Anybody Believe the Predictions About Ammo Shortages After November Election?

Seems like folks on a lot of gun forums are predicting ammo & gun "panic buying" like we saw after Sandy Hook.
I'm sure most folks here have stocked up on .22 ammo (and everything else). But does anyone put any credence in the rumors ?

Well there were shortages in 08 after Obama got elected and following Sandy Hook. It's definitely possible but I doubt it would get to sandy hook levels.

I can say if a catalyst happens to put a little stress on the AR market some shortages on the supply side would be exposed and we would see prices that are already creeping up move up a little faster. We all know a lot of AR parts come from a few OEMs before being branded by a lot of dealers/manufacturers. FCG components, forgings for AR15/308 (upper and lower), BCG components, and some barrel manufacturers are all running very long production queues right now.

I've been stockpiling plenty of depleted uranium sabots just in case.

Well since Hillz is a virtual lock, given the crop of idiots likely to be nominated by the opposition, I look for the NRA/gun lobby to create a panic to generate contributions/memberships. The side effect is an ammo hoarding blitz, so you should stock up now, then offer to sell at inflated rates on the OB after the election.
Bamz has sold more guns and ammo than any president in history, by doing nothing more than existing, and occasionally talking shite.

i still dont understand the 22LR and 22WMR stupidity...

I doubt we ever see the likes of the Sandy Hook panic buying for at least another 8-12 years. The dems did a full court press on gun control and failed miserably. It will take a couple presidential terms before they can try again and think there will be any success

There are enough stupid people to make it happen. That's for sure.

Do I believe that crazy people will react to Hillary being elected by hoarding ammo, thereby creating a situation where normal thinking, stable humans can't get ammo to go shooting.
Yes 100%

I have noticed that dealers have been pushing ammo a little more assertively in the recent email ads that I receive from them.

Damn it must be nice to be in the ammo business. I can't think of any other customers base that is more perfect for paranoid Internet rumors than paranoid gun nuts. They can float any rumor and it will cause a surge of buying. Must be nice.

I have enough ammo to enable me to ambush a hoarder and then steal his if needed. I'm ready.

It's called fake hysteria marketing.

After SH and the craziness that ensued I've been pretty dilligent about picking up a box of various ammo each time I go to Walmart. I'm no hoarder but I try to keep ~ 1000 rounds of .223/9/.45 at all times and some steel for SHTF.
The thing I'm most worried about is some sort of Executive Order limiting certain products. I've stocked up on scary mags and plan to buy a case of M855 before the fall.

Its like this. If Obama gets to appoint a new SCOTUS judge, there will be a run on ammo and guns. If a dem is elected to POTUS, there will be a run on guns and ammo. I gurantee if one of those happen, expect a liberal enclave to file a suit whether a ban or sue a gun manufacturer will follow. Expect a 5 to 4 decision against the 2A.

As said before, only if demo's win.
