If Clinton wins, are we going to have another BIG round of panic buying? Or do you think people have hoarded enough guns and supplies?

Being in the business, I see that most people panic bought and watched the price gouging and are set, in their own minds.

Since gun sales are at an all time high and gun manufacturers are running 24 / 7 just to keep up, we have been in a panic buying mode since the assclown moved in the White-house.

........ enough guns and supplies? Only when I can not shut the front door because of all the guns, only then will I have enough.

I prefer the term "Carefully Considered Accumulation".
Enough for everything I may want or need to do, plus a bit more.

I kind’a like panic buying. Racing to the store, cussing every driver and stop light who slows you down, then race walking from the parking lot to the ammo/components shelves, heart pounding, eyes scanning for yet another 10,000 primers or 16-24 pounds of powder while you warily eye anyone else on the aisle, that hysterical giggling when you score – it is the stuff of life itself...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

No panic, just buying or selling according to market conditions ! If Hilldog wins, guns, ammo and components will be much more valuable than money.

No panic buying for me.
Just PROTEST buying.
The Brown piece of crap that runs our state just signed into law that we have to register to buy ammo. Starting 1/1/17
my protest so far is 2400 rounds of ammo and 48#s of powder
before the end of the year it will be more in PROTEST of our leaders.
I do not need any more than I already had.

If Hillary wins in November we will see another wave of panic buying. How does the industry gear up for another wave of " potential" panic buying that may of not happen.
For the gun industry to prepare for a buying spree takes months of production planing, buying raw material, and importantly $$ investment in increasing production.
For a manufacturer just to watch the polling between Trump and Hillary is not enough info to prepare for a 4th quarter
buying spree that may or may not come.
My guess most will stay the production course planned since the beginning of the year.

We've seen a strong sales year. We've done some things to inhibit growth, but the NICS numbers don't lie. Gun sales are up everywhere.
if anybody in the business hasn't seen a summer spike in handguns and AR's, they don't have the right product or the right price. In May, June and July we sold in excess of 1100 Smith and Wesson Sport II's. The Smith programs were running and we were able to sell the rifles below normal wholesale.
Programs are over now, so prices go back to normal. Demand will far exceed supply in the 4th quarter and the manufacturers know this. They're producing all they can while it lasts.
I don't see this as long term health for the business.. When consumers buy whatever the manufacturer decides to put on the shelf, quality is compromised and it prohibits product innovation.
We all know what's going to happen until the election. It's the post election that interests me. I'm spending money preparing for the blitz, but I'm not spend friviously either.
After Trump wins, you'll see deals like never before in the industry. The immediate threat will be gone and inventory levels will be at all time highs. 2017 will be a buyers market.
Until he's sworn in, you'll see panic buying at higher levels than we witnessed in 2013.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
