Once again - gun sales are way up - ammunition sales are through the roof - we are back to shortages of ammo (due to sales - it's not from some conspiracy theory of "gubbermint intrusion" or anything of the sort).
Say what you like about hating Trump and Republicans - but for you "quit flooding the market with guns" types --- you really need to reconsider voting for Democrats.
It just makes people crazy and they go out and buy guns and ammo when the ( D )s win.....
I’m sure that’s true - fear and low information have always been powerful marketing tools to convince people to buy more of what they already have too much of.

I guess you missed the tongue in cheek

To clarify.
Nobody is marketing fear - at least not that I have seen.
When you see the shelves cleared off on a gunshop' s shelf - it's not marketing genius by the marketing department of Smith and Wesson or Federal Ammunition. It' s because many right leaning gun owners have listened to the left leaners who want to stick huge taxes on guns and ammo - or outlaw types of guns. Of course this is not the entire left - but a portion of it - and those people on the right pay attention.
When you get some nutter like Diane Feinstein who wants to outlaw handguns (she did while Mayor of San Francisco in the mid 80's) the right pays heed. She is forever labeled the enemy. ANYTHING she now does is suspect.
No.. It's not fear or disinformation - it's long memories.
