When will the ammo shortage end?

[Balrog]

When do you think the ammo shortage will end? What is causing it at this point? Is it panic buying? Are factories operating at full capacity?

If this question was posted on another gun related site, the only answer would be 87 days.

I think it’s still going to be a while before it’s over. I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t get back to normal until after COVID gets under control.

It will be hard to overbuy and hoard when you are limited to 50 round per month with a national UBC for each transaction.

 

[Meeks36]

It'll be next year.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Depends on who wins the election.

 

[Ohen Cepel]

Year or less if Trump wins. If Biden wins and it will be years.

I think 87 days will always be the correct answer.

Just remember that you can't fix stupid, people will believe anything and panic over nothing!

How long did it take the last few? I want to say sandy hook didn't really go away until at least 2 years later and the fat times only really started in 2017 or 2018. How long did the 2009 scare last?

I extended my supply by three years because that's all I can afford. I also donated to NRA, SAF, GOA and the political party / politicians of my choice. Planning to vote early and in person (and often )..

Actually, the answer is always 42, the Hubble Constant and...ummm ask Doug Adams.

Life, the universe, and everything........oh, and thanks for all the fish. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Like some of you, I'm pretty-well stocked for the short-to-medium haul. Like most of you, I'd like to sock in a few thousand more rounds in a couple of calibers. "When" the shortage/gouging/hoarding ends will be a very subjective thing. All of us will start buying again on a sliding scale, depending on our spare cash and how badly we want those particular calibers. Simple economics + available funds + relative fear of TEOTWAWKI.
Pleasant dreams.

Lol, how can people be hoarding ammo when there is none for sale? I have not bought any 9mm or 380 since March. How am I hoarding? None of my club members are buying, How are they hoarding. Why are gun sales going through the roof? People want to blame hoarding on the Virus, the Election etc. No one wants to face the truth. Has society become so "Politically Correct" that blindness to reality is a common symptom? We are losing law and order on a daily basis. The ammo sales will return if we can bring it back. If we can stop the cancer that has taken over this great Country.

Well what would i do if I couldn't hoard?

 

[brewer12345]

Easy. Shoot.

 

[defjon]

In before lock in 3...2...1...

 

[CharliesHammer]

Easy. Shoot.

Every weekend!

I wish that weren't the case. We aren't hurting anyone having our fun here.

 

[Hartkopf]

Maybe everyone bought like crazy because online ammo sales will be banned if kamila wins. It’s awful hard to shoot much if you can only buy at your local Academy.

What is the significance of 87 days?
