As you might’ve heard, gun and ammo sales are through the roof right now, partially due to the 24/7 news coverage of the COVID-19 virus.
Internally we’ve seen ammo sales spike 276% across the board, with some states (seemingly the ones most affected by the virus) increasing more than 1000% from just a few weeks ago.
Caliber-wise, 40 Cal (S&W) sales are up the most which seems odd to me but as AWR Hawkins at Breitbart surmised it may be due to Asian-Americans increased concerns for safety.
