They literally can’t build guns or make ammo fast enough.

Need ammo for all those guns, and I'm sure the Biteme admin will be doing everything they can to create shortages.

Hopefully a whole bunch of those new gun owners are Liberals, so they can help fight H.R. 127.

Doesn’t sound like people are preparing to pay fees, get psych exams, pay exorbitant taxes or otherwise surrender their arms.

I went to the store today. There was plenty of ammo on the shelf. 6MM Creedmoor. No less and No Moore.
Now I think of it, that same ammo was there three months ago.

Assuming the poop doesn’t hit the fan, there could be one hell of a buyer’s market in the not-too-distant future.

Creedmore was the cartridge that all the gun writers were promoting last year as the future of the AR platform. The army was considering converting to it yada yada. Similar buzz for .300 Blackout. All of the YouTubes of guys showing off their Creedmore and Blackout ARs.

“6MM Creedmoor”

I believe you mean 6.5mm.

Rifles in 6.5mm Creedmore is about all that has been available around my area. They must have been really cranking those out. I’ve been trying to get my hands on 30.06 for a gift in a few months but didn’t find what I want yet.

Not only did Obiden get more votes than Obama, he overtook him as the #1 gun salesman.
