While it it true that a NICS check does not necessarily mean a gun sale, it is interesting to note that civilian ammo supplies for the more popular calibers are down to 10% of normal, so someone is planning on doing some shooting.
Somewhat more ominously, it was observed that at a gun show in PA where activity was frenzied, sales of the "burial tubes" favored by survivalists were noticeably lagging.

Perhaps you should clarify your statement. Civilian market ammo stocks are down TO 10% of normal, not down BY 10%. For every 100 rounds that would normally be available, there's only 10 rounds, not 90.
Yeah, could have been phrased a little better.
Billlll, I wouldn't take the reduced sales of 'burial tubes' in Pennsylvania as an indication of anything. The ground in NE is well frozen by now. The top 2 feet of soil are frozen solid with another 2 or 3 feet of snow on top. Burying anything in secret is difficult under these conditions.
