Went to the gun store today in Jax Florida. They were out.

There was a sign on the door that read "Only 1 box of ammo per gun sold".

The shelves were less than 10 percent full and what stock remained were low caliber, target, and smaller rifles. They had limited supplies of ammo that was tired out of site.

Do you know what it means when Jacksonville is out of guns? It means that there's a powder keg about to blow. It means that angry and scared people have way more than ever before.

If there is an RNC in Jax and Feds show up, it might get nasty and bloody.

Be safe out there.

I have noticed the ammo shelves around here have been rather thin for the last few months.

6. It's a well known fact that guns, not masks, are the best defense against covid-19.

It has been the norm for years. Our local stores were selling one box at a time even when we had an actual President. Even the large shop at the firing range was often out. I buy online, no sweat.

The Hamburg PA Cabelas has a massive gun section and it was almost completely cleaned out as of this weekend.

They didn't have any of the kayaks I wanted either
