Yep, by placing the contracts for five years worth of ammo (the ‘billion rounds’ stories being spread around) it creates a bottleneck in the system as manufacturers have to set aside enough to fulfill the contracts first. The billion rounds in contract doesn’t even mean the government is taking delivery on them, it just means they are putting in contracts to lock up the manufacturers who got into those contract situations.

It also has hurt everyone else in the supply chain as primer shortages are hurting every manufacturer, even those who don’t fulfill government contracts.

What about that ammo contract with a company in... what was it New Mexico, Arizona or wherever... that never existed? You can’t tell me the usurper isn’t playing a deadly game. Who’s pocket did that $$$ go into and what exactly was bought?
