So the problem with ammo is something unique relative to almost every other consumer product. So, imagine if people got twitchy about milk, or cheerios, or whatever. I guarantee you that we would see the exact same thing with these products. The principle problem with the ammo market is that ... so many people have a very low panic threshold.
No product could cope with this kind of spikey demand that we see in the gun and ammo market. If everyone would just chill out, and not get our collective undies in a knot, then even if we wanted to buy more than we did last year, we could smoothly move the market towards producing more of the product that everyone wants to buy.
Frankly, this kind of spikey panicky market would make any decent venture capitalist think twice before entering it.
Things will even out, production capacity with gradually expand, and if we could all take a collective deep breath, everything will be fine (in an absolute sense, granted there may be relative changes but in an absolute sense, we'll be fine).
I looked at how much ammo I expended over the last year, and i've basically set out a schedule so that if i wanted to lay a little bit away, i'd buy just a little bit more at each time that i would typically buy.
If you are buying your year's supply of ammo in one purchase, then you are part of the problem. Just like if you were trying to buy all the milk that you would buy in one year at once, that would be a problem (yeah, i know, ammo has a longer shelf life, but you get the picture).
Frankly, if you are buying ammo and you don't even have a gun to shoot that ammo, then you are the absolute worst of the worst, at least as regards the gun and ammo situation. In that respect, I quite severely dislike you.
