These guys better get hoppin’! Screw 24/7....I want some 57/50 like Obama do!
After seeing so many empty walls and empty shelves here in Jacksonville for the last few weeks, I today found a large sporting goods store with an impressive inventory of everything including ammo, high-cap mags and “tactical” rifles (though the $1300 price tag on a bare-bones Bushmaster kinda stung a little bit. Seems to be about $500 more than what they were pre Sandy Hook). The salesman said their prices were high because they kept a good stock during the “drought”, buying at the top of the bubble but he’s starting to see more inventory return so hopefully the prices will stabilize.
That 5% that they sell to the government should be the LAST 5% that they fill.
This whole shortage of gun related items is interesting and to me, surprising. I am 66 and have never seen anything like it.
I do recall a couple of times during Viet Nam when there was ammo shortages but neither time lasted very long. When the first assault weapon ban came along, there was some panic buying but again, nothing like this.
Maybe people know something I don’t but I just keep thinking the shortage will end and keep being wrong. I personally don’t need any but if I did it would really bother me.
His position has been from the git-go that it's US that are buying up all the guns-n-ammo. There are just so darn MANY of us that it has a major effect. And people who don't normally react to rumors (like my husband)are out there buying ammo with the rest.
You see the same thing with bread and milk when an ice storm threatens. Only this administration is MUCH more threatening than an ice storm, so people are buying a lot more,and they're buying it continually, every time Obama says or does some new outrageous thing.
Thanks for posting! Finally, some information from the source.
I toured the Hornady factory a couple of years ago. Anyone traveling on Interstate 80 through the middle of Nebraska owes it to themselves to do the same. It is VERY impressive. Tours were Monday thru Thursday.
Right now, I am just glad I handload — and cast a lot of my own bullets.
That Obama ain’t much of a president—or much of a human being for that matter—but he is one h$ll of a guns and ammo salesman.
When the DHS comes knocking, they should just say “NO, not until the people have first been served”.
Yeah, ditto. Thanks for posting credible info rather than blog posts filled with conjecture.
The forklift driver's cousin gets his ammo well before you do.
If America was physically invaded like a real war and every single person with a weapon needed ammo we would be screwed.
The ammo companies should be already on a war time footing regardless of what the government says. Its all about We The People.
We will fight for America if Obama won’t.
We need the ammo.
I wonder if McDonald’s could double their burger production overnight and still keep them in specification. We’re talking bullets here, not burgers.
does anybody work at a gun range, or know somebody that does?
a question for them, is a lot more ammo being used
than usual, for this time of year.
if the answer is no, the shortage will end
when everyone cycles thru their local gun store
and gets stocked up.
