This Week in Guns, August 4th, 2018
 By Chris Covert Rantburg.com Housekeeping Notes: Since last year I have tracked the totals of each firearm category in each state I follow to show how they are expanding. I used the following notation: Arizona (520, 3Q, 2017(+12))(520, 487), of which the first group of notations indicates the high since the third quarter of 2017, the number of times it has gone up since 2017, then this week's number and last week's number. I am going to change that starting next week with: Arizona (520, 487)(520), which will show this week's numbers, last week's numbers and then the all time high. I hope to reduce the confusion with these notations and reduce the clutter. For an explication on how very wealthy people want to disarm their subjects, I mean the citizens, you should read this. Loads. Rantburg's summary for arms and ammunition: Pistol ammunition prices were steady. Rifle ammunition prices were steady. Prices for used pistols were lower. Prices for used rifles were mixed. (August 4th, 2018) For the 12th week running, used AR-15 prices have averaged below $500.
