I think we may see some times of lesser demand than others, but it won't be the same till after 2012, and depending on what happens in Nov 2011 it may well get worse, we may all be criminals.
The manufacturers are in a quandary, what if we buy machine tools, and space and guns, or ammo, or both are ultimately outlawed. They can't afford the risk making those types of investments with no idea of what's coming.
It's tough to find all that I want , but I can still find a little here and there, I won't complain about it, cause it won't do any good. I find a 100 primers here and a hundred there, I'd rather find a brick, but you all know that's getting rarer and rarer.
I just keep making my stops and picking up a little here and a little there, I leave things on back-order at several web site places such a Midway, or Brownells, or Powder Valley, and if I get really desperate I will ask here if anyone wants to part with a little of what they have.
I am not going to let it upset me, I'm going to do what I can and be thankful that I am not yet a criminal.
