I think the post-election gun frenzy is showing signs of abating. Talking with lots of people and reading posts from others around the country and they’re seemingly in agreement.
For instance, I stopped by GT Distributors yesterday. They have a showroom in Austin, and this was the first time I’ve been there (neat place). No problem getting guns. In fact, they had a lot of AR’s up on the walls at pre-election prices. I saw some M1A’s that were still a bit on the pricey side, but not as bad as things have been.
Ammo is around, but like most stores they’re restricting quantity purchases. But that means at least you can get some ammo. And prices weren’t too ridiculous.
I think things are getting better, but it’s still going to take some time.
My sincere hope? For all those people that opted to rush out and stockpile, now that you’ve got so much ammo? Go shoot it. Sign up for training, learn how to use the stuff you hoarded so it doesn’t just sit and rot (or at least store it well).
If anyone wants to get me a birthday or Christmas present, a gift card from GT would be great! 🙂
