This has been a very rough year for gun merchants. Last year they probably had 15 employees, all working overtime to meet the demand. This year they were probably down to husband and wife.
There's a local mom n' pop gun store near me that invested heavily in AR's. Last year they were selling 8 a day, this year one a month. Luckily for them, being out in the country, they sell a lot of deer hunting equipment like scopes, clothing, ammo, and stands.
I also like Damascus GS. That's a shame.
