The "borderline" normies are waking up.

I just came back from my local gun store. They are OUT of primers. They are OUT of rifle and pistol projectiles. VERY small selection of powders, limit 2#. They have about 100# of #7 1/2 shot. They have 12 and 20 gauge shotgun shells pre-loaded … what you see is what they got.

They have 4 shotshell presses. The Henry Company has told suppliers to stop calling.

The story is that people, unable to buy loaded ammo have tackled the art and science of reloading.

Because they can't find a $20 box of ammunition, they are dropping the big money into presses, scales and so on. Then they are finding that reloading components are also hard to find.

A lady (prospective customer who had just been turned away) was giving her adult son a family heirloom 9mm for Christmas, but couldn't find anything to shoot. She didn't want to exchange contact information or I'd have GIVEN her a box just to make the gift complete.

Apparently the choke point is in the suppliers of raw materials. to the manufacturers. I do not know if this is deliberate or just the market being unable to keep up with the riots all summer. Seeing the shitty attitude BATFE has turned on recently, I'd guess that its a combination of the two. I've heard that those companies which CAN get materials are working 3 shifts and expanding as quickly as possible (lag time for new equipment and facilities.)

SAUCE: Personal experience within the hour.
