I somehow slept through the 2008 shortage. Wasn't even aware there was one. Sandy Hook made me decide I needed some new firearms and a lot more ammo, so 2013 was a pretty bad panic/shortage. The 2016 shortage was just a blip on the radar screen. Not much to it.

But this shortage, this shortage seems to be deeper and longer lasting than 2013. In 2013-14, I was able to watch the internet stores and actually find some ammo that was only double regular price. But the shortage of 2020, I see ammo prices that are quadruple regular price and it's much harder to find.
