Re: Major Ammo "Shortage"
So... Ammo producers are shooting themselves in the foot for the love of money?

Can't refuse insanely large orders by the agencies and supply to the citizens first.

It's the American way... or ~was~.

Re: Major Ammo "Shortage"
I work for the US's largest producer and distributor of tactical hand gun ammunition, ask me a question.

No seriously, our projections for back order, and new contracts with global alphabet agencies is a jaw dropper. I feel like I'm working for satan, or at least satan's bottom bitch.

Ammunition is not being squeezed/pinched from the shelves, it is literally being purchased by the public at theses shelf clearing speeds. Along with guns.

We are 5.6 billion rounds back ordered (these are paid orders) for 22LR alone. That's roughly 3 1/2 years of 24 hr production of product, we are behind.

Don't get me started about 40S&W or 5.56
All going to DSHS and ICE

Chilling thought

Ammunition producers are now in the back pocket of the PTB, and business is booming.

Re: Major Ammo "Shortage"
Covet your greenbacks, polish your PMs, and stack you canned goods, but ammunition will be quite an acceptable currency sooner than you think (in my ignorant opinion). It can only be produced at a finite rate of speed. And that rate can't put a dent in rate of recent sales, and the fact that the oppressors get first dibs on all production.

The only .22lr that Dicks or Bass Pro had today was rat shot. No fucking primers ANYWHERE except Gunbroker and those vultures want 2 to 3x the going price.
I'm tired of waiting, somebody push the damn button already!

I went to Gander Mtn, no handgun ammo period. Went on Cheaper Than Dirt, all but 1 overpriced brand of 9mm out of stock. Went to Bass Pro Shop and both the ammo and handgun racks shelves were almost bare. Employees had no clue when or if more would be available. wtf

Let me know if your state is any better, I am in IL!

Re: Major Ammo "Shortage"
I saw this coming(a bit late..oct. 2012) and got about $1000 worth of .223, .22, .40 and .38spcl. I stopped shooting them about 2 1/2 months ago when shit got real witht the shortage. I still hear alot of folks around here (Central NC) shooting and i wonder how much they've got stored up if they're out blasting round off all saturday.

With the hype over gun bans/new laws, I think it's a way of everyone sayin:' Yeah I got guns...try and take them! I wis they'd save their ammo for when they really need it to save our town/state.

Q:How do you hide the fact that Warren Buffet and his ilk have bought up many gun and ammo companies and are now NOT going to supply the Enemy public with Ammo and many types of guns to defend themselves?

A:You make it look like people are panic buying guns and ammo and then you drop the supply to almost nothing so people will clean the shelves bare in seconds after a shipment hits them.

The Satanicly owned ammo and gun companies go into hyperdrive providing ammo to the Gov and Foreign troops that Will be used to contain and kill all who resist the New World Order and profess freedom and liberty.

You would think, hell, that's the thought process I subscribe to. But it's not playing out that way. No expansion in sight, (nothing substantial anyway). If the corporations sales is up (and it is) and the PTB are stuffing money down the pants of said corp, that the average Joe gets to kick rocks. It's not like the corp is concerned about doubling in size over night to stalk Cabelas and Sportsmans Warehouse. You know?

There is all kinds of ammo on gunbroker.com If you don't mind paying double or triple for it. Reloading supplies on there too, as primers are in short supply again. Supply and demand..but it can be had.

I've hoped against hope that this theory was wrong. Pinned my dreams on its debunkers.

Alas, I cannot divorce my mind from the simple logic of it.

I honestly believe that ammunition is purposefully being purchased by the fedgov to keep it out of the public's hands.

Let's hope they're simply planning to withstand an angry public, rioting furiously over the vapors of what was the economy. Let's hope they're not planning to "round us up" / confiscate firearms in a Stalinist takeover.
