Empty shelves in American stores less than 100 days before the election

Many Americans are well aware that in their cities, the power belongs not just to leftists, not only to outspoken communists but also fanatics, ideological whackos with ideas of the world revolution. What will American citizens do? They, in fact, have already done, and have already decided this.

America has gorged its fill of decapitated and mutilated statues, looting and marauding left-wing barbarians, and demands the restoration of order. Democrats already seem to know who won this year’s election, and the pathetic attempt to revolutionize America is simply an instinctive collective reaction of leftism to its future loss. But what can act as a precise, objective measure of this loss?

Go to many stores in America, and you will see empty shelves. The situation is reminiscent of empty store shelves in the Soviet Union. Of course, this does not apply to clothe or food stores – the shelves there are packed to capacity as if nothing were happening.

In America, only gun shops have empty shelves.

Scarcity is a word practically unknown to the Americans, but well known to everyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain. Now there is a deficit in America too – supply does not keep pace with demand for firearms. In the first half of this year, weapons sales grew 80% compared to the first half of 2019, with about half of these purchases made by first-time buyers.

Most importantly, women have made a record number of gun purchases this year.

Oh! “empty shelves”... in gun stores.

If anyone can find “Caffeine Free Diet Dr. Pepper” anywhere,
Mrs. Repeal would like to know.
It has become her Holy Grail.

[[[Gun sales are booming (pun intended)... the real “poll” of the mood of the country. Proof of the abject failure of (misnamed) “progressive” government. A political ideology that can’t (or won’t) guarantee its citizens safety, freedom, prosperity or peace. The more the (misnamed) “progressive” model fails the more tyrannical it becomes. #Trump2020]]]

I know at least half a dozen FFL’s. They say they have never witnessed anything like this as far as demand for firearms and ammo. 4 of them have been dealers since the 70’s.

Oh, and HD shotguns are the hot item currently.

[LouieFisk]

I believe he he’s talking about gun stores, not groceries and sundry products, but it’s not very clearly written:
“, this does not apply to clothe or food stores – the shelves there are packed to capacity as if nothing were happening.”

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I’ve noticed a shortage of canned tomatoes. Everywhere.

[faithhopecharity]

I see. Yes it’s not written well then. People are rushing as fast as possible to get firearms and other protective gear ever since the DNC ( Democrat Nazi Communist) party bosses set off all these riots in the streets - BLM ( burgle loot and murder) and all the rest of the Dangerous soroznazi Rabble

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I’ve noticed our local gro has HUGE bags of rice now.

[odawg]

Trying to gin up some panic. Did not read beyond the headline.

[LibertyWoman]

I found some at Dollar General but it was the last bottle. I’ve been looking for Peroxide for months. Online price? 12.00+ per bottle.

Tru dat, bro. You can chew through a lot of ammo on a bad day. The other aspect of this that you need many,many loaded magazines. You don’t want to be stuffing mags in the middle of a firefight.

[GailA]

Mostly here too, in a small town of 7,000, some weird brands, gallon cans of veggies. Beer, wine, milk, bread, eggs, MEAT is the shortage, chicken, high priced hamburger, steaks.

My late husband was always “stocking” canned and boxed food. After he passed away I began reading expiration dates. Canned food is not good over 10 years and I would not have used all the canned food he had. I just threw it out after a large can of Pineapple juice exploded and made the biggest mess. I keep just enough Flour & meal to make breads and butter & milk from a local dairy. I shop for the things I eat every two weeks. I went on shares with a garden and find that I go and gather from it and give it to my son’s family. I just don’t like veggies. The local Piggy Wiggly stays fairly well stocked.

[LibertyWoman]

HD?

[BillyBonebrake]

Its been tough finding fishing tackle in my parts. At least the stuff I use.

[Jamestown1630]

...'TP, that precious barometer of all that’s good in America.'

LOL! In my area, there were shortages of some things for a couple of weeks, in the Spring. Everything is back, now - including TP. We still can't find brand-name hand sanitizer - I guess all of that is going to hospitals, doctors, etc. - but there's plenty of off-brand stuff.

[gbscott]

Plenty here in Tenn! Maybe not a full on paper products as before the covid, but still plenty for everyone.

[SauronOfMordor]

My advice to gun buyers is “Avoid the last minute rush. Shop early, shop often. Buy more than you can afford.”

Guns and ammo should be considered investments. Buy more than you need when they're available. At the next shortage you will find yourself with friends and relatives who were not so wise .

[ealgeone]

Concur. TP is well supplied.

[Songcraft]

Also, stock up on some things like these, to share with your hungry liberal neighbors, to show how bighearted you are...
