Economic indicators currently escalating show a lot of pushback on the idea of a glut of cheap guns on the market. When things seem to be getting worse, people buy guns.
1) Inflation, with $4 a gallon gas rumored before the end of the year.
2) Loss of rental amnesty.
3) Physical donations to thrifts and chariities show a significant downturn
4) Form 4999, which if approved forces a few million AR15 pistol owners to buy parts to make them legal.
Some may sell their firearm to finance short term cash needs, however, in the long run, and it's already been a year, cell phone plans, insurance, and health care that can be put off are what get the axe. You can eat with 4 missing crowns, avoid optional surgery, get a pay as you go phone, and drive like you don't have insurance, or gas money, because, you don't. The last two save over $200 + a month. No work, no health insurance yet hospitals won't turn you away.
And yet the businesses and stockholders taking it in the shorts are cowed by the current social system and won't say a thing. This has already affected tens of thousands of small business owners while the big boxes are getting the benefit. Do you see the trend? The rich get riicher, the poor are getting poorer.
Keep in mind our opponents are happy to win and rule over a pile of ashes. Whatever it takes.
