If the shoe fits... You're the guys paranoid enough to believe that the govt is out to get you and your guns. Everyone is hysterically running to the nearest store to buy up guns and ammo, which is driving up the prices and drying up the supply. Good thing I stocked up over a period of several months last year, because the shelves are kind of sparse here now.
The only ones that are running around hysterical are those who don't have a gun and have come too the realization that there may be another more permanent assault weapons ban, with an ammo restriction, And that just pisses the anti gun nutters off so badly, because they can't stop people from buying guns and ammo right now. I love it, I get too meet new people and make new friends. You really don't want gun owners gathering together in one centerralized location making plans together now do you?
One more thing
Yes it is market driven
1. The government order billions and Billions and BILLIONS of rounds.
2. Other countries are also ordering lots of ammo
3. those who have never owned a firearm are finally getting a firearm, need ammo
4. and yes people like me who just don't think they have enough ammo.
5. Ammo manufactures had shut down November and December
It's what they called a perfect storm. Six months is what it will take to get back too normal market stock
NOW SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE **** UP YOU ARE FINISHED HERE.
