Everyone is buying: the left, the right, the middle and the anarchists.

They have done one thing right for the economy again. All this garbage has been good for that industry. Shop where I go to shoot seems to finally be running low. When I walk through the place to go to the range it's always had a LOT of long guns on the walls. Noticed the last time I was there they were almost bare, could only see a few. I just hope some of these new buyers vote to keep the rights they still have left.

I ordered a rifle last week. The guy in front of me was # 4400 in the que. He said he had a CC and hoped it would help. I hope it did.

News reports like this may have something to do with it. The guy in the car was almost laughing at the LARPers and their sportsmansguide dot com tactical gear. And also when you don't have enough mags, carry two rifles instead

The point is people are buying guns and not paying for passports makes me think they plan on staying a while.

Early on the media and others tried to pin this chaos on Trump but then the democrats mayors, governors and senators all said, hold my beer. I'll lead the marches and give them cover on CNN.

Well, I helped contribute to the May numbers, perhaps I can contribute to the July numbers too...

Seems to me, many more Amerikans are understanding real protection is having a firearm available. Now they need to take a closer look at the games politicians are playing and vote the vermin out!!!

I have done my part to plug the system up the last 4 months, and will continue to do so as long as i'm still breathing! Phuck Rona, Celebrate freedom!

I expect we'll see brisk gun and ammo purchases as long as the "mostly peaceful protests" continue.
