Again, not trying to derail the thread, but ... As I've mentioned before, there are two possible outcomes of all this:

One, Obamaphobia is overblown, and hoarders end up with many years' worth of components that they paid through the nose to get. That leads to such a slump in component sales that the folks who didn't hoard will then see super-bargain prices and plentiful supplies.

Two, Obamaphobia is even worse than feared, and the possession of guns, ammo or components is utterly prohibited. Hoarders will be saddled with tons of very expensive stuff they can't use, can't sell and can't admit to owning - or go to jail for it.

Either way, hoarders are phoocked.

Rocky is right

I went into Wally World the other day...looking for some 38-357 ammo for a friend.. Not a joke..I have more ammo at home here than they had in the store..Not just 38's...I mean total. They did have plenty of shotgun ammo but no 38,357,40, 45..8 boxes of 9mm 6 boxes of 44 mag...at high prices too. Rifle ammo was in short supply also. I actually bought 1000 small pistol primers in the store last week. First time in 30 yrs that I can remember..longer even.. price was ok at 24 bucks but the rest of the primer shelves were empty. This has gotten ridiculous. Hopefully supply will overtake demand sometime soon. I am actually afraid that Rocky's second scenario is the final outcome of the shooting sports in the future..probably like Canada at the very least. Stupidity in government...But heck..the people elected that bunch.
