Hoo...............Dooo............
Man
Who sang that song?
Like I said, this all seemed just real fishy to me after about 6 months or so. At the onset of this farce I could see all the panic buying and hoarding and everything else that we humans are so fatally prone to do in most situations we dont understand, have no control over or are just afraid of, layoffs, closures, sickness from the flu etc but there comes a point where it is just BS. We've past this point.
One of the main components that all of these elitist CEOs, and that's what they are, remember they're multimillionaires who are obviously from a higher gene pool ( hyperbole), cited is " the new gun owner, millions of them, who bought firearms for the first time in their lives. BS, they bought their gun and a box of ammo and took it home, put it up away from the kids and now they're safe, ready for whatever is coming their way. OK. No matter what we feel they should do, buy lots of ammo, practice?, get training, buy some more ammo, practice, and start reloading, they didnt do that because they are not of the gun world we are of, they didnt grow up with guns, they dont love guns and shooting the way we do so they didnt do what we think they should. So, sorry to say but this is how I feel is they're on their own and very few should expect any help from me because the way I see it is they should have been doing this all along and they didnt and I think they're PART of the reason we are in the condition were in with our 2A rights because they sat in the sidelines their whole lives and only when they felt that THEY could be negatively impacted, then they acted, out of selfishness.
So, there are what 20 million- 40 million boxes if 9mm, 45acp, 357/38 and 22? How much inventory did all of the manufacturers have collectively? How much can they produce monthly collectively? Yes, I understand about the LEO/Mil contract fulfillment obligations and all that, shipping of raw materials etc but if every single CEO says they are running at full capacity getting ammo out the doors at record pace and volume, where the F%@& is it? That's all I want to know.
Oh, and before I'm accused of being cold and heartless and being a bad face of the gun owning crowd by shunning all the lazy, selfish precious little new gun owners, I've already taken a young man under my wing and am fostering him along his journey. Remember I said there are "few" who I do not/would not count among the loosers who only now own guns because of their own selfishness and hes one. A very respectful, interested and mature fellow who had to have been homeschooled because he can add, subtract, form a coherent sentence and diesnt seem to be lazy.
Very sorry for the rant. I know I got off into the weeds bigtime there.
