Buying Firearms

The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. There are about 393 million privately owned firearms in the US as of 2022 – or in other words, 120 guns for every 100 Americans! The United States boasts more guns per citizen than any other nation in the world.

Buying a Rifle

The word "rifle" originally referred to the pattern of grooves called ‘rifling’ cut into the inside of the barrel. Rifles are used in warfare, defensive operations, hunting and shooting sports. At Metro Pawn and Gun we stock a large variety of rifles, including bolt action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, sporting rifles and collectible or antique rifles.

The Second Amendment

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed..." - Thomas Jefferson

These carefully crafted words define the natural rights of American citizenry to self-defense and resistance to oppression, internal or external, and the civic duty to act in the defense of the state should that become necessary.

Old Firearms

We often hear old firearms referred to as ‘antique’ or ‘collectible,’ and these words are generally used to describe a firearm, including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system, manufactured in or before 1898. Such pieces are highly sought by collectors and shooters, and we come across some very interesting antique firearms at Metro Pawn & Gun. 

The Gradual Return of Ammunition

With stores being devoid of most ammunition for nearly an entire year now, many people are wondering when, if ever, we would see the shelves stocked again. While still very difficult to find, there is a slow trickle starting to make its way to some retailers. Nearly always accompanied by strict limits on the amount purchased and often behind the counter, the fact that there is any at all is promising. Perhaps there is a light at the ‘end of the barrel’…

Firearm and Ammunition Shortage

So what’s the deal with guns and ammo being so hard to find? In the past, even with administrations that were unfriendly to the 2nd Amendment, there has never been such a pronounced shortage of product in the firearms market as there is today. Why? The answer is two-fold: The pandemic and its collateral effects have stressed supply chain and manufacturing capacity, and demand has risen to unprecedented levels due to heightened social and political tension nationwide. A perfect storm – supply is depressed and demand is through the roof.

Guns & Ammo

Within just the first six months of 2020, approximately 19 million firearms have been sold. These are unprecedented numbers, and are a reflection of the concern that American citizens have for their safety and well-being. Amid the uncertainty brought about by the pandemic, further destabilization has been introduced in the form of riots, looting and other forms of lawless behavior around the country. As if it wasn’t enough that normal life as we know it has been turned upside down by health concerns related to COVID-19, we must now also look over our shoulders to ensure we do not become victims of violent criminals who have taken to disrupting peace and security with seeming impunity.

Gun Sales Surge

In May of this year, firearm sales surged nationwide, with an estimated 1.7 million guns sold in just one month, an increase of 80% as compared to May of last year! And being only a week into June, gun sales continue to increase with even greater velocity.
