That number is for ammunition, not gun sales. The combined Indian and Chinese armies was the quantity reference for firearm sales - and those combined armies sure aren't four times the entire U.S. population.

Ammunition has been selling in bulk wherever people can find it. To reach 1.5 Billion rounds, that's just 1.5 Million people each buying a 1000-round case.

You're right, though - this certainly isn't business as usual. I'm more pleased with this than I am worried... this is the closest thing we have in the U.S. to a "no confidence" vote at the federal level.

I know folks that are buying ammo by the pallet load. That's about a quarter MILLION rounds of 5.56mm.

They're wealthy though. I could only afford a case for each caliber I own and a few cases of match grade for my long arm precision rifles.
