2) Most gun owners have difficulty finding ammo.
3) It turns out the government is in fact about to go around killing right-leaning citizens and rounding up the rest into work camps.

"Smart" preppers need to start selling some of their overstock to likeminded folks.
” A relatively small number of “smart” preppers hoard much of the ammo.”
A couple thousand rounds of this or that is not hoarding. A hundred or two 12 or 20 ga slugs is not hoarding.
If I could buy a couple thousand rounds of this or that at reasonable prices, I would take it to a gun show and profit from it.
