So, I was at the Fredericksburg Gun Show today and picked up a Ruger LCP. There was only one vendor at the show that had any .380 left, but his prices seemed a bit high. So, I figured I'd go to Wal*Mart to buy it instead...
Well, I get to my local Wal*Mart in northern VA and find their ammo shelves bare, minus a bunch of CCI 9mm, .40, and .45. I get to talking to the cashier at the sports counter and he mentioned something about the warehouse they get their ammo from saying that "the government" bought 70% of the warehouse's ammo stock.
It struck me that someone was alleging that the government was buying up ammo stock and I was wondering if there were any truth, beyond speculation, that these types of purchases are really happening.
