What DHS is doing is driving up market demand which will cause an increase in production and eventually a glut on the market.
I had a very interesting conversation with a financial pro that gets it. He sees what the Bernakster and the Banksters are doing, where it will lead to etc. FWIW he warned me the banksters want it all and that don't think the "preppers" won't get whipsawed with the Bernanke pump and dump and hold deflating assets as well before hyperinflation kicks in. No one will mention that buying gobs of ammo, precious metals etc could be a crappy investment if like you mention a glut does come to fruition. As he noted timing might be everything...
