In the event of an actual societal collapse I think most people are overly optimistic about how many rounds they would be able to get off before catching one too many. I was fortunate to hit the Walmart pretty hard when they stopped selling pistol ammo and it was all on sale. I started hording it during the last shortage! I am surprised you haven't had that there. Maybe not enough legal gun owners to buy it all up?

Yes, there's only about a million or so licensed firearms owners I think, and I'd say less than 30% have handguns, probably much less. So, there's not a huge drain on handgun ammunition. Having said that, the amount imported would be less also, in proportion with demand so shortages will still hit in some manner.

I got mine the other day so I'm all good. Some more will make it's way into my possession too shortly.

there was something like 5 million first time gun owners in America just in 2020 and they all want bullets. If they only get 100 each that's 500,000,000 rounds.

Yep, someone told me that only last week. Something like 7m new gun owners across 20m new guns. Crazy. But then, we have 25m people and you have something like 320m. Big difference.

I was watching a game show hosted by a British host the other day and guns came up and all the contestants had guns and he was like "Of course, we're in America!"

Yeah, seems like something someone would say.
