Much like toilette paper in March, panic is causing everyone to buy up every round of every caliber RIGHT NOW to regain a sense of control. The value of having ammo a few thousand rounds of 5.56 on hand notwithstanding, I'm especially struck by the illogic nature of this - no matter who gets elected in November or what state you live in around the country, no one's going to ban common ammo. Demand will normalize. Supply chain deficiencies will balance.

Instead, I've started to grow more pessimistic about the fall and winter nature of politics and society, and I've been starting to buy some more standard-cap mags now and again. Not panic levels... just one or two 30 rounders when I happen to think of it, here and there. Grabbed a couple of 33-round Glock sticks and a few PMAGs because I was already in the store last week, that sort of thing. No plans to flip them, no self-mandated goal of if I don't have 100 mags for every firearm I am a failure... just want to have a reasonable personal supply for a few years to come.

Mags are in stock and often on sale because no one has any ammo to load them right now, so, not the worst idea I can proffer. Anyone else here starting to walk down that path of thought?
