I expect ammo prices to also skyrocket. It's the good old sky falling routine that they always pull.

90% of these guys don't believe it, but they are happy to push the "Crooked Hillary is coming for your guns" routine to boost sales.

I was at a gun training course and instructor started pulling the same routine. I argued, much to his annoyance, that it made no sense to buy something if we truly believed that the government was going to confiscate it. Why invest in an item that would be, if you believed him, surely taken away. He moved on and still kept trying to convince people to buy stuff.

Bottom feeders. They do this every election cycle.

You'd think after the last eight years of non-stop "Obama is coming for your guns!" they'd stop falling for it. It's not even an election year thing: it's constant, steady, and appealing to what must be a group of people seriously lacking in the critical thinking skills department.

I've got guns but am not a hoarder or jumper. These morons are falling for marketing that stokes fear every year or so but never comes to fruition.

And the cases of ammo after Umpqua Community College, after Newtown, after Orlando, after Charleston, ..., after prompting from the gun manufacturers' lobbying organization, namely the NRA
