The evidence is a little more than anecdotal. I’ve checked on gun sales in 4 (admittedly red) states and guns and ammo are selling at a much higher rate than previously. Patriots are jittery over Obama and the infamous Executive Order. I ordered more ammo as soon as I started believing the polls.
Picked up 1000 rounds for my AK tonight, next paycheck going to pick up another 1000 rounds and every paycheck after that till January 21st.
Those that just now bought firearms are a little late to the game and are probably not proficient with what they bought. Those that just ordered extra ammunition and did not need to buy new firearms, understand what the game is.
I read a report from another site I frequent, a gun show in Texas. One of the gun show vendors brought a tractor-trailer of ammunition, (which would be 20 or 40 pallets depending on weight and if the pallets can be stacked) - and sold out before the end of the show.
