As an industry insider, all our data (and all the water cooler talk from others in the industry) indicate that there will be a huge increase in ammo and gun sales after this election, regardless of the results.
We have over a half million put into ammo orders (which we placed 4 months ago and still haven't received due to supply chain issues) and every time any ammo does come in, it sells out within a week. It sells for 3x what it is normally worth too. Some boxes of 9mm are going for $2/round retail. It's unheard of for us. 300BO sells out the day we get it. (We've got bulk 9mm and .223 coming in soon. I'll post here to give you guys a chance to get your feet on them before the crowds.)
I am actually in charge of collecting and analyzing data points for my company, so let me fill you in on the most interesting and relevant thing I've found so far.
Every election cycle generates gun/ammo sales. Without fail, whenever "election" becomes a common topic in the social zeitgeist, 2 weeks later demand for firearms and ammo spikes. This phenomena has increased to new levels under the Trump presidency. You can plug "election" and "firearms, guns, ammo, security, etc" into Google Trends and see this for yourself.
If Trump wins sales will skyrocket due to the fear of the Left's reaction, and/or the actual reaction they have. Regardless of whether or not they go through with their threats, people will buy in preparation/anticipation of them rioting.
If Biden wins, everyone is going to rush to get whatever they can. Honestly, a Biden win will drive more sales then a Trump win. Biden is openly stating he will pursue restrictions and stricter gun laws. Not to mention, this election is (more than any before it) a bellwether for the direction we are heading as a society. If he wins, then we should expect more restrictions, more infringement of our rights, and a greater degree of communist infiltration into our Government. The lefties who want this wont be buying as much, but people like us (and anyone sensible generally) will be loading up more than ever.
Buy anything you can now guys. Scarcity is coming.
![[Discussion] How bad do ya'll think things are going to get this November if Trump wins? Is it gonna be BLM riots times 100 or what? Will we see spill-over to the suburbs/more rural areas?](https://media.weekendgunnit.win/post/K4gIaC7X.jpeg){kind=link}
