    Oh, and on the supply/demand thing, dont expect anyone to invest in more capacity. I recall one factory that did during the last shortage. Just as they got spooled up the demand dropped back down and they lost their shirts. Trying to remember who it was...

    And ESPECIALLY with the dems calls for more gun control. Who wants to make more of something when the govt is actively attempting to limit your consumers' ability to consume your product? Quite the crap shoot.
    I agree. One of the reasons I won't invest in firearms/ammunition companies. I'm not sure about future viability for them.

    And excess capacity is not a good thing in manufacturing.

    Much as I hate to say it... market prices.

    As long as there is such a big difference between retail price and market price, the scalpers and hoarders dominate.

    Market pricing will bring demand in line with supply... drive out or break the gougers... and eventually prices will trend down.

    Really? For all the bluster and fury about retailers that price ammo high it all comes from a vocal minority of members.

    Nearly 80% get it. Truly never expected that outcome.

    Poll is open with no close date so we will see as time goes on how the numbers go...
