Guns > AWB Sunset Hasn't Affected Sales Much
This Scripps article says the sunset of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban hasn't had many good effects for gun manufacturers and dealers. Manufacturers still have to produce two sets of guns: one for most states, and one for the states that have state-level laws prohibiting certain features.
Prices are still high on some pre-ban guns and high-capacity magazines.
I went shooting at Guncraft Sports last Friday, and asked them if they were seeing more sales. They had seen some interest, but most people wanted high normal capacity post-ban magazines, which they couldn't get yet. It's just been one week since the ban expired. I expect it will take a few quarters for production to ramp up and prices to settle down.
