IMO Covid coupled with politics is what has been driving the panic buying which continues to result in shortages. We (the shooting community as a whole) don't help the situation by panic buying either.
I'm baffled by the folks that wait until the bad times and then panic and try to stock up which drives prices up and supply down. During the good times is when I was buying and I'm sitting in pretty good shape during all this mess.
Yep, saw this coming before Obama and stocked up when supplies were plentiful.
With that said, it still sucks as even those stocked up have to be fairly conservative with recreational shooting due to supplies these days.
It's a complete restructuring of our country to have the masses completely dependent on our government. Covid paved away for this to happen so they took advantage of it to drive fear into society. Once fear is set in, the masses are easily controlled.
For me personally, I will never let fear take hold and determine how I live my life. If I can't breathe fresh air, The Good Lord gave us, well he can just take me home. Until then, I'll keep stalking up so my family can enjoy their freedoms.
Unfortunately no one wants to work these days due to all this mess so we will continue to see these shortages in goods and services. At this point, I don't see an end in sight. It may be a complete market crash due to a rapid rate of inflation. Even then, I don't see a change, it will further increase the amount of people that will just settle for government assistance.
Our school systems are destroying our youth and shaping their minds into a state where there is no absolute truths anymore. Due to this, all values that this country was founded upon are being washed away.
With all that said, H1000 is one powder I'm short of
.
Keep the fight and never give in to all this mess !
