Force retailers to prevent panic buying during a national crisis by rationing

Petition Details

Panic buying can be a self fulfilling prophecy, as people buy in panic, to avoid missing out when others panic buy. Retailers could stop this if they limit sales to x/customer, legislate so government can trigger this action in times of crisis.
