Didn't some moronnot long ago profess that in times like this, folks like us like to cling to our guns and religion???

All joking aside, I've noticed the same thing, even here in Michigan where we have over 10% unemployment. I think you have alot of people selling guns because they need the money, while demand is higher than normal due to fears about the new administration.

Gun shows are also a fun and inexpensive way (well, as long as you don't buy too much)... to spend an afternoon with friends and family. People may not go on weekned hunting, fishing, or snowmobiling trip, but they will usually do something funnear home.

Memberships at our gun club are up quite a bit this year. A family can have have a lot of fun plinking with a .22 at the range, or shooting a line of trap or skeet, instead of spending hundredsof dollars at an indoor water park.
