[QUOTE="BigDon, post: 2110397, member: 107254"] A lot of people are justifiably upset/concerned about this. But the perspective I see is very ‘Now’. This is Not a ‘Now’ problem. We are only just now feeling the pinch. This is a long term problem. There will be some short term mitigation - gun sales will go down - 1. because there aren’t any to buy And 2. If You can’t get ammo - fewer people want to buy guns they can’t actually shoot. Ammo and primers will start to show up. They’ll be hard to find, though, until everyone’s toilet paper stash closets are full of ammo, primers and powder and they stop hoarding. That won’t be soon. We went through this in the Yobama years - But that Was engineered, manipulated and artificial. THIS shortage is real. Freaked out masses suddenly figured out that the government’s pledge to protect and serve was an illusion. They went out and bought guns for the first time to protect themselves. This dynamic is completely different and pressingly real to millions of new gun owners. This a today, Now - And Tomorrow problem. We’re Looking in to a deep dark hole - or maybe a bottomless pit. $1,000 primers look expensive right now. This time next year that might look cheap! Toilet paper is a good example for us. In less than 3 or 4 weeks all the tp in America disappeared. We didn’t see any new supply in Wyoming for over 90 days, and only now are the shelves at Sam’s Club even reasonably stocked. You can only use and store so much tp, after all. Ammo, primers, powder, etc...slower supply chain, and far different economics all mean that the difficulties of the YoMama years were just a taste of what we’re experiencing today. Those dynamics also mean that the TP lesson is misleading. There will be nearly endless demand to fill this divot that far exceeds the capabilities of the supply chain. Hunker down....this is a Long way from over. (Sorry to be such a downer.) [/QUOTE]
