I just heard on Fox News that a man with an "assault" like riffle was shooting at the Federal court house in W. Virginia. Do you think that this will result in people going nuts and buying up all the ARs and making the price go up, again?

October 9, 2013 (WHEELING, W. Va.) -- The U.S. Marshals Service says a man with an assault-type rifle fired 15 to 20 shots at the federal courthouse in Wheeling. W.Va., before security officers returned fire, critically wounding the man.
Chief deputy Mike Claxton of the Marshals Service in northern West Virginia says one officer was hurt by shattered glass inside the courthouse during Wednesday's shooting but no other injuries were reported.
Claxton says the gunman was in a parking lot across from the courthouse downtown. He says officials are attempting to determine a motive.

I wonder if it's like the AR15 shotgun used at the Navy Yard.

Great - more fuel for the media and something to talk about instead of the Republican party.
