Thread: 7 million new shooters since march.

I lived in Missouri for 3 years and it’s bizarre. Democrat government - buy more guns and ammo. Trade difficulties with China - buy more guns and ammo, Covid - buy more guns and ammo.

It’s an incredibly paranoid society. To illustrate the point, I worked with a very nice bloke over there who owned 16 rifles, pistols and shotguns. He had 5000 rounds per weapon and had been buying his stash for years. He was mostly concerned about the government coming for his guns, but Russian and Chinese invasion, home invasion and zombies were all on his mind. The NRA stokes these insecurities, but it’s in the national psyche.

What it means is that every time almost anything significant happens they buy guns, ammo and components. That means there’s nothing left for the rest of us. That then causes stockpiling when anything does reach us, which makes it worse still.
