Why everyone's shelves will be empty for the foreseeable future.

I smell opportunity for Canadian company's to flourish. Look at Kodiak and Wolverine/Spectre, a gun design from the past with some modifications and they can't make them fast enough to keep up to the demand.
 
Ohhhh, it all makes sense now... the Canadian government is panic buying by proposing their buyback scheme. :jerkit:
 
Unlike the US the Canadian market didn't get a second wave of buying after the Covid panic buying. Market is currently very slow. I think supply will run low but I don't think the shelves are going to be bare on everything.

It’s not just the Chinese virus, it’s mostly regarding the George Floyd fiasco. Militias are popping up all over America, even the liberals are starting to arm themselves.
 
I bought S&W stock some years ago.

Obama was elected.

Stock went to 150% above my purchase price. "Neat" thinks I. Held onto it.

Eight years later, Orange Donnie gets the big chair.

S&W stock (now American Outdoor Products) tanks. 50% of my purchase price. "Sucks" thinks I.

COVID, rioting, and the increasing chance of a Joe Biden presidency loom.

Stock's back at 150% of my purchase price.

I should time this better. The signs are all there. Could be time to bail out before I get all stupid greedy again.

better sell now,because crazy uncle Joe isn't getting anywhere near the oval office,anytime soon,rubber padded room maybe,that's if he even remembers when the elections are,LOL,,,so sell sell sell..and jump back on after the election when Trumps stays on,and the shares go back down,then hold until the next election,sounds like you could be a rich man just ridding the wave every 4 years,
 
In my opinion, this post would have more credibility with sources and also if it wasn't posted by someone who directly benefits from the panic buying caused by the spread of fear and product scarcity. That's some nasty marketing.

It’s comforting to know we have so many Fortune 500 C-suite strategists among our ranks. Especially those with backgrounds in enterprise emergency management.

Not a great way to up your post count newbie!.....:(

Show some respect man.
 
Keep buying! Cuz we all know when September hits, the gov't will announce the "Second Wave" shutdown (whether or not actual Covid fatalities increase).

And it's doubtful that Trudy plans to let go of the power grab, next time.
 
There is no creating a shortage, we are past that. The shelves are empty, we are selling turkey guns for home defense. Rather then have everyone speculating it's better to to try and keep everyone informed.

The IRUNGUNS Team

Being shot with a turkey gun would be bad news, especially loaded with 3-1/2” mags.
 
I have zero need for ammunition for self defense.
This post does make me want to go out and purchase my Barnes TTSX rounds for moose hunting in October though.
Maybe even dehydrated food to add to my hunting provisions.
 
The manager at the local sail was telling me they aren't expecting any more flats of bulk target shotshells for the foreseeable future and that firearms will only be trickling in. Basically what's on the shelves now is pretty much it. He claims the US bought back their allocation. Not sure if it's legit, just passing on what the manager told me.

They used to sell challenger shells but switched to winchester target. They haven't had the 20 Ga since March, and were down to 4 flats of 12 ga. Guess the days of 63$ a flat are over. I haven't seen challenger (made in Canada IIRC) there in a long while, not sure if they are selling to the US market or what.

 
We can all debate "Why" there are shortages but i think anyone that is debating if they even exist has their head in the sand

IRG has access to data we don't and i have no reason not to trust them. They many benefit a bit from a bump in sales bit if the shelves are bare and they have no merch to move, there is no benefit...

Other retailers I've been to have lower than avg supplies so im seeing this 1st hand

I have about 1-2 yrs ammo supply for calibers i currently own but i could always stack a bit deeper
and im looking at adding a 9mm to collection so i better add some of that!!!
 
Ok so if any of this is wrong its because the last economics class I took was in 1977 (be kind!), but if I were a doomsday predictor I would be saying it may be the start of the econolipse:

money supply (M1) explodes (govt printing to cover deficit), Way more $ out there than needed to run a healthy economy. Cash creation has no relation to underlying economic value created (growth).
Goods available to purchase drastically decline (who cares if its because of hording, supply chain or manufacturing issues).
More money chasing less goods equals inflation. Some inflation is generally accepted as a good thing, until there's a tipping point

Systemic unemployment (lack of jobs because of lack of demand for goods / services) plus manipulated unemployment (lockdowns) -= people who further cannot afford goods.
Dollar based (bonds, bank deposits) savings eroded because of inflation = people further cannot afford goods.
Demand for goods contracts along with resultant contraction of economic ability.

Global political jostling among super powers and others heightened because of resource access / supply chain disruptions -

Social problems exist pre batflu, including urbanization and overpopulation, racial tension, religious affiliations, differing environmental views and 1000 other flashpoints
Social problems exacerbated by batflu - domestic violence, unemployment, isolation, grief and mental health issues
BatfluWave2 (Spanish flue had 3 waves - just saying)

One may not be terribly paranoid to think having some extra ammo and Kraft dinner is prudent.

Just musing

What propogandist did you receive this information from? Inflation is central bank theft. They think its good to steal 2% of your wealth every year of your life.
