I travel all over middle and eastern Tennessee and have noticed several small town gun shops going out of business or only open a couple days a week. I enquired and what came to light is the owners and the current ammo issues. They said they can get the guns easier now but still can't get ammo. One guy said he needed a full time job to pay the bills and was just selling ammo online now when it comes in and selling guns on the weekend. This is 5 smaller shops I've seen go under in the past two months.
i talked to the owner of a larger online retailer who closed down for a few weeks due to the ammo shortage. He just couldn't keep staff there while waiting for ammo to maybe show up. My question is, is this planned? Makes perfect sense strategically. Big city gun shops can possibly stay in business but the little guys can't! If I were trying to destroy the gun culture and ammo markets this is one option. I'm not a conspiracy guy at all but this had me thinking....
