Michigan ammunition manufacturing company Fenix Ammunition announced a no tolerance policy relating to sales to Joe Biden voters on Thursday, sending left-wingers up in arms over the consequences of their own actions.
Customers who use Fenix Ammo’s website are asked to affirm that they didn’t vote for Joe Biden when making a purchase. The Novi company primarily sells ammunition online.
Fenix’s owners cited Biden’s pledge to criminalize online sales of ammunition as justification for the no tolerance policy. If Biden enacted such a gun control measure, it would destroy Fenix’s business, as well as many other smaller manufacturers of ammunition that lack the capability to compete with outdoors franchises. Guns and ammunition are one of the few industries in the country still defined by small and medium business, with globalist corporations notoriously opposed to the concept of everyday citizens owning guns.

The “Asshole Farmer” is every bit that. I went to his twatter feed. Now I gotta go take a shower and scrub myself with steel wool.
What an @$$hat.
I used to buy Fenix ammo at local (Michigan) gun shows. Right now their 9mm FMJ is going for $31-$34 for a box of 50, compared to $12-$14 a box before The Troubles. Ouch!
But their component prices are increasing, so they’re not gouging.
I did read that components are back logged as well.
Discrimination based on political party is not covered under the civil rights acts. You can deny even housing and jobs based on political party affiliation.
Good for them.
Political discrimination is perfectly legal, in NYC anyway. Upheld in court when a restaurant refused to serve folks with Trump hats.
NONE of the Constitution is still valid.
Stolen elections have consequences.
I don't know for sure what is happening outside of our little community, but I read prices are high everywhere.
Prices are triple at our local gun shop but I wouldn't say the owner is gouging. He simply can get replacement 9mm for $200 per thousand like he could 18 months ago. He is paying a big price wholesale and passing the costs to his customers - if they want to buy at the going rate.
It is supply and demand. The big reason for the demand is because a dictator has been selected to ruin - I mean run - the nation.
And I knew that was a possibility 18 months ago. I could kick myself for not mortgaging the farm and buying a car load of ammo. That is my fault.
I know that with the 22 ammo these guys were buying from Walmart. The managers would let them know when the shipments came in and they would be there first to purchase it at normal price. Take it to shows and triple price. Now the local stores are paying more and customers have to pay more. I stocked up and quit going to the range a while back so I could keep my supply. But always will get more. Need 223.. and wouldn’t mind 9mm.
Glad to see at least one business realized Leftism is contrary to the business model.
However, I cannot see a biden supported coming out and saying they voted for Trump and that he was a great president.
They would choke on the words.
I worked remodeling Walmarts and they had 2 boxes of 9mm on the display shelf, however, in the cages in the stockroom they had thousands of rounds.
Just doing what they can to keep prices up!
I know a business owner who is a big Trump supporter who charges his democrat customers more for his services.
Since he figures, rightly, that the taxes and other onerous regulations and fees are a result of democrat government, they should be the ones to pay for it.
“...I did read that components are back logged as well....’
One can find a few bullets and brass (high price though), but NO primers or powder anywhere...nada. There has been no primers available for months now. Powder is the same way.
About 5 weeks ago, an Academy store not too far from here must have found a pallet of small pistol primers in the back on in a warehouse somewhere. They limited the sale of em to 1 box/customer. The whole pallet was sold and gone in about 5 minutes. The demand is far outstripping the supply on everything right now.
I was buying there aluminum case 9mm for a while. I haven’t even checked in a while.
I wish 22lr was not being gouged. Some companies are wanting to charge 30 cents per round (cpr) for plinking grade and insane prices for a match grade ammo online. I’m getting late to the ammo game due to family request/ issues but I’m finding 12 cpr at local shops and near pre-COVID prices at the the big box stores when available.
A bit of a rant by me but its my pet peeve right now.
Get ready to pay. When the Sandy Hook shooting happened. My boss went one way and I went the other in our county and we hit every walmart and bought all we could find of 22. Wish I would have done it with other calibers. At the time we were shooting trap and plinking 22.
I work part time in a sporting goods store.
In 2019 our average shelf price for 9mm was $12.99
Our average shelf price now is $22.99 (when we can get it)
At the range I paid $30.
Neither the range or the store has increased their margin, the cost for everything is higher.
Our ammo shelves are stripped clean, even the off beat calibers are gone.
I’ve found that the OEM Glock barrels like FMJ and hollow points of almost all manufactured rounds. They never liked re-loads (or at least mine anyway.) After searching for a cure for this and a bunch of experiments. I dropped in an aftermarket barrel(Wilson combat) and a spring kit from the Glock store. It eats everything now. (1500+ rounds thru G19 gen4 )
