   Yes, the sales were legal. California, in enacting a ban on a certain class   
   of weapons, caused many California citizens to drive out to Phoenix to   
   purchase soon to be banned rifles. I'll make the rash assumption that a   
   number of the purchasers didn't feel a burning need for a SKS until the   
   state told them they couldn't have one. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own   
   attitude.
