Armed revolution? Wow. Not saying you and Gunner are wrong but
yikes. No wonder I can't get primers.

That's probably only one of the reasons you can't find primers.
Another major drain is the war in the ME.

The war in the ME isn't a factor. There was no shortage before the
last election. Now people are hoarding and mfrs have cut back
production because they're worried about the current administration
imposing draconian restrictions on ammo and components. The shortage
is due to fear and uncertainty.

Well, that, too. I got the war shortage from a googled blog.

I got the same excuse from the store where I used to buy them. That
might explain shortage of small pistol primers and small rifle
primers, but not large pistol or large rifle. It isn't that they
shift production from one size to another because even now there's no
shortage of shotgun primers.

Thats because folks are buying up war caliber components to go with that
15 million firearms they sold since November.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
