The Great Gun Sales Boom Of 2020-2021 Shows No End In Sight
19FortyFive ^ | 6/4/2021 | Peter Suciu

It may be too soon to suggest that the novel coronavirus pandemic is truly over, but life is returning to normal. As mask mandates and social distancing requirements are being relaxed, sporting events are seeing bigger crowds, people are packing airplanes and people are (begrudgingly) returning to the office. However, the pandemic drove the sales – even hoarding – of some products and that isn’t likely to change just yet.

As for firearms, the pandemic certainly created a buying spree, yet the return to “normal” hasn’t resulted in a sales slowdown. If anything sales of firearms has remained steady.

I wish I had the start up funds to create an ammunitions company.

There’s a long line right out to the street to buy firearms. Has been pretty steady ever since the “election.”

I stopped by my local outdoor shop yesterday randomly, mostly cause I wanted to be outraged at the empty ammo aisles,

Unfortunately that was not the case as the aisle was full and store workers were busy putting more on the shelf

this was after lunch. The worker kid said there were lines outside when they opened at 10.

Unfortunately they wanted $1.09 per round of 9mm.

I wandered and some lady was crying because she could not find little green Coleman propane cylinders. She said she had been to 14 stores, the employee said there was a huge shortage and was trying to help her with some rocket stove. I told her she could get a bbq cylinder and an adapter, or go to a hardware store and get a benz-o-matic cylinder.

“Ammo shortage is continuing”

90 days ago, 1,000 small rifle primers were selling for $375.
Yesterday, 1,000 small rifle primers were selling for $175.

Only private parties have them.

I have an empty box of 1,000 from a few years ago that’s marked $32.

Check your ammo.

Please also face the fact that “they” successfully attacked us with a gain of function virus (i.e. bioweapon) and the eugenist poison shot.

They did NOT need to take your guns.

for a little different twist- Airguns aint what they used to be-

ZEUS .72 CAL 1500 FPE—THE WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL MASS-PRODUCTION AIR RIFLE— AEA PRECISION AIRGUNS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwaqvHuHGuA

This is a beast- however, there’s an even more powerful one:

.82 CAL Air Gun and Helium Powered Air Rifles : American Airgunner TV

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajBT2V4_rrk&t=323s

All perfectly legal to own, no gun registration, no waiting period, no laws about conceal carry (for air pellet pistols) etc-) lots of choices from single shot to large clip guns, to full auto- can even order over the net, no laws preventing it apparently- none of the regulations imposed on traditional rifles- Can even pass them down without the government demanding you jump through hoops to do so- lots to like-

oh, and ammo is ‘fairly cheap’ and readily available for many calibers- once you get into the largest, ammo may be a bit harder to come by- but even .50 cal is popular and pretty inexpensive- if nothing else- they make for good target practice guns- but these things can take down even cape buffalo- they are serious hunting tools

Ammunition is the key - stores are out of stock; went to Cabela’s a few weeks ago and all their ammo shelves were empty. All of them.

I have trouble reconciling that the powers-that-be would devise a plan to kill off the most compliant of the herd, leaving the resistors armed, and with reason to destroy said powers.

Looks like the new makers of Core-Lokt are having trouble with the annealing process. My favorite hunting ammo. Glad I put in a supply long ago.

Just start a primer company and the world will beat a path to your door.
