How many Standard Mags Do You think were sold in total?

[randir14]

Have you noticed how the Left and the MSM have been silent lately regarding all this ?

No outcry, outrage or protests... something is afoot here...

Probably because nobody really cares. I bet it would've been a big deal if it happened soon after a mass shooting.

I'm just worried about the canoe I need to get down the street now. This scary time of high capacity automatic ghost clips has caused blood to fill the streets. Just one high capacity automatic ghost clip turns a regular rifle into a 200 clips per second shots military weapon of war!

Some of you are being very generous with your fantasies, or very creative with your poetic license.

Try to be conservative? Actually, try to be wild with your guesses, but base it in reality, and you come up with a number somewhere around 250,000 sold.

The vote against Prop-63 in the first place couldn't scare up a significant vote against it, and that would have included non-gun owners anyway.

And when it came time to signing a petition to fight it and several other bad guns bills, those supposed 800,000 gun owners on the "conservative" spectrum couldn't muster more than 150,000 signatures, and that went on for months. So on short notice, at best, awareness of this lift of the mag ban would have only reached bout 50,000 gun owners.

Another way to quantify that 50,000?

In reality, there were only about 22,600 active members here on Calguns prior to the news of the mag-ban overturn. By today, it was about 24,700. So we added only about 2,100 active members, not counting maybe a few thousand of those who are duplicate accounts and shills.

Now account for another 25,000 or so "actively in the know" gun owners or even passive sots that got wind of it, lucky to have learned of this recent ruling who are not Calguns.net members, and you get roughly only 50,000 buyers.

Take your average of 5 mags per buyer, which makes sense, because not everyone showed up to the party on time or bought as many, nor would have if they were outfitted from pre-2000 and hundreds of re-build kits due to that long window of time, and you get about 250,000 magazines sold, which in all realistic consideration toward awareness, the numbers seen on other issues, the apathy of gun owners, the depleted inventories as retailers were caught off guard, and as noted above that many were late to the game - and that 250,000 is a much more likely number of those sold in CA.

That's an honest number.

I would bet some, if not the majority of those gun owners, were only learning of the temporary buying allowance today, which left them no amount of time to act.

250,000 mags sold seems more like a real number.

.

"Take your average of 5 mags per buyer"

LOL, more like a minimum of 5 mags PER gun.
Rebuild kits sold for a short time period. They got assembled.
10/30s sold for the past 15+ yrs. They got unriveted.

20,000 Calgun members have friends and family that don't waste their time on Calguns, forums, FB. But they all talk. Word of mouth. Mass emails. People getting tons of "Will Now Ship to CA" emails from multiple online vendors.

I wouldnt be surprised if a million got sold. And that's being conservative.

Report from gun store

I dropped by a local gun store today and asked the question. I was told over 2,600 were sold on the 5th alone. Multiply that by the number of gun stores and you get the idea. A lot.
