Here is an interesting article from the "Connecticut Business Journal"

I guess that I am not the only one concerned about my ability to protect my family, and who is in the market for some more "fire power"

1M gun orders swamp CT’s Sturm, Ruger

Today

With barely a week left in the first quarter, Fairfield gunmaker Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. says it has gotten more than a million wholesale orders for new weapons, so many that it has stopped accepting orders, authorities say.
Chief Executive Officer Michael O. Fifer said Sturm Ruger's retail program offered from Jan. 1 to Feb. 29 was way more successful in drumming up orders both from retailers and independent firearms wholesalers.
But, Fifer said, despite its best efforts, the gunmaker is unable to keep up with demand, so it is suspending any more orders until it can catch up sometime in late May.
