Bifurcated is a great word. The last time I heard it we were discussing possums.
My local shops have basically turned into transfer hubs. I am currently in CA and our pool of available guns is already limited. With the BLM/Antifa riots and COVID, most have been sold out for months. Due to the already limited choices, everything is selling high. Most of the guns now are coming in state off GunBroker or other online auction sites.
I'm headed to a free state next month and can't wait to hit the local shops. It will be interesting to see what is going on over there.
