>normal people do this too. who do you think is buying up all the ammo before elections?

The people behind the prepping industry are just affiliate marketers for the most part.




Errr, it's a lot more complicated than that. People in the US have been buying up ammo at > 10 billion (thousand million) rounds/year rates for more than a decade now (US civilian production is > 12 billion/year, which doesn't count imports and not, I think, surplus and seconds from Lake City production), and I haven't noticed big movements before elections (after, for sure).
