A random analogy

It occurred to me that shopping for ammo these days is a lot like shopping for soap was in the Soviet times. You have to go to several stores to find any and when you do find it there may be an "X per customer" limit...

I can live without soap, not ammo...

I wondered what that smell was..... I have Elmerfuddem on "Ignore", so I knew it couldn't be him...

BTW - In Soviet Russia, ammo chooses YOU komrade, and not the other way around!!

I remember being in former Yugoslavia on vacation in 1984 when they were still under a Socialist regime. Big government owned food stores with nothing on the shelves. We were in there when they had received a sizeable shipment of hamburger meat and everybody was standing in line to get some of that. If the storekeeper didn't like you for some reason, you didn't get anything. He would flatout, in your face state that there wasn't anything left while the meat was laying there, behind glass under the counter for everybody to see. The next in line would be OK in the eyes of the guy and get as much as they wanted... surreal but true. And I think that analogy is valid with the current ammo situation in the US too.
