“Eight-five percent of gun sales are to first-time buyers.”
WOW!
Our family (dad, two brothers, and uncle and mom) went to a local gun show Saturday. There was ammo to be had by the pallet load if you wanted it. Stuff like 30 carbine was going for $24/50rds as an example and lots of it (made in Montana) - after we all went to Cabela’s and there were hundreds of boxes of .223 at anywhere from $18 to $22 per box. The gun cases had so many people around it that the staff had to use numbers to call customers. It was really packed. We’re out here in Washington. I read where most of the lack of ammo is in the East ....can’t fathom the difference between the West and the East ....

Has anyone heard what the ammo/component makers are doing to aleviate the shortage?
There have been over 7 million NICS firearms background checks done since Nov ‘08 (5 months), which represents an astronomical spike in gun sales.
If we’ve added over 7 million new guns to the streets, where’s the corresponding rise in crime?
I thought we’ve been told that more guns = more crime, blood in the streets, etc.
Save your shells and don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes. Good advice then...good advice now!
I was in the Mesquite, NV Wal-Mart yesterday and their shelves for the most part were bare. They had a sign up advising that they are aware of the shortage and that their buyers are doing the best they can. Someone, either staff or a customer, wrote underneath, “Don’t sell all of one type ammo to one customer when it comes in.”
Interesting times.
Must be some back-handed Obama gun control. WalMart had only .40 and a few boxes of oddball stuff.
