Do we have any real problems?

I am already stocked on guns, ammo and accessories but I am stocking a lot more recently. A frind of mine, new to handgund recently bought an S&W M&P 2.0 Shield 380 Ez. Not our first choice but the LGS had sold the two guns we were targeting in the 2 days since we were there last. The reason I mention this is I started scoping out .380 ammo for him. In two days it went from normal availability to scarce so I bought him 2K rds. (and I don't think that's enough). I myself got 2K 9mm practice ammo. and 5K .22lr.

That said I will look to get another 2K 9mm practice ammo in the next few weeks. All of this ammo buying will add maybe 40% to my already stocked practice ammo in 9mm.

I'll also push my friend to get another 2K rds of ammo. For him, practice ammo is real world ammo.

Yes.

There is a valid reason ammo and firearms are not in stock now wake up call to some others will never wake up.

the problems we are seeing today are supported by the everyone gets a trophy generation.

Rhetorical question. Doesn't warrant an answer.

And the biggest a-hole of the bunch gets a special award. And the kid that never did anything right gets the sportsmanship award. The kid that grew 8 inches since last year gets the most improved award. Everybody is looking for their 3 minutes of fame, hoping that it leads to fortune, and everybody wants to be noticed. The guy flipping burgers wants to be paid like the guy who owns the burger joint too, but that’s another discussion, and the whole entitlement escapade just leads to arguing and civil unrest. People pull the racism/sexism/ageism/___ism card and get their buddies to buy in and all of a sudden we have a reason to burn buildings and flip cars to get the attention that we want because of some butthurt that we experienced. The people who are doing all this mess are NOT the majority but they are trying to get people to believe that they are, and some are buying into it. That is a scary enough situation to make me believe that yes we in fact do have some serious problems and that the gun and ammo shortage is not a willynilly fad. It’s a nervousness of the silent and sensible majority telling them to be prepared in case the current media circus comes to town.

Isn’t it your generation who created those awards you are complaining about?

It’s like people complaining that “kids these days” can’t change a tire or work a screwdriver...it’s not the kid’s fault they were given a faulty education. The kids got short changed. The parents and grandparents who are complaining are the ones who caused the problem.

It’s like y’all thought raising your kids was someone else’s responsibility.

touche' LOL.

going back to the other comment, when a minority of people are committing the crimes while the majority is silent, the minority becomes the majority. the old expression is in a room full of cowards one man taking a stand is a majority.

Hmmm...rampant pandemic, the worst unemployment since before my grandparents were born, water shortages, an early start to fire season in Montana, global climate change, government incompetence...seems we have plenty of problems. But humanity has always faced problems and so far we're still here.

Life is a sequence of problem solving; the better problem solver you are, the easier life you have. Everyone is an expert problem solver at some point in their life - they solve all of their problems when they die. Do we have any real problems? - none that aren’t eventually all solved.
