For those who don't remember/were too young, said shortage was *completely artificial*. Nobody reduced making ammo. Obama didn't come take the bullets away.
Rather, a retarded and psychotic fear of DER GUN DUN GAWN TAH TERK MA GERNZ MUH SEKINT AMUNDERRRRRRRRRR made retards buy up all the ammo they could.
What ended up happening was that the retired Boomer fags would literally camp out at Walmart waiting for the truck to show up, then dump the *entire* shelf of ammo into their cart. They'd push the cart two feet outside, double the price, and demand people pay it. Since they had literally nothing else to do, they got all the stock before anyone else. Walmart barely raised prices at all (because the shortage was fake).
Because gun owners are *>frankly<* generally stupid as utter fuck, they absolutely kept buying into this scam until they finally ran out of money to piss away on an imaginary and totally artificial "shortage", leaving the Boomers with too much inventory, and the prices finally began to settle.
This lasted for two fucking years and even ammo like .22LR never really went back to where it was.
Basically, greedy (((capitalist))) gun owners did more to fuck over the gun community than Obama did in his entire 8 years. It's honestly surprising more people never talked about how fucking stupid the whole thing was.
It's a perfect example of why capitalism is shit without *intense* regulation. "Muh free market" doesn't apply. The ideal of capitalism is that everybody in the supply chain is providing goods and services. However, in the case of the ammo shortages, the Boomers all tried to justify it by saying it was 'muh free market' and acted like they were providing a service, yet, they contributed absolutely nothing to the supply chain. They didn't get the ammo to anyone faster, or it was better quality ammo, or anything. You just had to pay double because you had to pay double.
If that's the free market then the free market is for faggots. And it's why, to bring it back to OP's post, home ownership needs to be strictly regulated. Any kind of *non-human* entity should be forbidden from owning any kind of land that isn't some sort of industrial/commercial/agricultural in nature, and even those should be tightly controlled. People owning multiple houses as 'investments' get all their houses but one taken away (they aren't paid either, since that's their punishment for being jews).
Homes are for people, not bankers and landlords.
