<shrug> this the sky is falling gets shouted every time this happens. Now if gun owners keep refusing to help and let anti gun people get power we will lose more and more gun rights. That has zero to do with the ammo. When enough people have more than they can keep and stop buying the shelves will fill again. Again many will ignore it, see weekly sales and ignore them. Something will set off another panic and the same people will start screaming the sky is falling. This panic will end, just like they all have. Now if we allow anti gun law makers to take over? That is a whole different story and stocking up does nothing. As if they are allowed the power they will just take the stuff stocked up. So other than not ignoring the next time the shelves are full make sure you vote to keep the rights you have left.
I agree with most of your post except the sky is falling part. Being in awe of how screwed up things are in 2020 is not saying the sky is falling. I sometimes find myself astounded at how screwed up things have gotten but I don’t think the sky is falling. The trajectory doesn’t look good so it seems like many of us are inclined to repeat and talk about how screwed up things are. Hopefully our votes count and we can pull out of this mess.
