They fear he will push for more gun laws or higher gun and ammunition taxes. Jim Douglas owns and op- erates J and J Guns at the shooting complex. “All manufacturers say they are running a maximum out- put,” Douglas said. “All sizes of ammunition are affected, with .22 shells especially hard to keep on hand.” Douglas said he got in 25,000 rounds of ammunition last Thursday, and it was all sold by Saturday.
