Ammo shortages - I mean really...

[Guest jos2f]

Why on earth would you offer a logical reason when you could knee-jerk react emotionally and call people names instead?

Sorry, I mean "You're all idiots, It's a free country people can do whatever they want. I don't judge you for being ugly, don't judge me for buying ammo"

I buy calibers I do not have when I see it in case my friends want it. And I do not clean out the shelf. I always leave some.

Went to dicks today and they had a ton of 40. I almost bought a case but I don't have one. Would like to get one but not right now.

For the sake of knowledge, someone post that picture!

I did a google image search of "TN Vol chick" I think it was, found some pretty interesting stuff, but not that chick

Yeah... we should find a large governing body to limit things like that so all citizens have equal access to ammo, regardless of location, time one is willing to spend looking, etc.. That would be way better.

You and me both. Although I don't necessarily remember it having the TN Vol on the shirt.

[Guest SUNTZU]

There was a shirt?

[catsbackr]

How many people like us do you know who don't have at least 10 times as much ammo today than they had last year?

Thus, the shortage.

[Mike.357]

I told him about the ammo shortage and that is as far as it goes on this message board.

You all are out of luck.

[Guest B J Elliott]

I can give you all the answers if you post up a full size copy of your avatar.

LOL man you just aint right!! BJ:D

[Mike.357]

y'all really want to know why there is no ammunition around?

You sure you are ready to know?

[Guest SUNTZU]

Here comes the pain!

[Mike.357]

You bunch of freakin morons. Here ya go.

Ammo is near impossible to get because of everyone is buying every last box that is for sale anywhere. You go to ______________ ( insert bullet store here) and if they have ten boxes of 9mm you buy it. If they have a case of .380 you buy it. If they have ten boxes of Remington Golden Bullet you buy it. If you do not buy it all yourself, then the 93 other gunners who come through the bullet store right behind you buy it. Repeat this process daily. It is pretty darn simple to see why there are no bullets anywhere.

Add to the above rinse and repeat cycle you have tens of thousands of new gun owners. They are all freaked out and trying to buy ammo.

This is not rocket science, but rather supply and demand. The demand has out run the supply.

Quit buying every bullet that is not nailed down and there will be some available, just like in the old days.

You remember the old days. Go to Walmart and there was always a fair supply of 9mm, .40S&W, .45Auto, .22 LR in a bulk pack. People were happy to have a few boxes on hand. When was this? Just last summer?

Now that the evil Obama has been elected everyone freaked out and went bullet grubbing crazy. No longer was three boxes of Value Pack ammo enough. Now everyone has to have ten boxes. It goes on and on and on. Never ending cycle.

So there you have it. I bet you are all disappointed. There is no magic solution to this. Basically quit buying more than you are shooting this week and the supply will build back up again.

Just remember, the next time you find ammo. Don't buy it all. Buy two boxes like you used to. Leave some for the next guy.

( And take my opening line in this post in the tongue in cheek way it was meant, you bunch of morons )

And.....People are buying ammo for guns they don't even own!

Unfortunately it's become an addiction. It's Crack, Man!
