    COVID, et al and your buying habits

    I may send out a survey on this subject, but I thought I'd ask here first.

    How has COVID and the new gun ban affected your gun buying?

    Are you buying less/more?

    Buying different things?

    We have seen what is likly the biggest 1 2 punch against the industry in it's history.

    I'm buying less not due to COVID but due to the more dangerous OIC

    less of some things more of others.

    on a COMPLETELY unrelated topic... you need more bulk reloading stuff... projectiles... primers....

    And ammo... just saying.

    I have bought a ton of spare parts since 1 May 2020, but have held off on the "toys/cool stuff" category...

    I know the majority of my friends who have firearms licenses spending habits/planned purchases have not changed, they very rarely buy anything and the ban/covid hasn't motivated them to stock up on anything.

    But there is certainly 1 or 2 who are much more into shooting/hunting than the rest that have purchased an astronomical amount more. Essentially anything they can imagine needing over the next 10 years and everything they've kinda wanted but put off for whatever reason they've bought up, lol.

    I would be seriously surprised if covid/OIC did anything but massively increase sales overall, but then again with all the ranges closed people are probably not using ammo like before, but again, with rumours of bulk going prohib/becoming unavailable I know
    people are buying 10s of 1000s of rounds they wouldnt be buying otherwise

    Buying less guns, buying more parts, components, and ammo.

    Supply is a major issue
