Very correct. I have a long rabbit hole I could go down with respect to firearms and why its so easy to get a gun in America.... but maybe this isn't the place for it. Just know that the online places where an AR-15 were only a few hundred bucks have easily tripled. A lot of people are preparing for the coming temper tantrums.

The gun store only a few clicks from me had bare shelves. No 556 or 223 AR-15 ammo at all.

I heard so much shit talking by Y'All Queda at gun shows right before the Clinton/Trump election about how "Obama iz gunna declare a state of uhmurguncy buhfor the elecshun and gunna take yer guns so stawk up now", but that's nothing compared to the rampant paranoia you see now.

People have taken to pressing their own ammo. Not a great thing to be doing if you're inexperienced.

To quote A Christmas Story: "You'll take your eye out with that thing"
