U.S.—Many Americans, in anticipation of a $600 government-issued stimulus check, have treated themselves to a brand new gun. Now that President Trump is calling instead for $2000 checks, gun stores are struggling to keep up with customers returning their $600 guns and purchasing $2000 guns.
“I sure am glad I kept the receipt!” exclaimed local gun enthusiast Anthony Harb upgrading his firearm. “It’s time to treat myself to something truly special!”
The bill was originally intended to provide relief for those out of work and affected by the ongoing pandemic, but after the U.S. paid hundreds of millions to other countries, $2000 per American was all that was left. Since $2000 is not enough to cover 8 months of rent or other necessities, many Americans have decided that one thing they can afford is protection from the bloated and power-hungry Federal Government.
Several gun stores across the country have already issued statements that they are sold out of all guns at the $2000 price point. Buds Gun Shop & Range in Tennessee has even called for no returns on $600 guns, suggesting customers buy multiple guns instead.
“We may not know what the future holds, but at least now I won’t have to face it without my Daniel Defense M4V11,” added Mr. Harb at checkout.
At publishing time, despite no arrival of stimulus checks, President Donald J. Trump had already been named gun salesman of the year.
Of course a $2000 gun today cost $300 last year at this time.
You got that right.
That will cover the scope base and rings for the new chasis bolt action I put together.
Most responsible people bought their weapons years ago, and didn’t need a stimulus payment to buy it

And ammo.
Guns are useless without ammo, handguns, especially, make poor clubs.
Joe will shut down overseas shipments of cheap ammo on Day 1.
The drip of ammo now will turn to a barren desert.
Banning on-line sales of all ammo and reloading supplies will be Day 2.
Registration and licenses will be required to purchase any ammo, just like California today, the state will control all access to ammunition.
Only the rich will be able to continue shooting, the poors will be out of luck.
Yea verily
Went to the local gun shop today. I was SHOCKED at how bare the shelves were.
Like trying to find buttwipe last March, I tell ya....
Chicago shooters don’t seem to have an ammo shortage.
Drug money, the thug life never pays retail.
That’s why they need money.
Buy 2 more $600 guns and extra ammo.
Our local shop has a 9 mm Gatling gun for $5,000 so need a 5K check to buy it.
“Chicago shooters don’t seem to have an ammo shortage.”
20 people shot= 1 box of ammo, 15 shooters.
1 IDPA match and a practice, 3 boxes of ammo x 30 participants.
1 National Gallery match, 20 shooters, 12 boxes of 50.
Numbers are of course made up but I think the concept stands.
Link no work:

Can’t get ammo.
Right on.
Ammo too.
For those of you that are experiencing shortages of ammo in stores, you may want to consider reloading. You can actually have fun doing it. I’m including even casting your own bullets.
Handguns do make acceptable brass knuckles/warhammers though
Id rather use them than my hands
They will save your hands from a lot of damage
