The gun show venders/flippers are the ones that irritate me, they start buying as soon as they smell blood in the water, (election) and they have the capital to wipe out all the target inventory in a store if they wanted to, such as primers. That starts the shortages for us.
You'll see all the primers and powders, that are getting scarce, show up in the gun shows at a highly inflated price, as soon as the panic buying hits full intensity.
Now, with the virus, the gun shows are shut down and the flippers are stuck with all this stuff they bought to flip for the up coming election and can't unload it, Now they are cash poor and scrounging like the rest of us. Good for them, I hope they choke on it.
