Thanks Haz!

MB, did you get any view of what the new normal may be?  Will it just be higher prices, or are we in for something "new and improved?"

I was having coffee with a good friend at the gas station a few years ago when gas prices started up.  We had been buying gas for $0.99, and it had risen to $1.80.  He said I shouldn't worry about it.  His theory was "It will go to $2.50 or $3.00, and we'll soooooo happy when it settles back at $1.95 ... Twice our normal price and we will love it."

Sounds like guns and ammo will head the same way.

Thanks Haz,

That is absolutely the best explanation of the ammo situation that I have seen. It doesn't make me happy, but it does explain things.

Awesome post!!!

Good one Haz!
Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. - George Washington
