"...while the Army goes through roughly 350 per officer..."

If they are really meaning Army officers, not including enlisted, the numbers are meaningless.

By the way, I visited two gun shops yesterday, both had plenty 5.56 available, at 60 cents per round. (and yes, I know that's more than what we paid back in the day...)

Gander Mountain had 5.56 for $0.60/rd and .40s for $0.50/rd last week.

10 box aggregate limit on purchaes, though.

the y also greatly expanded their firearms section.

Over 2000 long guns, and 800 handguns.

Even a few dozen ARs that only lasted a day
