You should buy a 9mm carbine instead! It will give enough velocity to expand the Gold Dots, and be great fun to shoot! You can justify it as "Home Defense."

For the first time I can remember, canning jars are impossible to find. Used to be you couldn't give them away.
Try the dollar store. I just got a can there.. for a dollar.I mentioned a while back I gave up trying to buy some damn oven cleaner. Wanted to give the grill a good scrub. None of the stores here had it. Finally gave up and ordered some from Amazon. Sure I probably paid twice what it would have been if I could have found it but no one here seemed to be getting any
This is a result of decades of letting almost everything we buy be made in China. When supply gets interrupted like this it takes a good long while to fill the line back up. The longer stuff is not on the shelf the faster people grab it when they see it. Problem then feeds on itself.

Just one?Bolt action rifles will fly off the shelves if Biden wins, how many here have one?

Hoarder and panic buy mentality never pans out for a simple reason, as old as the study of economics itself:
Supply, demand, markets, and prices.
Things always balance out when we're talking about commodities that aren't supply side constrained. Toilet paper isn't supply side constrained. We had shortages due to a short-lived panic buying scenario, but we have plenty of production capacity and materials that filled that gap. Firearms and ammunition are also not supply side constrained. Plenty of raw materials and manufacturing capacity.
The only situation where my argument is wrong is a true SHTF scenario where supply chains are damaged long-term or irreparably. It hasn't happened in my lifetime. Maybe someday. Or maybe long after I'm gone. Nobody knows, and if someone says they do, they have a monetary incentive to tell you that.
Weekly Costco trip this past weekend. No tp or paper towels again. Did I miss the panic again?
