'Arm up and get ready': Lara Trump says those on the border should prepare to take matters into their own hands while VP Harris is busy 'laughing off the crisis'
2021-06-13
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Lara Trump appeared on Fox News on Saturday night and suggested residents living along the southern border should 'arm up and get guns'

  • Former president Trump's daughter-in-law accused Vice President Kamala Harris of 'laughing off the crisis at the border'

  • Trump then suggested agents working for Border Patrol and ICE were 'being made a mockery of' with so many illegal immigrants crossing the border

  • In a message to those at the border she said: 'I don't know what you tell... I guess arm up and get ready. Maybe they will have to take matters into their own hands'

  • Data released on Thursday night says illegal crossings have risen 674% in a year, with 180 apprehensions in May, in levels not seen since 2006

#2  Good-ish news from American Rifleman from a week ago. Saturation may be approaching. Key paragraphs::

Gun Sales Decrease, Ammunition Reappearing In Stores

Firearm sales in May, at least those reflected in the number of FBI NICS checks performed for a transfer, came in at roughly 1.4 million, according to an estimated from Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting (SAAF). The figure represents a 0.3 million drop in purchases when compared to the same month in 2020.

The news doesn’t necessarily ease the concerns of longtime enthusiasts who are still struggling to find ammunition on the shelves or particular guns in FFL inventories. Demand for guns, ammo and gear is still at a scalding pace. “The May 2021 number of about 1.4 million firearms is the second monthly decline recorded in the first five months of 2021,” noted SAAF Chief Economist Jurgen Brauer. “Nonetheless, the overall firearms sales pace thus far this year clocks in at nearly 9.2 million units compared to 8.7 million units for January to May 2020.”

Some of the most popular cartridges are remaining in stock for short periods at other outlets, however. The purchasing manager at ammo retailer Wideners.com told AmericanRifleman.org last week that, “From what we’ve seen, manufacturers are able to deliver products within reasonable timelines. However, once we list the products online for sale, they are gone from our inventory very quickly. In recent weeks, we’ve been able to keep popular calibers like 9 mm, .223 Rem., and .45 ACP in stock for longer periods of time."
