in 2020 up from 638.495 in 2019. That is just new guns
that require a FBI check. Haven't seen any ammo in at least 6 months.

2. For months I was in Barney Fife territory as far as ammo is concerned.

I had 6 rounds in my revolver and 6 rounds in each of my two speed strips until early last summer when I managed to get 2 boxes of 50 rounds each.

Because ammo is so scarce, I don't live fire and restrict myself to dry fire practice with dummy rounds.

3. Do you know what the explanation is for the lack of ammo? Is it people just

stockpiling? Someone told me it was a shortage of primers for some reason. They can't blame Obama or Biden.

5. Millions of new gun owners buying ammo, others stockpiling and COVID19 impacting manufacuring

are the reasons I've read.

7. That's what I like optimism. All these gun sales were when Republicans controlled

the Senate, the SCOUS and the Presidency and they reasonably expected to hold the Presidency one way or the other. This should really be a good year for gun sales.

9. Covid-19. People were worried about riots.

And then as the year wore on and Trump's chances of winning dipped into the toilet, the "stolen election, fight for Trump" mentality (illness, really) kicked in, plus fear of gun control legislation under Democrats.
