Timing and preplanning is everything.

[Puller]

For the folks who keep complaining about not being able to buy ammo . . . .

You don't buy plywood in the middle of a hurricane; You don't buy firewood in the middle of a blizzard, You don't build a storm shelter as the tornado warning is sounding; You don't start disciplining your kids when they're teenagers.

Did I miss anything?

Yes. You don't preach after Mess is over.

You don't close the barn door after the horse is gone.

You don't complain about the scarcity of 22 LR ammo when MidwayUSA was selling it in February 2020 for $209 per 5K case delivered to your door. Primers were available for $23 per brick + HazMat & freight.

You don't mess around with Jim.

Stop selling after you've closed the deal.

Shop around & you could lose the hazmat or freight. I'm sure my delivery guy hated it when Powder Valley had free shipping specials! That was bullet buying time!

People spend too much time lamenting "I should of's." Doesn't do any good living in the past. There ain't no going back.

People either stocked up when prices were low or they didn't. If they didn't, then now they're shooting affordable (but high) .22's or they're dry firing a lot and working on some other hobby. (is complaining about the past a hobby?)

When/if the prices come back down, they'll have learned something, or not.

You can lead a horse to water; but you can't make him drink!

You can give a human knowledge; but you can't make him think!

The Darwin Awards in reality are a joke! There is no award to someone that is terminally stupid! But all of humanity is rewarded by their absence!

Why start a thread talking about planning and prepping when the ammo crisis is now 2+ months old?!

Had you planned this gripe session properly, you would have posted this in early November.

There should be a thread about indulging in schadenfreude.

I pre-planned for Holiday over eating. Took the battery out of the scale last Friday. Joe

You don't roller skate in a buffalo herd?

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

The people who stocked up were derided as "preppers", "paranoid", etc.
