I wonder how many scumbags went out and bought a ton of components, .22 ammo, AR's, etc. with the intent of scalping them when Hildabeast won and are now choking on it?
I was surprised locally there was still decent selection of stuff even up to election day. What're things like elsewhere availability-wise?

We're good here. Lots of stuff on the shelves.

That's capitalism for you. Win some, lose some.....
I only bought those things which I intended to use for my family's needs anyways. But I shouldn't have to buy powder or primers for a while....haha.
Now with even more aplomb

No idea as I have no use for that kind of stuff.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

I could use some H4350 but other than that, I've got no complaints

I picked up another 800 LRM primers since that was the only components I was looking short on. It'll be nice to walk in and buy the stuff I need a little more often....

I am feeling for the folks that didn't dump S&W and Ruger stock prior to the call... Maybe they will rebound.

I'm good for a good while on what I have, but figured some more primers and a couple lbs of powder just in case. I was really surprised how much was there. No Varget, H4350, or Unique, no Ramshot, but this particular store doesn't have the best selection typically anyway. How cool would it be to be able to walk in and actually buy the powder or primers you were looking for off the shelf? I'm stoked!An employee there did tell me last week that a guy came in and bought every .308 round they had in there for sale. No matter brand, bullet weight, etc. except for a couple boxes of the highest priced hunting ammo. I'm not gonna go rounds on this again. Call it capitalism if you like, but buying a pallet of .22s so you can take them to the gunshow down the road in a week and sell at a higher price I call knee grow bullchit. I'm hoping any budding "entrepreneurs" that did so this time lose their shirts selling at a loss.

I bought a sheit load of silver when it was @ $3.80 an ounce. When silver hit the low $40's an ounce (around 2011) I only sold it for $5.00 an ounce.
Didn't seem fair.

Stuff sat in stores before the election here. Ammo, AR15,loading stuff. Funny but that gave me confidence in a Trump win. No scare here.

I have been buying a bit of components as money allowed, but nothing is for resale. I was stocking up to get through another Democrat induced shortage.

Primers are the only thing a little scarce here...but our deer season opens in 5 days. I could write it off to that time of year......
We eat organic in our house, we just have to shoot and gut it first.....

22 mag around here but it's $20 for a 50 round box?
I stocked up last spring on powder, primers and brass.
(and some 22lr which I hardly ever shoot)
But still, buy, never sell.

Still have to stock up in CA, gun laws here absolutely suck. Soon we will have to be pass background checks to buy ammo. I did notice there is more available on the internet though.

I did hedge my bet that Trump would win by slightly overstocking loading components (plan for the worst, hope for the best)
My thoughts were the libs would try to regulate ammo etc via EPA if hrc were elected.
