    I believe Gunopalypse 2K16 has arrived early

    The Gunopalypse panic of 2K16 that I was expecting a couple months before the presidential election may have arrived early...

    SGAmmo.com - "SHIPPING DELAY DUE TO HIGH DEMAND"
    Brownells.com - Won't load for me

    Most everywhere else still seems good to go as of this post. Local Wal-Mart is still fully stocked. I'm hoping we don't have a repeat of Gunopalypse 2K12, but it is still too early to tell yet.

    If you all notice any depleted stock, shipping delays, or stripped-out gun stores, please share your findings.

    I'm good on ammo, and just ordered a cz 455 with threaded barrel this morning, I'm not worried about accessories but I will be ordering some magpul sr-25 mags today.

    Not too worried about .22LR as I have about 24K here, plus more ammo than I'll ever be able to shoot in other calibers I have. Still, I, usually, buy at least one box of ammo, or shot shells, whenever I go to Wally World.

    Haven't really noticed anything out the ordinary here, so far.

    Have family and friends asking me about new purchases that they are saying is because they expect this current government to infringe even more on our rights.

    I've been reading quite a few reports of [online] businesses upping their ammo prices as of today. Oh, and stripped AR lowers are selling pretty well right now.

    TV news interviewed a gun store owner who said he was selling more AR-15s per hour than he normally did in a single day!

    Same news story cried about over 8 million AR-15s in the hands of honest people.

    Seeing ammoman raising prices on ammo in advance of Gunopalypse makes it guaranteed I will shop elsewhere.

    I knew it would happen. As bad as it might be in a day or two if Hildabeast wins or Bernie you haven't seen anything yet.

    Great. I need Scorpion mags, AR-10 mags, M1-A mags, .308, and more 9mm target loads, and I'm basically broke for now.

    Fucking douchebag anti-gun statist fucktards have had me PISSED the last two days.

    I swear if it weren't for the non-aggression policy, I'd support a Pinochet to start handing out free one-way helicopter rides.

    I looked at Lucky Gunner last night and didn't see any rise in prices or any notes about increased demand. Hopefully people will be about "panic-buying" out after the last 7 years.

    So I did the same thing. Started to look at the sites that sell ammo and such. Not really anything I saw to suggest a big price increase anywhere. People are just buying up the inventory right now.

    With all these tragedies added up, I wonder how much ammo, mags, guns and accessories are hoarded away right now.

    Yep.

    Even when I say I "need" something, what I mean is that I need for my hobby, not to actually arm myself.

    Was at Wally World today and I saw two guys buying the last 5 boxes of .22 LR-333 boxes they had. Checked the other ammo and their shelves are still full and their prices haven't gone up. No changes here, so far.
