No ammo.

Limited supply.

If you wanted a bang stick you probably have five by now.

[SJSAMPLE]

You mean in January, THE MONTH AFTER CHRISTMAS, when people are more concerned with paying their bills instead of purchases?

[laplata]

Most people are stocked up and don’t need another gun.

[dforest]

In our new RAT world you no longer have to buy guns or other things, you just steal them.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Guns and SUVs are the cause of all of the world’s problems. Not criminals or drunk drivers, just the tools they use.

“Gun violence”. A most woke and commie term and used universally by our enemies within.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Just a little bump. Most Americans spent all their money over the holidays stocking up on toilet paper. Sales will be picking up again over “president’s day” and black “history” month.

Actually, ammo has gotten a lot more plentiful and cheaper. But I bought to much when it was top dollar (during the pandemic) that I don’t feel like I need any now.

[rktman]

Guns? What guns?

[Seruzawa]

“That means the 2022 number was only 60% of the figure for
2021. That was the lowest January total since 2019.”

So in other words most of the people who want them have gotten them already.

“US Gun Sales Collapsed Last Month”

That’s only because I’ve been getting such great deals from “Azfaar’s Afghan Gun Bazaar” that sells all the surplus US arms Biden left behind.

[Skwor]

From the artical:
“Inexplicably, gun sales collapsed in January, compared to January last year. The 2022 figure is at 2,591,588, compared to last year’s 4,317,804. That means the 2022 number was only 60% of the figure for 2021. That was the lowest January total since 2019.”

I would hardly call 2+ million a collapse, especially since it still beats the 2019 January numbers.

It is like everything they write is crafted for maximum propaganda, it gets tiresome.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Because people have gunned up to the saturation point.

"Most people are stocked up and don’t need another gun."

I need a couple more. The ones I have are not well suited to CCW. Given that Texas has now instituted "Constitutional Carry"....

[PeterPrinciple]

Among them is the violence in American cities during protests. Another is the fear that people might have to protect their property during the pandemic, even if this is absurd.

One reason is absurd, the other is not.

[Republican in occupied CA]

I’ve got what I need.

Now if Ammo would come down in price.

[bert]

It’s like My Pillow...... sale saturation

[READINABLUESTATE]

I’m guessing the drop in sales is directly related to the rise of inflation. Fill up the car or buy a new gun.....Hmmm.

[laplata]

I’m sure you’ll acquire what you need.

[Fightin Whitey]

Another is the fear that people might have to protect their property* during the pandemic, even if this is absurd.

Substitute LIBERTY for property.

Let's just see how liddle Dougey is faring in a year.
