You do not get to determine what someone needs. If I >need< 500 rolls of toilet paper, that is my business and I donāt have any moral or legal obligation to explain to you why. The same as I have zero moral or legal obligation to anyone to explain why I need a particular firearm. Anyone who claims to be able to determine anotherās need is playing the leftist anti-gunners game and they are just too selfish to see it.
My family has 6 people...3 of which are girls. We use a >lot< of toilet paper. So if I found a good deal on TP, especially during a time of possible shortage then buying 500 rolls is not only the prudent thing to do, itās the smart thing to do.
The 2nd doesnāt guaranty your armament. It guarantees that the >government< wonāt stand in the way of your armament. It says absolutely nothing about the availability of arms and ammo through private enterprise.
Again, someone who didnāt see the writing on the wall and listen to people who for decades have been preaching ābuy it cheap and stack it deepā crying because they apparently hate the free market and only want it to work when prices go down, not up.

If you have 50 rolls of toilet paper, you are prepared. If you have 500 rolls, you are hoarding and part of the problem.
I don't know what the number is for any given caliber of ammo, but there's a number where you flip from prepared to hoarding, and part of the problem.
I stopped going to hyatt's years ago.
I have no problem with people buying what they need or want.lol, this, right here is funny stuff. actually the problem is people think they can just run to the store whenever and grab it. people think they donāt need something until they do and then everyone tries to buy it at the same time.
better to have and not need than need and not have.
someone once told me a long time ago, that you buy during the good times to have during the bad times.
wanna know something, even if i had 500 rolls of TP, thatās one less trip to the store.
buy a box or 2 extra of ammo here and there adds up over time and eventually i wouldnāt have to rely on store stock to buy that one box of ammo when i go to the range.
hoarding, gouging, racism, white privilege and many other terms are getting to the point people are using them to shake other people.
even if i had X amount of whatever that in your eyes goes from prepared to hoarding, donāt blame me for your lack of foresight.
thatās the biggest problem i see every cycle, disaster, or slight blimp that disrupts the slightest ānormalā in peopleās lives.
herka derp, things happen, buy extra stuff here and there. waiting to the last minute to buy something, is like you saw the sign that the lane ends in 1 mile and trying to squeeze in at the last moment.
they automatically complain about hoarding or blah blah blah, iām mad because i didnāt set a few back (of whatever) here and there over x amount of time and now i can get it like i used to or x price.
whatās the saying?
poor planning on your part doesnāt constitute an emergency on mine?
point being is, it on you yo make sure you have enough, so when hard times come you have less to worry about.
plenty other stuff to add but thatās for another time.
I never called anyone a hoarder, and I never use the other terms in your list either. You used the excuse of my post to add 2+2 and come up with 75.lol, this, right here is funny stuff. actually the problem is people think they can just run to the store whenever and grab it. people think they donāt need something until they do and then everyone tries to buy it at the same time.

I have all I need. Enough to last me years. But, What I don't do is walk into a store and grab up all on the shelf and sell at rediculous prices. Be it toilet paper, ammo or what ever. I don't try to take advantage of people in hard times. There is no ammo " Shortage". They are making more than ever. If we would just take what we need there would be no problem. Hate, Greed and Envy. Explains it all.

All of my posts on this topic have been about numbers. Nothing else. I have cast moral aspersions on anyway.
So relax.
All I have said is that if there are already production issues, and some people run out and buy tons of a product around which there are production issues, those people have then extended the length of time it will take to catch up production. Thus, they have become "part of the problen". Period.
And that is simply a fact.
I never said it made anyone a bad person. It's simple math and economics.
I never suggested that anyone who buys a ton of bullets is immoral. I literally only said that if supply is limited, and there are production issues, those who buy a ton of ammo will extend the period of time it takes for production to catch up. Mathematically and economically that is just simply true.i know tone can be lost over the interwebz, that post does come off kinda douchey and probably this one does as well, but itās not meant that way.
just saying that what you call hoarding (which you did if one person has x amount which in your eyes is more than one might need, whoās to say one doesnāt need x amount that you consider hoarding) might be hoarding in your or other peoples eyes that donāt have foresight to have what they need on hand.
yet the people that do have this stuff is just having plenty to hold them over to get through the bad time.
it simple, buy extra of what you need during the good times.
and again, better to have and not need than need and not have.
no one is forcing anyone to buy anything
but, eh what do i know, iāll just sit back and continue watching the show lol
FIFY.Ineversuggested that anyone who buys a ton of bullets isimmoralhoarding.
When did I suggest that?FIFY.
I think we get your other point. Don't necessarily agree with it but get it none the less.

Nothing I said should cause anyone to get defensive. I never told anyone what to do. And I never said anything they ARE doing is "wrong".
When did I suggest that?
Also, you may "get my point". But, apparently, others don't. If they did, they wouldn't be so bent out of shape.

Is your right to eat artichokes guaranteed in the constitution? This is equivalent to generators selling for $3000 after a storm. There are laws in place to stop that.
I could only wish.
I stopped going to hyatt's years ago.
Thats one theory. The other being that demand far outstrips supply and retailers are able to charge a higher price because the market will support it. If you have 50 people needing generators and there are 10 generators those who can afford to pay more WILL pay more.Generators are $3000 after a storm because the finite number of generators available at $700 prior to the storm sold out, and having a retailer rather than a distributor bringing additional generators from hundreds of miles away into a hurricane as most sensible people are evacuating means that the cost and risk of delivery increases.
risk of delivery increases.

In a world where most people care about nothing but themselves, do you leave a box or two for the next guy or do you just buy it all because if you donāt the next guy will.
Wouldnāt it be great if the man that had 10,000 rounds eased up a bit in his buying so the guy with 20 rounds had an opportunity to buy another 20.
Itās not how it works anymore.
The man with the most money and opportunities wins.
It becomes a game to most people, look at my score they will say, they donāt really āneedā it but they found it and you didnāt.
Trust me, Iām all about preparation. I have 5 freezers. I like to eat. Now they may be filled with venison and not āsteaksā but they are full.
I understand both sides of the argument. Could the shortage be shortened in duration by some self control, absolutely. In this day and age will there be any self control or hey I really donāt need this extra, Iāll let somebody else have some. It may happen occasionally but not enough to make a difference.

Bro,Too long didnāt read.
I have ammo and will continue to buy ammo when it makes sense to me, especially since I donāt need any. AND, I wonāt sell it either. If you are family of friends I would prefer to give it away than sell for what I paid or... for goodness sake price gouge.
