Brownells Sells 3.5 Years’ Worth of Magazines in 72 hours

In the face of possible legislation to restrict and possibly ban firearms and magazines over a certain capacity, waves of panic buyers have stripped shelves to the paint, at both retail and online gun stores.
A combination of demand and gouging has caused prices for rifle magazines and rifles, parts and accessories to more than double, with some vendors selling goods at five times what the average rate was just a few weeks ago.
Many online companies are selling magazines faster than their systems can handle, accepting orders for stock they don’t have and running out of stock mid-transaction.
I bought 2 ruger brand bx-25 25 round magazines. They are only for .22 caliber, but you never know what they will ban. Can always sell them for more than I paid for them.
