Here’s another take on the ammo shortage. It DOES make sense.

“This is a huge mess and I am going to offer this on why there is no product. First let me say has there been a ban passed yet? On anything, about anything? NOT YET.

With the effort of everyone there won’t be either. Having said that the word ban, new laws, regulations...put people in a frenzy. I can assure you that there is no intentional shortage by said manufacture. IMO, it is coming from the panic people put themselves in. People are shopping for ammo that shoot once every other year. Why? Because someone told them there won’t ever be any .22 lr ammo ever. Or, the guy who hears there is a shortage on something so he runs out every chance to get it and creates an even bigger shortage. Someone who might use a pound of powder over the span of five years is in dire need of it. Right?

You folks all know someone I am talking about. Maybe even look in the mirror. If the panic and frenzy stopped at three o’ clock today, it would take at least one year for the shelves to be stocked as they were prior to this craziness.

I wish some people would calm down a tick because putting yourself in dire emergency to get some products is only making this mess worse and lengthening it.”

Yes, it’s no different as when 90% of the public neglects to stock up on bottled water, then hears a hurricane is coming, and wonders why they can’t find any at the store. The idea that some government contract caused this shortage is nonsense.

Really. WAY to many people related to Chicken Little developing a lust for ammo. Thought hysteria was a female problem, guess not.
