I went to a gun show yesterday, the same show I go to every year. This time it was very different.
first: I had to wait in line for 30 min. just to buy a ticket.
second: the doors don't open until 9:00am and people had been lined up since before 8:00am
third: the ammo booth which was a 20 foot b 30 foot rectangle was shoulder to shoulder and 6 people deep trying to buy ammo. People were buying 5000 rounds or more. They were maxing out their credit cards! It was unbelievable.
forth: The NRA members council booth had over 600 people either join or renew memberships in just 3 hours!
Talking to people in line gave me this insight... they are unsure of what is coming(economically and politically). They don't trust this admisistration. They want to be able to protect themselves and their family if there is a collapse of society.
This is merely what I observed.
