Went to law school to go clean out my locker. Our semester is officially online for the remainder. Here's where it gets interesting. I saw a fellow law student who works at a FFL in Hope Valley, RI. He hasn't slept in four days. They sold 60,000 rounds of ammo on Saturday (3/14/20 for future readers). Piles of guns sold in the backroom.
The vast majority of the buyers are low information gun owners looking for one or two boxes of ammo.
My expectation is that because this is mostly the low information people buying ammo, who still think Dick's and Wal-Mart are viable ammo options, they'll stop frenzy buying sooner than what happened in 2012-2013. They either don't know about online ammo or won't be able to find any. So once stuff gets back in stock around a month out, they'll have their one box of ammo that isn't even the right caliber and will be content. Could be wrong, but this panic is mostly driven by people who aren't "in the know" or competitive shooters or people afraid of a second coming of a national assault weapons ban.
