We have ever tightening regulation by local, state, and federal governments.
We have a pandemic that threatens the supply of food and toilet paper.*
We have civil unrest and violence in the streets.

This is the trifecta for shortages of ammo and firearms, which leads to much higher prices when you find ammo and firearms for sale.

* Toilet paper? I would have never guessed in a million years that people would be willing to fight over toilet paper. Food and water? Certainly, but toilet paper?
