Guess the government should have “bailed out” arms and ammo manufacturers. LOL

That’s 4 times the population of the entire US of A. Something’s not right about this number. If it is accurate, how much of it was purchased by the Mexico cartels?

It would also mean an average of 4-5 guns per adult. That’s a dangerously high number - doesn’t signify a business as usual environment. I am against gun control so don’t get started on me. I am just worried about why so many Americans felt the need to stock up.

Sorry. I tried to buy more, but the stores were all out of my favorite calibers.

Libs should be THANKING gun/ammo purchasers for being pretty much the only segment of the populace doing its part to keep the economy afloat (by engaging in commerce).

Love it. You can be damn sure the feds are going to notice when someone correlates numbers.

Seems like a lot of ammo to me, but when you stop to think there are 50M households with guns, and if each bought only a box of a hundred, then that’s 5B. So I guess his numbers are reasonable.

I think my daughter is responsible for a lot of that ammo that was purchased.
And I have no problem with that.

The best defense is a good offense! NOTE: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

In just 3 months Americans bought enough guns to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian army’s combined.

The entire Chinese and Indian army's combined what?
