“Bottom line is that there has never been a sustained surge in firearm sales quite like what we are in the midst of,” the National Shooting Sports Foundation, 



Everybody is buying guns and ammo.

Sales, meanwhile, aren't just to the traditional customer base of white males. The report said that the surge is among others, especially blacks, Asians, and Hispanics.

“The highest overall firearm sales increase comes from black men and women who show a 58.2% increase in purchases during the first six months of 2020 versus the same period last year,” said the report.

Kind of makes one wonder the agenda of Dems that preach gun control and too many guns in our society yet they take a blind eye to the chaos going on in Dem controlled cities. WTF do they expect? They are truly the dumbass party of this country.

They have to protect themselves from all the white cops out there.

Good. Biden is running on a platform of gun control when everyone (especially minorities) just went out and bought guns.

Sales would be a lot higher if the supply was there

That's a whole lot of hi-point .380s.

We discussed this a few weeks back. I was trying to buy a couple hundred rounds of .40 cal S&W to just go to the range. I looked all over the internet and all I could find were the expensive hollow point rounds.

After searching for a couple of weeks, I found a place selling them. I tried to buy 1,000 rounds but all they had was 700, so I bought them all. I checked back a week later and they were still out.

A couple of weeks ago I took a plane flight. Going through TSA security there was a cute 20 year old girl in front of me and a cute 20 year old girl behind me. As our bags were going through the scanner machine, they suddenly stopped the conveyor belt and shut down the entrance and exit to the entire security area and called in reinforcements. They made the three of us sit there for over 10 minutes. We were all looking at each other suspiciously. I knew my bag was clean, but I just figured one of these sorority girls had a fancy new hair dryer or something and the security guy was being extra cautious to make sure it wasn't a bomb. I was about to ask the girls jokingly "did one of you try to bring your gun on the plane?" but I thought that would be a stupid thing to say, even jokingly, in a TSA hold.

Turns out one of the cute little girls DID have a loaded handgun in her purse. Said she had it for protection from the protests (we were still having minor riots) and that she forgot it was in there. Sooooo naive. She asked the police if they could just hold it for her until she got back. I was like, girl you are going to jail. They took her away in hadcuffs crying.

Idiot.

.45 ACP is getting harder and harder to come by. I bought 40 hollow point rounds and 30 rounds of 7.62x39 yesterday...70 fricking bucks. It’s getting out of hand.

Guy I work with forgot to take his gun out of his bag and went through TSA. $3k fine, 2 years probation, confiscated his gun for 6 months, and I think his CCL was suspended for a while as well. That shite ain't no joke.

This. I’ve tried to buy on several occasions but couldn’t find a decent gun in stock nor any ammunition. At the time, I figured, why buy the gun if I couldn’t buy the ammo? Guess I should have at least tried to get one when I could.

And then 6 months later walk back in and take your guns. And if conservatives engage them then the way they have the last five months, all the guns will be cleaned and laid out nicely for the confiscation.

Picked up a 1k rds .45acp fmj last wk online for $415, shipping included.

SGA ammo in Stillwater Oklahoma is probably the largest ammo supplier to the public.
When SGA is out of ammo... that tells me sales is out the roof.

About 15 years ago a guy I worked with had been on a hunting trip out west. Coming home through Atlanta the TSA discovered a hunting knife he had forgot about in his shaving kit. The guy had never been in trouble with the law his whole life but he spent two or three nights in jail before his daughter who was a lawyer in Atlanta could get him out. We started calling him a terrorist .

I could be wrong but I don’t think those buying guns are voting for Biden in large numbers.

I’ve been to the local gun store lately,
and was surprised by how many black individuals were buying guns. In the past, not so much.
