I find that implausible. How could they surge from current levels, particularly given current supplies?
My first thought too - how could it get any worse?
“I find that implausible. How could they surge from current levels, particularly given current supplies?”
Agree, particularly ammo. Store shelves are already bare of ammo. Guns; you can find guns on the shelf. However, prices which had started to tilt down immediately after the gun bill failed, have taken off again.

The reporter is probably just clueless about what has been going on since November and December. Heck, here’s a “news” item from last week from CBS Miami:
Gun Stores Seeing A Run On Ammunition

Obviously there’s nothing new about that story, they are months behind the curve.
I think the reporters of this story are in the same boat. They saw the Marathon Bombings, saw the big lines that have been the norm for the last few months, and made an inaccurate connection.
After all the panic is over, wait about 6 months and the prices of everything will be back to normal or lower (I am thinking a lot lower).
I’m wondering if attendance at ranges is way down. No supplies......no activity. At least that’s my theory.
Something’s wrong with this story...
Bump!
My exact thought, where did they find anything to buy? High end hunting long guns and ammo are all that is left on the shelf.
Correct, how can there be a surge of something that is non-existent?
