Damn.
Looks like a funeral or something. Except for the one guy in blue, everyone else is wearing dark clothes.

I'd really want to know there is anything worth waiting for before standing in line.

I like to picture the NYSE trading floor but with more guns.
It's probably just the people who filled out there 4473's last weekend and just got approved.

yep, same here we had from 2004 till last week to get prepared for this, now these rubes are picking through overpriced scraps just to try and have something, if all these people would have gone out and voted we would not be in this pickle.

You know it just occurred to me... If anyone has anything they want to sell, and I mean anything, I think you've found yourself a gold mine. Just drive up to that line tomorrow (I'm sure it will be there again) and holler out what you're selling, and I'll bet they'll swarm you. It's like a gun show flash mob!

Ive got a GSG MP5 clone I've been thinking of selling. This sounds like a great idea.
I wonder how many of the people scrambling to buy stuff up actually voted for Obama last month?
That's funny... how many do you think bought a one gun and a couple boxes of ammo?!?

AND not doing a BG check where 3 or more people are is against CO law. Why hassle? Of course you can plant a ringer asking "hey anyone see that guy with the Guns 4 sale sign off the hwy?

I had the misfortune of going into the Firing Line last Saturday. It was a zoo. I overheard several people filling out their 4473's asking questions because they had never filled one out before. I even saw one couple that screwed the form up so badly the guy had to start over with a new form. Seems there was some confusion as to who was actually purchasing it.
My guess would be there are a shit ton of people who never owned a firearm who are buying one.
Kind of spooky.

Prime example of procrastination if you ask me. Poor saps. Should have stocked up the first time they voted the Obamanation into office!
6 months from now we are going to see firearm thefts go through the roof.

Where's all the wimmins in that line? [Coffee]
If there is an economic collapse, these will be the idiots running around like chickens with their heads cut off...
As scrunched as it can be inside on the weekends I'd hate to be there then. When you squeeze bauy someone do you A-pass sunny side forward or B-give them the ass? [obama]

Face-to-face.... maintain eye contact
That's my local shop and I wanted to go get some targets for my next fun trip to the range but I think I will pass...

There isn't enough money to drag me near the place. Not to mention with CBI taking as long as it is you'll have to come back to the next show to pick up your purchase.
Agreed no way in hell, they shut down soon for the holidays anyways.

I was there later in the day than the picture. I certainly did not vote for Obama, nor am I procrastinator. I am not a poor SAP, I am a smart jack. I bid on some of the 5280 Gunbroker auctions and some others 45 minutes after the shooting. A gamble at the time. Those purchases already went up
30 to 50 percent in value. I don't plan on selling, but it was a sad feeling thinking that this may be last time I buy a so called evil black rifle. I prepared well since 2004 buy dtill very sad days we are in.

Today will be even worse, their FB page said they had LOTS of PMAGs in stock. [Bang]
Drove by 5280 and just kept driving.. I hate lines. No panic buying for me. I did mine in 2008:) I finally hit 5k saved for a SR25 and this crap happens... I Guess my ARs will have to hold me over till the panic subsides.

If this auction is an indicator.. it might be worth waiting in line :)

MGT wasn't too bad today. Only about a dozen folks cruising in and out at noon. They still had some handgun and rifle ammo left (no 556). They did however have a 1911 I've been wanting.
