I stopped by the gun shop I used to work at - and it was pretty busy for early in the day.
I wanted some .223 brass as I had ppicked up some cheap bullets and thought I might spend a few warm days coming up sitting in the A/C in the garage and reloading some rounds. All they had was Lake City (military surplus - which I have plenty but dislike as the primer pockets are swaged and a pain to re-prime.)
I was talking to the owner who took time to say hi... I noted that business was good. His reply - he told me how much he had taken in - and it was astounding. Pretty near record sales three months in a row. Christmas in July.
But - for the most part the shelves are stocked. The manufacturers are working overtime to keep supply up with demand...
....
So all of you who hate guns and want to see them go away - sorry.... I don't think people are ready to join the flock of the unarmed..
Not just yet.
And for the "that's just anectdotal" crowd -

It seems the FBI is of the same opinion.
