Now, Bullit, We All Know You Know..........

But just to clear the record,

It's all that Gun Stuff in Your Man Cave, Garage, Workshop, and Other Places That Wimmen Can't Come Into [Not That They Want To] that's Not Actually a Gun.

Everybody in Rio Linda knows that.

I'm going to call bs on at least one point. Smith was making a little over 400 of their Model 1 revolvers each day towards the end of the Model 1's life in the 1800s. One would think with today's technology they could crank more out. Only thing I can think of is they don't have enough materials like some other companies have stated. Speaking of not having enough materials, I need to go get some more scrap lead...

Just for a fun comment....

Gun industry spurred... growing sharply... making lots of money.

And look, no bail out, no printed money, etc.

Amazing!

I read that on another site. 1 BILLION rounds a week.....and still huge shortages? Amazing.

I do think it will get better once things settle down...and as disgusting as it is there won't be as much competition from our brothers in a half dozen states that are busy outlawing constitutional rights.
