Fixing the Supply Problem

IMHO...........this is more about people preparing for what they see as a government that is increasingly trying everything it can to disarm the populace.

These shortages didn't begin in earnest until this administration came into power under nefarious election conditions. The majority on the political right think the election was stolen....even if it were "legally stolen".......stolen none the less.

While there is a certain degree of people that still haven't caught on or don't believe our government is turning to socialism/communism, there are many, many more that do and are making sure they have the means to do something about it when the time comes.

The reason I say this, is not only are the components that most target shooters and such in short supply.........ALL ammo and components are in short supply. Especially "dooms day" type ammo.

A wise decision IMHO......

While we worry about our next target match, the rest of the population is worrying about staying free and protecting their belongings and families. While conditions are getting better due to manufacturers increasing production, you also have the government buying huge sums of ammo for their purposes........whatever that may be. I have my suspicions.

While over seas, all European nations are also preparing for a WWIII scenario that looks like it's headed their way. World wide demand has totally stripped all supplies from every manufacturer in ever country...........not just here.

Just my opinion on all this. I think the SHTF scenario is not far off no matter how the future elections turn out. If Republicans win...the left will go berserk..........much worse than the so called George Floyd riots (SHTF). If the left wins, it will continue to become more oppressive (from our point of view) until something snaps..........then SHTF again. It's coming either way IMHO..........

That's why everyone is "hoarding" more that than any other reason - IMO.......WISE DECISION - IMHO.

BS - IMO
I'm sure you believe all of what you said, but your entire concept is based on a false statement. The shortages began long before the current administration came into power. Your false assumption is the same as has been passed around for many years, the government is going to take your guns, so stock up. Every time the concept flares up, people start hoarding and buying things they don't even need. Of course there is going to be a shortage and the prices will go up. Covid threw a wrench into the production and supply of everything. I've been hearing it for over 50 years and was probably going on before that. Regardless of who wins and loses, I won't be using my hobby toys agains't my neighbors. Political disagreement is how America settles its disagreements, not violence. People who encourage violence could be one reason why people fear guns. Brandishing them only makes it worse.

Based on a false assumption? Political disagreement is how we settle our differences, not violence?

I guess your buddies in BLM and ANTIFA forgot to get the memo about not being violent.......Oh.....and your democrat commies such as Beto don't really mean it when they say "Hell yeah we're going to take them!!!" and they're only joking when they try to pass legislation on gun mag limits and out right bans on so called "assault rifles".........these are the same people that don't know what a woman is........and you actually believe their lies......so I have to wonder...........between the 2 of us, who is really believing a lie?

IMO.... :cool: .....Your opinion is BS and DEAD wrong and I'll keep getting prepared as will many, many others like me.

I really hope you are just joking and trying to jerk my chain instead of actually being so foolish and gullible as to believe the communist/socialist democrat lies.

You vote your way into socialism but you have shoot your way out of it.......


A rose by any other name still smells the same:

Democrats=Progressives=Liberals=Socialists=Marxist=Communists

Not a dime’s worth of difference between any of them.
 
Check the " They Them" investment portfolios and see how many of them we are making much richer, Always follow the money, They have become much better at hiding it, " I had no idea I just let my investment firm take care of it for me" Not that terribly long ago was one's excuse when confronted about being anti gun and investing in a firearms company

IMO
 
Fixing the supply problem?? Is there REALLY a supply problem or just more BS from the government/left wing media?
Ships off shore that can't get unloaded? All back page stuff now.
Shooting at Texas school? All back page.
The hot "item" NOW is Row V Wade. No More!! Power goes back to the states.
Wasn't there something about a "war" and States rights?
Reminds me of years back when Johnny Carson said something about a toilet paper shortage. Sure enough there WAS a shortage the next day.
The "media" mentions a shortage and sure enough, there IS a shortage.
Fuel prices going sky high? WE THE PEOPLE sure didn't do it!! Look at who's in charge. You want fuel" You pays your $$$ and you takes your chances. OR, you could go electric. :oops: :p Coal powered power plants to produce power for the EV charging stations? :oops:
First it was TRUMP, then it was PUTIN? I think we need to look closer to home. :(
 
You know the world is going to heck in a hand basket when even nuts are in short supply. Peanut butter shortage here in my part of Pennsylvania. I’ve always thought we’ve had lots of nuts out there. Maybe they just don’t identify as nuts anymore???
 
Sorry but I disagree with your premise. I go into a store and see primers or powder for sale I’m buying as much as the store lets me or my wallet lets me. I was unprepared for the last ammo shortage, never again.

I tried to find a good "head in the sand" meme but I'm just too damn tired right now.
 
The current situation as to the supply of reloading components was created by COVID. Then it was enhanced by hoarding. This resulted in supply shortages and higher prices. Price gouging pushed the prices even higher. How do we fix this?

The quickest way to fix this is to reduce demand. Don't buy more than what you need. Stockpiling components only causes prices to go even higher. Supply is not going to increase. Only the consumer of the components can fix the problem.
Just like a woman cannot have enough shoes,(most of which are black by the way) a man cannot have enough ammo, powder, bullets, brass, primers or guns!!! In good times or bad!!
 
Funny thing? I havn't run out of ANYTHING. Got toilet paper, enough for now. Bullets, powder and primers? Have had a stash for a looong time.
Got enough food on my table, full tanks of fuel in my cars. Still got $$$ in the bank, all my bills paid and I owe NO ONE anything.
Somebody wants my guns? Come on down and be sure to bring your lunch cause you're going to be at it (trying) for an extended period of time. I'll point you to the lake where I lost them in that boating accident.
Government? Nothing but a bunch of crooks and it doesn't take much to see them in action if you just open your eyes. And the worst part??? We Let it happen!
The price of EVERYTHING has gone up. And WE THE PEOPLE sure didn't do that!
So who'e left? :oops: :rolleyes: :mad:

But demand reduction may not be quick.

The price of EVERYTHING has gone up.
And it will continue to go up because of energy prices. Brandon promised that he would "punish the petroleum industry"...apparently they were not ready to be punished....now the mantra is Putin is responsible...that is just stupid!
If ya think things are in short supply and expensive now wait till harvest time...cost of fertilizer is almost doubled...scary ain't it?
