Hope so, but it all depends on how the current governmental administration does with respect to attacking the 2nd amendment.

My guess is that shooting will slow down a lot because we just can't find much to shoot. I absolutely will not buy components from Gunbroker or from any other source where scalping is the order of the day.
Stopped by the LGS the other day to see what might be available. The store was very busy with people looking at guns of all sorts. When I asked if there was ANY primers or powder available, the owner said that he sells 100% of the components he gets "on line", nothing is sold in the store. I was completely shocked to hear him say what I have suspected all along. The LGS is clearly part of the problem IMO.

If people would just calm down and quit paying these astronomical prices there would be no market for the scalpers I mean entrepreneurs to sell. Fear is driving this. We've seen it before wether it was primers in the 80's, .22 shortage, run on AR's. Etc. this time is worse because of the covid impact on supply. One good thing about America if theres a buck to be made someones going to go get it. Plants are running full out. Supply will catch up at some point. The sooner we all calm down the sooner it will be. If you dont really need powder, then dont but everything powder valley has when it does pop up. Leave it for the guy that is out.
What a shame, I was dealing with a great guy here local but the last time I went by his place he was listing stuff on Gunbroker, I haven't been back
Houston paper has story of people setting up networks to update people on when arrival is coming at gun shops and sporting goods stores. Bet 95% of these are scalpers, and to that I say "get a real job". They do the same networking on premium bourbon to sell on off market sites.

Now you got my attention - it just is not right!!! Buying up all the premium bourbon to scalp!! What's the world coming too dear lord.
What I do is make a note of those stores and NEVER shop there again. I vote with my pocket!
