It’s going to be fun being the grassroots conservative opposition for the next 4 years. Obama and the leftist Democrat congress is going to give us a lot to work with.

Obama is not King. He can’t just make up laws, tho Presidents seem to have done so on a limited basis already.

Was at the big gun show at Richmond on Saturday and the crowd was surreal, whole world stocking up on ammo mainly.

I cannot believe anybody would be concerned over skeet shells, at least I hope not, and assume Wallies will go on selling that.

Call your friends that have connections to FFL dealers for bulk sales of ammo.

That’s what I’m doing....

Wal-mart Ammo Stock is not being replenished from their warehouse.

Where did you learn that?

I have been trying to get .38 special for months - this explains why the stores cannot get it.

People are buying ammo by the pallet count, it is insane. One of my friends work at a major sporting goods store. They are all out of ammo and shotguns. They've been getting big sales on hunting knives, walkie-talkies, and thermal wear too. It's not just the guns and ammo that's flying off the shelves, it's the other stuff that normally hunters buy. I really don't think Obama wants to go there. He doesn't know who he's dealing with and the history of this nation that many people cherish.

Newsflash: George from New England invents news based on tinfoil hat ravings.

I have inside information, both as a gunsmith/gunstore owner and as a spouse of a Walmart insider. The demand for ammo has kicked the manufacturers/distributors butts and the trucking problems have contributed to the supply chain problems.

You posit a claim, I challenge you to back up your claim, with facts.

Newsflash!
It ain’t just Walmart running low!

Spoke with dealers in the Northwest doing 8 months of typical volume in 1 month.

Shelves in Colorado only have less popular rounds like 10mm.

Obama may issue an executive order but it must be backed up by the Constitution or Congress. I see nothing he could hang such an EO on and make it stick. If there is no ammo it is because people are in a panic and buying like crazy. I have serious doubts as to whether Obama would even be so stupid as to issue such an order. It won’t happen, but I sure wish it would. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot.

You have this from what source?

Obama does not have the power to and will not ban guns. Anybody buying tons of guns and ammo should add some large amounts of tinfoil.

BTW, you want its, not it’s.

I bet it has more to do with Bentonvilles Insane and highly Annoying just in time shipments. The stores in general on all items are not well stocked and little of this and that is kept on hand. This would be as much true with ammo as it would be any other item.

About two years ago in case you didn't notice it Wally World closed down layaway. But they also removed one entire shelf store wide. Meaning one shelf level gone on almost every aisle. That in turn means less items on each shelf. It's one of their so called cost cutting measures by eliminating inventory in all stores stock rooms nationwide.

What the powers that be at Wally World Corp still can not seem to understand is the fact that if they don't have an item on the shelf then they can't sell it. While shopping I have seen a lot of angry people shopping in Wally World hunting for what should be werll stocked high volume sales items items they either move weekly or run out of on almost a daily basis till another truck arrives. The truck which may be that night or nest week with that item.

I was at a Wal-Mart in Geneva, Alabama this morning. I wasn’t specifically looking for ammo but did glance at the stock and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Maybe there was less than usual, if so not so much that it was noticeable.

Where did you get this info from? I have friends who work for Remington Arms Ammunition plant in Lonoke, AR and I haven’t heard anything about cuts to WalMart’s orders...

I noticed you have no source linked... so help us to be able to have some confidence in your claims.

There are a lot of good gun dealers but there are also a lot of ones who think everything they have is gold and everything you want to trade is trash.

When the first assault ban hit, I was sitting pretty in a way. I had three Colt H-Bars new in the box with the .22 conversion kit included. I also had numerous HK-91. SL-6, AK’s of several descriptions including the highly sought after Poly Tech.

I had just started Grad school and money was tight. I would go to a gun show where dealers were trying to get $2500 for well worn AR-15, and 1500 for ordinary AK’s. These same dealers would not pay me what had been the wholesale price of my guns before the ban. I was pretty desperate for cash and ended up selling one H-Bar for $600 to Gulf Breeze Pistol Parlor. They immediately marked it at $3000.

I ended up selling almost all of them to fellow students. Dealers who were trying to get $100 or more for ordinary Glock Hi-cap mags would not give me $20 for mine. I had several Smith & Wesson stainless steel 15 round mags brand new and simply couldn’t sell them. I still have them. I did sell one to an individual.

Dealers were simply using the situation to gouge the public. I still haven’t forgiven many of them.
