“I just left a sporting goods store and you would think that the number-one selling item would be plywood or potable water or gasoline right now,” he said. “Apparently it is AR-15s and .223 ammo. I watched at least 20 people buy AR-15s and cases of .223.”

You're 100% correct - the mayor and governor did nothing.

You can get a Korean "knock-off" of a AR-15 for about $650-700 at a gun show.

There are many other rifles that fire 5.56 x 45 NATO, you aren't limited to the AR-15.
