They ran 14 NICS Background Checks in the last two hours open today. Gun sales here are surging even more than before.

Looked at several big online dealers today. Nearly all defense guns are out of stock. All 380, 9mm, 40 and 45 ammo is out of stock. Even 357 Sig and 10mm is getting hard to find. Ditto on 5.7x28 is out of stock most places. I figure rimfire is next.

My favorite shop only had 2 cases of .22lr

Almost half of buyers are first time gun owners.

Crazy! Most here are new to buying guns!

Hoping they will all get the idea of where all these stupid gun laws in commifornia are coming from! The sheeple here just don’t understand why you have to take a $25 test to buy the gun. (Good for 2 years I believe), a 39.00 background check and a 10+ day wait to get the check ran. A background check to get the ammo + a dollar for that. Oh, don’t forget only one handgun purchase in a 30 day period!

During the Obammy years, people panic bought because...

They thought "assault" guns might become illegal and everyone wanted one.

This time feels different. Seems most people are buying because they feel like they're going to need them.

Interesting times we live in...
