Democrats, Republicans and even the National Rifle Association are calling for legislation to regulate or possibly ban the sale of bump stocks, a device making semi-automatic rifles function as automatic weapons. The Nevada man who authorities say killed 59 concertgoers and injured hundreds more while firing out of a Las Vegas hotel room reportedly used bump stocks on at least some of his weapons. Since the attack and subsequent calls for regulation, prices of bump stocks have more than tripled as demand has skyrocketed.
If you owned a gun shop, what would you do with your inventory of bump stocks in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting?
Raise the prices to make more profit.
Immediately take bump stocks off the shelves.
Continue to sell them at original prices.
