Gun Control Reform Activism

For the last two years, gun shops couldn't keep product on the shelf at very inflated prices. The big on-line sellers showed most of their product as "out of stock." People stocked up based on the fear of Biden and Covid. (Civil war is coming you know!) The same buying panic happened when Obama was elected.

The next thing we will see is a big secondary market developing with people selling excess guns in order to pay off credit cards that they paid for them with. The secondary market, which in most states is unregulated, is the main source of weapons for people who are prohibited from buying guns from a licensed dealer; Most of the time it is a cash and carry deal with no questions asked, and in most places, perfectly legal for the seller.

The price of ammo has about doubled from pre-election days, and it still remains in short supply. A lot of folks feel that they are under-armed without ten thousand rounds stashed. Gun panics are wonderful for gun and ammo makers, but sooner or later, like all panics they grind to a halt.
