The one-two punch of the Wuhan Coronavirus explosion, and the civil unrest of early 2020, led to an unprecedented growth in firearms ownership in America. All told, there were about two million firearms sold in the month of March 2020 alone. Between March and July, an additional three million were sold, with about half of those happening in the month of June.
Ammunition sales have similarly spiked, with record sales occurring on this website. However, gun owners don’t need a report to know that there has been a massive surge in demand for ammunition. They need only go down to their local gun store and see that all of the most common rounds are in short supply, sold out or being rationed at the point of sale.
But it’s not just guns and ammo. There has also been a significant increase in the number of Americans obtaining their concealed carry weapons permit and packing on a daily basis. Forbes magazine estimates that 20 million Americans are now carrying as part of their everyday life.

Those numbers don't take into account people like me who have thinned out our gun safes. Four of the guns I sold were to people who had never owned a gun. When inventories get back at the gun stores I plan on upgrading and getting a couple of bucket list weapons.

ReplyDeleteForbes? As a reliable source? Seriously?
I, being one of those older survivors, recall that there were more than 20 million, many more, carrying weapons, including firearms, years before the Forbes analysis.

ReplyDeleteFrom the article: " Under the law, the definitions of an assault weapon were as follows:
ReplyDeleteRifles:
Flash suppressors or barrels threaded for them
Pistol grips
Folding and telepathic stocks
Bayonet mounts
Grenade launchers"
Uh, where do I get one of them there "telepathic stocks"? Because that just sounds like a very worthwhile mod.
Who gives a fuck what those retards want, nobody I know is giving up anything no matter who wins.
