    10/10 fear mongering once again.

    Typical election season stupidity with a side of civil unrest. Things will be fine, so long as people up here don't start acting like the dummies down there and buying every round of ammo they can get their hands on. I've yet to see any form of shortage up here, lots of stock in every store I've been too and lots still coming in, same with reloading components. Prices are all over the place but again, no shortage of supply though that could change, I dont forsee it so long as we stay level headed unlike the #### show at our border.

    Except this time it sold for a crazy price.

    To be clear, there might be some increases in the short/mid term, but nothing that warrants the kind of prices that guy paid for 1000 rounds. If prices ever make it to 1$/round for 9mm, I'll sell most of my stash and buy a second house.

    If 9mm made it to 1$, can you imagine the prices of larger calibers? 45acp/357mag for 2$/round? Plinking quality 308 for 2.50$/round? Hunting rifle ammos from 243 to 300WM and shotgun shells for 5$ a pop? A lot of people would sell their stash at that price and retire early.

    If you wanted to make quick money a few months ago, you should have bough AMZN stocks, not ammos.

    I just picked up 3000 9mm projectiles for $300

    I can make my own powder. My own primers.
    Looking at buying some molds.
    I don't see any ammo shortage in my future

    "Enter Address: 1234 Craptastic street Minneapolis, Minnesota"
    "Select method of shipping: APV and armed delivery men."

    Some special circumstance in this auction, but fundamentally IRG is/will be right: a consequence of morons deciding monetary policy. Rapid inflation is the inevitable result of the money printing presses going full tilt. Not even twenty years ago, 9mm ammo could be had for ~5.00 a box, now it's over 15.00... 3x increase in several years during the more conservative Harper years into Turd Reich. It's not unreasonable considering the current trend to expect $35.00 for that box next year.(700/thousand) And for those who think this is a result of manufacturer greed... you're thoroughly stoned on blue pills.

    Availability will be influenced by supply and demand, and obviously also influences prices but those prices are always measured in baseless dollars.

    I totally agree, prices on firearms and ammo have increased very rapidly in this country in a few short years. Canada might be a bit more immune to the latest fluctuations. However with all the demand in the U.S., I could potentially see shortages, or prices on ammo jumping again very soon, unless all the unrest and political volatility settles down. Strangely I don't see the leftists relaxing their riotous and indignant attitudes anytime soon.

    Whoever spends that much money for 9mm rounds at that cost per round, needs to join the tinfoil Helmut club. Sorry, but Canadians don't buy into American ammo paranoia purchases. I remember when Yanks went nuts for .22 LR and bought up most available supplies due to ammo hoarders. They tried back then to get Canadians into ridiculous levels of buying rimfire ammo back then. Meanwhile few places in Canada had any sort of shortage and where there were shortages, they were short lived. Few Canadians rose to the fervor that time and I'm willing to bet few do this time. What we're seeing is paranoid American's prepping themselves for when Trump loses the election and his base comes out to start the second American Civil War. That is what these fruit loops are talking about on all social media platforms. So I'm not biting. Let the nut bars waste their paychecks on stupid ammo prices.

    They are in the sense that for a while the shelves will be bare.
    Eventually production will pick up and everything will get restocked.
    But for a while supply will be very limited. Who knows how long "a while" is? Weeks? Months? Longer?

    If you have a lot on hand you'll be fine. (do nothing)
    If you think you might be low, get a few months supply now.

    buying to make money isnt the best use of your time (like mentioned before buy stocks)

    having more ammo than you need is never a bad situation to find yourself in

    worst case, if you find you overstocked, sell it to a friend a cost...
