    Gun sales surge 80% in May

    Gun sales surged in May as shops reported an uptick in interest and demand amid national protests after the Memorial Day killing of George Floyd and as the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc and stoke fear across the country.

    “Almost, you couldn’t even keep up with it. That’s how crazy it was,” said Joe Hawk, owner of Guns & Roses in New Jersey. “After Memorial Day, it spiked again. It just went crazy again.”


    Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting, a private research firm, estimated that more than 1.7 million guns were sold in May, an 80% jump from May 2019.

    At least the gun control debate is over for the foreseeable future. That's one silver lining from the riots.

    I plan another purchase.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    We have the government waging war on its people with the Coronavirus lockdown, criminalizing normalcy. We have police and rioters violently clashing in most cities in the country. I don't blame anyone for strapping up. Both the government and the general populace are not to be trusted, and are dangerous.

    The Gun Lobby is happy. They thought only Obama and Hillary could make people go out and buy that many guns.
