Has anyone looked into where all this Federally-purchased ammunition is being warehoused, and oh, I don’t know, maybe made a map of the locations?
That isn’t what’s happening but, they are on an unrestrained buying spree.
Ah, so that explains why there is no Russian made 7.62x39 ammo available. /s
Ok...

Hhmmm...
Obama himself said that he would use whatever means necessary to control guns in the US. DHS buying up vast supplies of ammunition is just the start. The next shoe to drop will be the EPA cracking down on lead bullets and gun powder.
Last I heard, the feds were buying ammo in calibers that are not really used by LEO. .30 carbine, 30-30, .45LC, .22LR, 30-06. Strange...
if so, where did they obtain the budget authorization?
I'm not really worried about it, except I have curtailed my target practice unless I can reload.
I know a guy that owns the sole liquor store in a small village which is popular vacation destination seasonally. He buys liquor in $250k shipments. If I had a gun store, I think I’d do the same -what would it be worth to have that kind of stock, if for no other reason than to get people in the door for potential impulse buys.
Oh?
Is there a limited supply; or will the ammo companies just keep making as much as they can sell?
Starving only works if there is a limit.
Unless the GOV'T passes a law that says IT gets first dibs on it all, then we civilians WILL get all the ammo WE want; too!
Congress simply needs to declare it all surplus and sell it to the public in 1000 round blocks.
If we ever get a non-socialist into the Oval Office, I hope there is going to be one heck of a “government surplus” sale!
I’ve been beating that drum for months.
The term “infringed” was carefully chosen.
I’m shocked that no one has chosen to apply its use in reference to intentionally making ammunition scarce in conjunction with the use of psyops.
I have things that will launch whatever you can pound down the bore ahead of powder and patch.
