It’ll stop when people realize no major gun control legislation will actually get passed. We needed a ****storm to erupt on Inauguration Day for any chance of gun/ammo restrictions to get through Congress. People behaved themselves. If nothing occurred under Obama, I have no reason to believe anything will happen over Biden. The Democrats are just playing to their base and it’s mostly right wing paranoia/flippers/hoarders fueling the buying at this point. What cracks me up is the types that think thousands of rounds will keep them alive if SHTF, but couldn’t run a mile under 12 minutes if their life depended on it.

Very concerning times. Kinda reminds me of the oil business, during the 1973 oil embargo the oil patch fellas were saying 'drive 90 and freeze the yankees". Years after that they were saying "give me one more boom and I swear I won't screw it up this time". Also reminds me of my Dad saying to "always throw a six pack more than you think you will drink into your ice chest so you won't go thirsty".
I have always been one that will buy a bit more than I need when the price was attractive. Guess that is the reason I'm ok in the ammo dept. Was rearranging some ammo and I have some 357 mag 125 gr hp's that is still in the oringal 50 count package that I paid $14.50
for from Ga Arms a few years back. Hell I even still have paper shotgun shells. Does that make me a hoarder? I don't thinks so. It puts me in a more comfortable position
While this current situation is frustrating, I strongly feel that some folks need to look in the mirror for the source of their problem. I do it regularly before I search for .257 accubond bullets and .243 for my grandson's gun. Mine was a lack of forethought and poor planning. Nobody's fault but my own. There again, the ammo is there, but I am not going to pay 3 bucks a round or $84 for a 50 ct box of bullets, Still the choice is mine. What it will be like in the future is unknown and very concerning/scary. Good luck to all

Next time I visit Academy I plan to talk to the manager and ask they do something. Your idea is good.
I think if everyone complained to the manager when going in they might make a change. I'm sure they're hearing it already but probably need a little more push
