Hubby just took off for Walmart to see what ammo they still have in stock. I couldn’t find any 223 for him today, so he had to mail order it.<<<
I read this all over the country.
There is now a rumor that the Gov has asked Walmart and other importers to not import it and asked the foreign countries to not allow it to be shipped to the U.S.
I do not know what the truth is.

Part of what DelaWhere posted said that as well. I read that after going to Walmart, and then the weird reaction of the clerk in the ammo section made more sense. When asked about the .223 ammo, she said they sold all they had. And then when asked about when more would be in, she said it would be a long, long, long time. Usually, they either don't know or say in a couple of weeks. She was a bit for specific about not waiting around for it and yet vague about why. I thought it was weird but it didn't make sense until I read about imports being shut off. If that was what she meant....
