If you're needing ammo, and have a deal in front of you, it might be a good time to pick some up until this settles back down.

I wouldn't be too quick to connect increased ammo sales to the Coronavirus..
could easily be related to the weather (Spring coming soon) & getting ready for more outdoor shooting,
or even the Democratic media blitz for their candidate selection..
most candidates mentioning what they have done / will do, when elected to stop firearm violence..
as if whatever they want will happen, or have any effect on what they promise.

Point taken. Message still stands however. If someone needs some, they might get some.

Cheap prices of LEO turn-in 40 cal pistols didn't hurt the increase of 40 cal ammo either.
