Gun sales are down compared to last year, but high by historical levels.

Anyone tracking bulk ammunition sales?

I do note bulk ammunition prices have increased a lot over the past three years.

The amazing thing about it is that guns are "durable goods" meaning that if you purchase a gun, it's not something you'll need to replace in a year or two (unless you're really unlucky or really hard on your guns). Most gun owners hold onto a particular gun their entire life and pass it down to their heirs. So that means if ~20 million guns are being sold every year and that number is increasing not decreasing. Then the total pool of guns in private hands is increasing by that amount every year as well.

Must drive the gun grabbers crazy, they have to realize they would have an easier time banning and confiscating every ball point pen in America than every gun. No ban or confiscation scheme will ever make a dent in the hundreds of millions of guns in private hands.

My name will be among the stats for May 2024. A brand new H&R M16a1 nearly identical to the Vietnam era issue will be in my hands May 28th.
