The Most Wanted Gun in America

THE phone rings again at Pasadena Pawn and Gun, and a familiar question comes down the line: “Got any ARs?”

The answer is no. Pasadena Pawn and Gun, a gun retailer and pawnshop 15 miles south of Baltimore, is pretty much sold out of America’s most wanted gun, the AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle. Since the massacre in Newtown, Conn., in December, the AR-15, the military-style weapon that the police say was used in the shootings, has been selling fast here and across the nation.

Before Newtown, the rifles sold for about $1,100, on average. Now some retailers charge twice that. At Pasadena Pawn, on the wall behind glass counters of handguns, are three dozen or so AR-15-style rifles. Dangling from nearly every one is a tag that says “Sold.”

The background checks in Maryland only went back 30 years until January 2013. Thus , Maryland is now working directly with the federal government and will go back as far as your birth. The government will decide if you can own a gun. I predict that 50% of these guns that have been purchased will be forfeited to the law. They are comming to get your guns if you have unpaid tickets or unpaid bills or any violation at all. You will be considered a risk!!!!!!!

There was an AR, but the gunman left it in the car. The police found it still in the trunk. He committed the shootings with handguns. Any excuse to scare us into stealing our guns. Let someome come to my house demanding my guns. lol

Old reports also 7:51, the media never has cared about that fact, just the constant propaganda on the need to take semi-automatic weapons away from the people.

Ar 15 is nice but I'm an AK guy myself.

The AR 15 was used in Newtown. Any reports to the contrary are false and being propogated by idiots like those on this blog. For christ sake just check it out for yourself.

Anyone owning one of these guns, in my opinion is up to no good. There's NO reason for ANYONE to own any type of assult rifle or high count clips. No reason at all unless you're up to no good.

The problem being idiots like 2:02 and 3:16 truly believe they are right when they are just ignorant of fact.

One more time for the libtards.
Over 32 thousand people were killed by motor vehicles last year. MANY of them children.
I expect to see EVERY progressive liberal walking or biking to work from now on after they support the car, truck and motorcycle ban!

An AR-15 or any other semi-automatic firearm is NOT, REPEAT NOT, an assault rifle.

What if the guy used a slingshot and ball bearings? You wanna ban all those too?

You want to punish everyone else because of a few nutjobs?

If anyone feels that strongly, do not own a firearm and homeschool your kids.

Take care of yourselves and leave the rest of us alone.
