Want an AR? That Will Be Tough

Fortunately, the People Whose Lives Matter to me already have their weapon(s) of choice for home defense.  RenMan has bad news for those of you who don't.

Those wanting to buy defensive firearms and ammunition are having enormous difficulty finding what they want right now.  Most suitable firearms have been bought, to the point that many dealers can't get replacement stocks. ...

He mentions a DFW area retailer who is sold-out and doesn't expect re-supply until Fall.

Then he runs an interesting quote from Tamara of Indy:

Available evidence shows that there are a large number of first-time buyers looking for something to defend home and hearth, rather than existing gun hobbyists adding a twelfth or thirteenth AR15 to an existing collection....
As to ammo, you will not easily find popular handgun-stuff (.38, .375, 9mm, .40, or even .380) laying around begging for buyers.  Another gun-blogger has mentioned that if you intend to go hunting, get your 6.5, .30-06, .243, or .308 NOW, because the ammo guys are likely to short-run that in order to get back to handgun (and .223) as soon as possible............AFTER the copper shortage is resolved.......

Hmmmm.
