As a buisness owner I will say this. Your suppliers will protect their largest and most important customers first. I run a trucking company that specializes in flatbeds. I have seen what has happened to the metal and scrap metal industries in the last 2 months. Not pretty. Just when smelting and mining companies were slowing down to adjust for the down turn there seems to be a spike in demand. Copper, brass, aluminum etc. If there is a lag in the supply chain, and therefore, a lag in production and distribution, what small inventory there is, is going to go to the largest customers first. Sorry, but that is just the economic facts. I just tried to log onto Magpuls website to order 10 more 30 round mags. Guess what? no more direct orders. They are only supplying to their dealers and distributors. Things will balance out, but it will take a few weeks to get production ramped up and supplies moving again. As a transportation company owner, I can tell you that things have slowed dramatically. It will take a while to get some loads out on the road and get the factories back up to speed. I believe there will be plenty of goods available before "Lord Obama" decrees that EBR's are no longer available to the commoners.
