    That's TWO independent , simultaneous Gun Rushes .

    For most LGS , their Margins are frequently the same or less than normal times . Their wholesale cost have gone sky high if then can get any .

    My question is,,,, where the hell is all the ammo going? Private stocks must be amazing! Think about it,,, if you were an ammo manufacturer,, wouldn't you be running around the clock to TRY to keep up with demand? AND,, all that ammo is being gobbled up as fast as you can make it! The $$$$$ must be flooding in!

    Some people do inventory by counting, some do it by weighing. Two different levels of enough.

    Where is going: people are using it. Gun sales are WAY up and all those guns need food for practice. All those guns will need food for practice for a long time.

    On the supply end the scarcity appears to be primers. They cannot make them fast enough.

    I was in Bel Air gun range yesterday at lunch. In the 5 minutes I was inside there were 4 people that came in to practice with their new guns. All new owners by the sound of things.

    Times a million, literally:

    In a Sept. 2 call, Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings Inc CEO Jon Barker said the company estimated that 5 million people purchased firearms for the first time across the industry in the first seven months of the year, which matched a recent figure put out by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade group, based on a national survey of retailers.

    At our shop alone we are doing tons of transfers. Alot of exotics. Bullpup shotguns, Tavors, etc. And cleaning kits. But no ammo. As soon as receipts are handed over, they are asking us how to use them.

    Are these new owners conservatives that finally bought something, or democrats that are seeing the light? Hopefully both. Good to see new people join the community.

    But, I’m guessing many won’t even buy more than a box or two, and won’t practice much at all.

    Sounds like an opportunity.

    There's a lot of new gun owners out there, and they need ammo.

    The left is lying low because they know its bad to riot before the election -it drives people to Trump. Notice how quiet the ACB hearings were? That sound you are (not) hearing is the sound of the organization and money saying lie low for a while. It takes $$$ to riot, dont be fooled. Those trucks did not rent themselves.

    If Trump wins they will be back out in full force. If Trump loses they will be back out in full force. The purge starts Nov 4th.

    Defunding the police is going to happen regardless of who wins. Municipalities simply don't have the money and have to cut budgets.

    Ammo scarcity is with us for a long time.
