rights of the States rights protected under the Constitution. South Carolina, first threatened secession, when her own favorite sons Andrew Jackson was Potus, and John C. Calhoun was VPOTUS. Jackson threatened to send Union troops into SC and arrest the Governor, and the state legislature if such action was taken. If we are to actually believe in the Second Amendment, then the individual states have a Constitutional right to activate the militia and stand in preparedness to fight an oppressive Federal Government. When South Carolina seceded, the state was enacting the rights reserved to it by the Constitution. When Lincoln sent Federal troops to Fort Sumter, he did so without the approval of the United States Congress, thus he violated the Constitution and started the war.

One also has to remember that South Carolina, being one of the thirteen original colonies, was first a party to the Articles of Confederation, which pre dated the formation of the United States, and under those articles any state could leave the Union. The people of South Carolina did not feel that right was lost with the ratification of the Constitution. Neither, apparently did the other 12 states that joined in forming the Confederacy.
