“Aren’t they buying massive quantities of guns and ammo to create a shortage for citizen gun owners?”
That’s really not how economics works. Guns and ammo are relatively simple products to manufacture, since they don’t require any exotic materials. So, if they tell ammunition manufacturers that they want to buy 1.6 billion rounds over an extended period of years, then the manufacturers are just going to scale up production to meet the new demand.
If there’s an ammunition shortage, it’s because of increased panic buying on the part of the public, which is an unexpected drain on the supply that manufacturers couldn’t account for ahead of time.
The rest of these kooks apparently didn't even click on the live link to see the actual numbers for the past 3 years. Not a one of them noted that DHS ammo purchase have actually declined the past three years. Yes, DECLINED.
Anyone know of a book that could improve my ability to deal with stupid people? Stupid is as stupid does. These folks don't have a clue about what they don't know.
