Anonymous Coward User ID: 10743044 United States 03/18/2013 06:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work for the US's largest producer and distributor of tactical hand gun ammunition, ask me a question. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24311504 No seriously, our projections for back order, and new contracts with global alphabet agencies is a jaw dropper. I feel like I'm working for satan, or at least satan's bottom bitch. Ammunition is not being squeezed/pinched from the shelves, it is literally being purchased by the public at theses shelf clearing speeds. Along with guns. We are 5.6 billion rounds back ordered (these are paid orders) for 22LR alone. That's roughly 3 1/2 years of 24 hr production of product, we are behind. Don't get me started about 40S&W or 5.56 All going to DSHS and ICE Chilling thought Ammunition producers are now in the back pocket of the PTB, and business is booming. my last post was in response to this one. |

It can only be produced at a finite rate of speed. And that rate can't put a dent in rate of recent sales, and the fact that the oppressors get first dibs on all production. |

No fucking primers ANYWHERE except Gunbroker and those vultures want 2 to 3x the going price. I'm tired of waiting, somebody push the damn button already! Keep your 72 virgins, give me one old biker chick. |

Went on Cheaper Than Dirt, all but 1 overpriced brand of 9mm out of stock. Went to Bass Pro Shop and both the ammo and handgun racks shelves were almost bare. Employees had no clue when or if more would be available.

Reckless Driver User ID: 36457487 United States 03/18/2013 06:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw this coming(a bit late..oct. 2012) and got about $1000 worth of .223, .22, .40 and .38spcl. I stopped shooting them about 2 1/2 months ago when shit got real witht the shortage. I still hear alot of folks around here (Central NC) shooting and i wonder how much they've got stored up if they're out blasting round off all saturday. With the hype over gun bans/new laws, I think it's a way of everyone sayin:' Yeah I got guns...try and take them! I wis they'd save their ammo for when they really need it to save our town/state. |

If the corporations sales is up (and it is) and the PTB are stuffing money down the pants of said corp, that the average Joe gets to kick rocks. It's not like the corp is concerned about doubling in size over night to stalk Cabelas and Sportsmans Warehouse. You know? |

Quoting: obviously 6302433 A:You make it look like people are panic buying guns and ammo and then you drop the supply to almost nothing so people will clean the shelves bare in seconds after a shipment hits them.

I've hoped against hope that this theory was wrong. Pinned my dreams on its debunkers. Alas, I cannot divorce my mind from the simple logic of it. I honestly believe that ammunition is purposefully being purchased by the fedgov to keep it out of the public's hands. Let's hope they're simply planning to withstand an angry public, rioting furiously over the vapors of what was the economy. Let's hope they're not planning to "round us up" / confiscate firearms in a Stalinist takeover. |
