GUN SALESMAN SAYS THE "NEWLY-WOKE" BUYING LIKE CRAZY! DON'T BLAME RED NECKS & GUN NUTS FOR AMMO SHORTAGES!

Guns and ammo demand has spiked through 2020 to an unprecedented level. It's the red necks and gun nut clan right? Nope ... wrong answer.
Funny ... the force behind this demand doesn't fulfill the media's fantasy. We've (fellow certified "gun nuts") had our stockpiles for a decade, during the Obama scares we fortified, and we tripled-down when there was a chance that SHE (HRC) would reign darkness upon us all. We're good ... so ....WHO then?
To Mr. & Mrs. Average Gunowner with several firearms already under their roofs: This isn't about us folks ... its everyone else! By that I mean a frenzy that includes millions new to the firearms family from the "omg I never considered adopting a firearm" crowd ... They never considered adoption (buying a gun---Ed.) until the fury of 2020 projectile-vomited nails into their fragile misinformed bubble of reality, popping it like a tiny canned chick pea simultaneously bombarded with the prongs of 1000 forks.
It's not just a handful doing the adopting or in the hundreds...It's 135 THOUSAND newly-minted gun owners in NJ alone, and MILLIONS nationwide. And they're buying everything in sight, faster than it hits the shelves! Factories manufacturing all three popular platforms (rifle, pistol, and shotgun) are back-ordered and supply & demand rules the day. And it's all THEIR fault! And we LOVE & respect them for it. Welcome to the party! Welcome to all the "Woke"! Don't worry...eventually production will catch-up. Not just yet though...
Now shocked out of a state of oblivious nonchalant and facing the reality that government isn't their true savior and protector, they first experience fear as their realization solidifies. They storm the firearms adoption centers in-mass on a daily basis to pickup every gun and morsel of ammo that can be found.
Empowerment comes when they wrap one hand around a pistol grip and the other snugly supports the muzzle of their once nemesis "angry Black Rifle", the much-hated AR-15. Enlightenment brightens them as the take steps to secure their own safety and protect self and family and community.
This bolsters self actualization and one "adoption" turns to three to quickly a half dozen or more new family members. It's not just dads, its moms and kids and grandma and grandpa and aunts and uncles and cousins. Families as a unit of all shapes and sizes and colors and textures are gathering to learn and train and suddenly find a new hobby and wholesome lifestyle. ARMED TO THE TEETH!
Its not the gun nuts folks ... its the better portion of the American population stepping-up and waking up. So if its not us that means its all of you! You are now the among the we. One of us! You are a newly-minted gun nut; welcome to the family.
Now we (firearms salespeople) ask just a few things. First stop coming in and talking all tactical to us. Please ... stop ... you sound like a virgin trying to describe an orgasm. Ask your questions and we will give you answers. We'll tell you how to take your new adoption home, and show you which way the bullets go in, but for God's sake, please take classes! Train ... yourself, your spouse and your kids. Knowledge is safety!
And finally please remember ... We The People are the Republic and We The People aren't one another's enemy. Liberty and justice for all comes from an equal society ... that would be an armed society ... which is not only a polite society, but one that is free of oppression and tyranny. And RIOTS and other civil unrest.
Hopefully these new firearms families further awaken and vote for the preservation of our great representative republic and to secure (restore in NJ) our Constitutional RIGHTS.

He's written for us in the past on many issues that stimulate his grey matter, with such things as "MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS", covering the gun-grabbers idiocy by showing historical facts & analysis. Like the .38 Special revolver is "Military Grade" since it adopted by the War Dept. and served in two World Wars! We hope you enjoy his analysis and unique entertaining wit.
