I hope you're right about it blowing over. I was going to purchase a new bushmaster AR for $600 around thanksgiving. But the store was out and i was waiting for them to get more in, and the this happened. Now you cant find one in a store around here. All the ones i've seen for auctions are going for $1500 and up. I should have went ahead a bought another one that was a little more money, but still lower than $1000.
