Probably 95% of those sales are NOT progs.

And they are throwing lit matches at a bucket full war-gas?

Again, prog is a mental illness.

That's because you can't shoot a long gun sideways...

So far the first silver lining from the riots is that Gun Grabbing has been dealt a massive - probably fatal - blow.

The second will be the backlash against the riots and the obvious ridiculous excesses of the cultural marxists in November.

My local gun store is out of everything. I’m back ordered on a home protection shotgun. Hopefully it will be in in the next couple of weeks. If you want a Remington or Mossberg, you are out of luck. Nobody has them.

They have no 9mm pistols, no semi automatic .45’s. They have some long rifles but no short barrel shotguns. They have lots of .22 rifles.

While I was ordering my shotgun, at least 3 new gun buying customers came in the store.

Virginia is getting a triple whammy. Covid fears, the race riots and the new anti-gun laws, expanded background checks and mandatory reporting lost or stolen firearms, go into effect July 1st.

Firearms are one thing; having the ammunition to feed them another.

I bought a Ruger in April.

Staff told me BG check would be done in 15 minutes. Waited and waited. Finally staff told me they would call me when it went through. Eventually 6 hours later and multiple crashes it finally went through and I went to pick it up.

They had no ammo for it which they told me upfront. Had to go to 3 different stores.

I’ve been looking to buy a Mossberg 590A1.

I picked a bad time to be looking for a bargain. I can’t even find and over-priced one!

People griping today about hardware and ammunition shortages obviously failed to learn from history. All ammo flavors have been abundant for years. Y’all shoulda stocked up then. Same with all varieties of bang sticks and semis.

And training. I’ve seen scared shitless seeing newbies handling their first handgun.
