Watching the phenomena with interest, who are the panic-stricken buyers? I can't imagine members here being panic-stricken by anything. Are they first-time gun buyers? Why are tens, maybe hundreds of thousands, millions of Americans scared?
King:
That's my loose description of buyers,many of whom are first time firearms purchasers, who fear that they won't be able to buy firearms in the future. There is also pending legislation to either severly restrict the types and quantities of ammunition being sold or to raise the price to unaffordable levels. This is the primary reason(IMO) for the run on ammunition and reloading components.
I personally don't think there's much to fear on either front as the Democrats got a harsh lesson in reality after they enacted the "feel good but worthless" Assault weapons ban in 1994. I don't think they're likely to repeat that fiasco again.
