Ammo gougers

[Keith]

agreed. Start reloading or just quit shooting for awhile.

Where do I buy primers?

The problem isn't the gougers, its the people paying those prices and the people hording literally tens of thousands of rounds. That's where your ire should be.

Wrong! Look in the mirror and you shall see who is the blame for lack of preparation.

This post screams socialism....
What I spent/spend MY money isn't anyones business lol.
If someone wants to sell ammo to someone else for .65 CPR they bought for .20CPR and they're happy to buy/sell it why should anyone else care?

If SHTF, thousands of rounds of ammo is going to be tough transport. If you need more than a 500 rounds for every caliber you own, you'll probably end up dead before you exhaust your supply. That being said, it'll be great to barter with. As many problems as this country faces, I still appreciate the creature comforts living in a mostly civilized society affords us. I hope we collectively get our sh*t together before it things degrade into some sort of mad max scenario.

Why would people need to transport all of it?
a standard 50cal ammo can holds a ****pile of 5.56 and 9mm btw (or so I hear)

If you live out in the country, you'll probably be fine. If you live in an urban/suburban area, the first thing you'll want to do is get away from others.

I hope the price gougers and those that are buying it up from the regular user are spending their lunch money and look foolish in 6 months.

Some people actually like to shoot their guns and like to have enough on hand to last them during the slim times. Those aren't the people buying ammo now. The people buying all of the ammo now are the people who didn't get while the gettin was good and used to say things like "why do you need all that ammo?"

We had several years where ammo was cheap and plentiful and plenty of reference that it wouldn't last. If someone needs ammo now and can't get it they have no one to blame but themselves.

I do feel bad for the people who just got into shooting or firearms as all of this was hitting though.

Do you realize how many people hoarded ammo years ago? Just imagine if they didn't. They would be on the demand side now and things would be a lot worse. If they didn't hoard that would have reduced demand in the past also which would be less manufacturing today, so a double whammy.

Everyone should hoard when prices are cheap. It keeps ammo companies doing good all the time. We've had this discussion like 8 times over the past 15-20 years and we will have it again.

I even remember long ago starting threads saying how it was cheap and free shipping (when I found that) and telling people to load up.

People who previously hoarded ammo are hoarding even more ammo now, at least the ones I know.

And why does stocking up on ammo have to be about shtf/bugging out?

I know this is way crazy guys but stay with me. What if one day in the very very distant future, a bunch of morons freak out over a virus. Then the government tells you you can't go to work or leave your house. Then mass civil unrest and riots hit many parts of the country for months. All causing people who didn't previously own guns, and people who didn't stock up on ammo during the good times to start panicking. Then, an openly anti-gun administration and congress gets elected. Causing further panic. All this adds up to a really bad situation for ammo availability.

What if you want to have ammo on hand to be able to shoot, train, practice and hunt during something like that?

Again. I know that is an absolutely crazy hypothetical scenario, but you never know what may happen.

How are they buying it if it isn't available to people who don't have any?

What's crazier is thinking how things always get crazier. It will get wild before long. May not be 2021 but I bet one of these coming years before 2025 we top 2020.
