That's what is unique about America. The Constitution supersedes all laws either federal or state. Whenever a conflict arises between what's written in The Constitution and a federal or state statute the former takes precedence. Moreover, changing The Constitution is notoriously difficult.

"The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. "
Given the current political climate in the US I would argue you have a better chance of winning the power ball lottery than getting two thirds of the House and Senate to agree on a Constitutional amendment. I mean you can't even get them to agree on how to disagree!
Lmao....well said.... HOWEVER....both your government and mine no matter what side they sit on.....are now Tree hugging, Vegans, who have never held a gun....GUNS BAD, No need guns,GUNS KILL PEOPLE! It's ONE THING the majority can agree one in today's world....but Gee Whiz....guns also save people.That's what is unique about America. The Constitution supersedes all laws either federal or state.

This is very true. It happened to me years ago. I learned my lesson.
Too few people understand how the supply chain actually works and it's true scale. The majority of people are the "Apple should just make their phones in the US" people. Anyone who has spent any real time in manufacturing knows why it's not that simple.
From the mining of elements through transportation of raw materials, importation, to manufacturing of components, packaging, then distribution and finally commercial sale amd everything in between. There are several dozen moving parts at minimum in that "organism" for lack of a better term. Any slowdown or stoppage anywhere in that chain creates market disruption. The more slowdowns or stoppages in that chain, the larger the disruption and the longer the effects remain. In the matter at hand, we literally had issues at the mining stage and it just cascaded from there... therefore unprecedented disruption. Add to that; social unrest and skyrocketing demand... you see where this is going.
Think of it this way in everyday terms; how many of us have been traveling on a highway and encountered a traffic slowdown or stoppage? We creep along, creep along, we pass the incident(s) and finally we get going again. This COVID-19 issue was the equivalent of a complete major interstate freeway shutdown, but on an international scale. It will take time for "traffic" to get moving again. It doesn't happen as soon as the incidents get cleared. It just doesn't. In order to recover it takes relaxed demand <laughter> and no further disruption.
My personal opinion based on what I see in my manufacturing related job every day, the effects will be felt for at least a year. Two, honestly, would not be a stretch IMHO.

Okay, tell me one thing: If you can work 40% of your life in this country, why can't 40% of the people in this country even work at all? How's that for a head-scratcher?
Yes, all that you say is correct, however, do not forget the power of an Executive Order. And If we lose the Senate in January, there will be new legislation that will blind-side the staunchest of liberals. Socialism will dominate and we will all lose basic freedoms. Or, am I wrong?That's what is unique about America. The Constitution supersedes all laws either federal or state.

Working for Canadian based companies my friend! About 40% will be unemployed here any day now as well!Sad to say for all of us!
I am sorry to hear that, too. I was actually talking about the 40% that never have worked and never will work. There is something not quite right about that.
Noted! Have a great evening!

Hi, I have just purchased 3 bricks of primers for approximately $50 usd each, no shortage here with powder or primers, strangely we are short of 410 ammo? I think once trade gets back to normal between us(Australia) and the USA, it should help your situation as IDA sells heaps to you normally (Covid aside).
Just be careful about your gun rights, look at how the politicians took our guns and now it's a nightmare to purchase guns here in Australia.
Good luck and keep them guessing.

I didn't know that we could have extra of anything gun related. I'm speaking for myself of course, but I don't have any extra of anything, seems like we may need everything we have on hand for future engagements that might arise in the coming months and years
