I don't see gunbroker going spastic. Not the high prices seen during the summer shooting/rioting season of 2020.

I just checked ammoseek...no substantial price increases noted for 5.56, .223, and 9mm, prices have remained roughly the same for months.

Maybe the run is just getting started, or ammo dealers are trying to make a killing by trying to create another ammo frenzy?

Don't be thinking that ammo takes on all threats

IMHO the biggest baddest enemy everyone has is the demons they construct in their own minds.

Ukrainians are a case in point. They obviously have a fear of being invaded by Russians. Rather than taking Putin's overtures at face value and recognizing an invitation by the Russians to calm those fears they instead chose to go ballistic and meet their fear with force (aka ammo).

Their future is ordained by their past.
