Filled up the truck and car yesterday. No lines. Just the price was easily 30 cents higher than it was just a few days ago.

Absolute hogwash. No gas shortages anywhere in the USA, including California (which unlike all other states imports its oil supplies).

It is getting very tricky to know what's real and what's not, I keep getting fooled myself. You have to 3x check everything these days.

Yeah, I've video's of the USS Gerald Ford being sunk, B-2 bombers being shot down and other crap. Just can't believe anything anymore.

And offices are telling full tankers at sea to slow down because there is no room in the storage tanks to download the cargo.
Eventually free market supply and demand pricing wins out over what speculators assume will happen.

Are you saying that picture of a T-Rex riding a Great White shark while shooting a M2 may not be real ? You've seen it, right ? You know what I'm talking about ?

If he wasn't using a stabilizing brace for those little arms, I doubt it's real.
You're destroying my entire belief system. I may have to take a closer look at that picture of Nixon shaking hands with little green aliens in front of their flying saucer on the WhiteHouse lawn.

Market is down = bargain hunting time.
So... What's up with an ammo shortage?
I'm hearing talk about a major upcoming ammo shortage. Anyone have any details or thoughts?

Sounds like they are trying to justify raising prices.

Key Factors Driving the Shortage:
Russian Import Sanctions: The ban on Russian ammunition removed a significant percentage (10-30%) of affordable ammo from the commercial market.
Ukraine War & Replenishment: Vast amounts of US stockpiles were sent to Ukraine, necessitating rapid replacement. Furthermore, small arms propellant is being redirected to make artillery ammunition, severely impacting civilian supply.
Component Costs & Tariffs: Ammunition manufacturers are struggling with high prices and scarcity of raw materials, specifically copper used for brass and bullets.
Increased Demand: Geopolitical tensions, such as the conflict in Iran, have spurred panic buying among consumers.
Prediction & Advice:
Local Scarcity: While major distributors may backfill inventory periodically, local gun shops are already running out of common calibers like 5.56mm and 9mm
Higher Prices: Expect prices to rise significantly as supply remains tight.
Be Prepared: The creator strongly suggests that gun owners increase their personal stockpiles of common calibers (9mm, 5.56mm, .45 ACP, .380 ACP, .22 LR) now before shortages worsen.

Democrats Reintroduce ‘Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act’

Is it too much to ask to get to the point where it's 9pm and I'm sitting around a fireplace in the dark drinking a bourbon listening to the BBC on shortwave reporting that the chair is against the wall, the owl is on the roof.
