That’s what I was getting at with hoarding. If there’s an abundance of something and someone chooses to hoard, then have at it. Put an unknown into the equation, like a pandemic or riots, then things start to become scarce and people still want to hoard. There’s definitely a psychological component to this. I think it’s wanting to have control over your situation. I stocked up on tp when the pandemic started but it was never truly out of stock except maybe at big box stores. Likewise with ammo, you can still get it but you’ll be hard pressed to find it at a LGS. For my needs I’m fully stocked on ammo, but there’s always that feeling of whether or not I have enough. Having enough of something is subjective as well. Do I have enough if we saw a complete breakdown in society? Or do I have enough for short term unrest? Don’t know and don’t really want to find out
