The lack of ammo is kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. I was at one gun collectors web site a few days ago where a guy told the story of going to a local hardware store and found 13 small 50rd. boxes of .22 long rifle for sale at $1.99 per box. He scooped up ten boxes and went to pay, and then said, “gee, why don’t I also go get the last 3 boxes” which he did. Did he need the last 3 boxes? Most likely not, but they were there. So some other poor guy who might have wanted to take his kid out for a little plinking won’t get the chance, because one guy is sitting on all the ammo the store had. Its happening all over the U.S. I have a S—t load of ammo, but bought it way before there was any shortages, so I don’t feel guilty.
Me, too.
