    Oh, I get it. "high demad" = artificial inflation do to profiteers. If it was just people buying ammo that actually use the ammo I guarantee the shortage would dissapear. It's the people hording it for profit that are causing the problem.

    Anyway, I'm bored with this. We can agree to disagree.

    Well, at least you got part of it right regarding the "high demand = artificial inflation". And yes, people inflate prices to make a profit. It's called capitalism and if you'd learn a little about it you'd learn why it's a good thing overall. It might not be good for you at a given moment in time but it's good overall and it's the best system in the world for making things available to those who need them. But you're wrong (at least in my situation) about the other part. I buy and store a shitload of ammo when the price is right for me because there will be times when AMMO WILL BE IN SHORT SUPPLY AND HIGH PRICED.

    And you still can't provide a rational example of price controls and rationing fitting into a free market economy. It has nothing to do with you being bored. It has to do with you willfully not educating yourself on basic economics. Well, that and the fact there isn't a rational example of how those things work efficiently in a free market economy.

    And BTW...disagreement and ignorance are not the same.
