Ammo Production
Academy Sports | 13 January 2021 | Self

Posted on 01/13/2021 7:07:42 AM PST by ShadowAce

So I had an understanding that the local Academy Sports received its trucks on Mondays and Wednesdays so I headed over there this morning to stand in line to purchase some ammo.

The manager of the store came out and told us that the truck is due in tomorrow (Thursday) and that he has no ammo today.

THEN, he said that tomorrow's truck will be the last ammo resupply for him for several weeks. He said that ammo production has been halted as of last Friday (January 8th) due to two reasons : a couple of sources stopped due to COVID, but most have stopped due to an EO that has not been made public.

Anyone here heard of this?

So you only have a few hundreds rounds.

And people that had for-sight to have more are hoarders.

What is the correct number to have before one is considered in your mind not to be a hoarder.

It is nothing for a active shooter to fire 10’s of thousands of rounds a year in just practice.

Those that you want to kill and steal from might object to in a strong fashion.

They might even have better skills then some one that only had the fore-sight to only have a few hundred rounds.

If you’re a hoarder, you know it, no guessing.

I respectfully disagree.

People who complain about "hoarders" mostly seem to be those who were unwilling to build a private stockpile when ammo was easily and cheaply available two years ago.

I know several people who have over 100,000 rounds. They acquired the ammo when it was cheap and plentiful. Their acquisition only kept the factories pumping out ammo at high levels.

It did nothing to prevent other people from getting ammo.

My son-in-law said the line at his Academy on Monday at 7 am was around the store and ammo sold out quickly. Same thing occurred today except sold out by 9:00 am.
