    Gun sales in Virginia are through the roof

    Highly doubt Virginia is the only state experiencing this. I went to the store mentioned in this article recently. It was a 2 hour way just to get to the gun counter and another hour to the background check counter. I wasn't buying that day so I didn't wait but it's definitely no surprise, given what's going on, that people are starting to value 2A more.

    Gun sales in Virginia are through the roof, first driven by politics, then the pandemic and now the protests https://www.fredericksburg.com/busin...8834f47da.html

    Nothing wrong with that except for those sales that go to untrained people who don't know how to handle, shoot, maintain, or safely secure a firearm.

    And body bags.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Ammo has also been more of an complaint than the guns itself, in my area. I haven't had the need to look for more.

    Same way here. I think were only about 170 miles apart. Don't you live in Lexington?

    Everybody is untrained... until they aren't.

    I can't tell you how many times "trained" people on the range have scared the $#@! out of me. There is "training" and then there is "TRAINING".
