All kidding aside, maybe the NRA really should present him with an award. I just looked on Yahoo news and there were something like 10 pages of stories about how sales have been up since November. There was one guy who said he was doing what used to be a week's worth of business every day now.

I know a fella who is closing his doors because his suppliers are out of ammo AND guns. He's coasting on what he's got now but its over. Too bad. It was just down the road and he's a great guy.

Yeah, I was joking here that if business gets any better, we'll all end up with tin cups. Some mom & pops dealers have already gone under because they can't resupply. Most of our demand is for 2nd-hand stuff, so we haven't been as affected as some. Would be nice to have the option of ordering something directly though. All the wholesalers are completely denuded of any inventory that anybody wants. I can get some custom shop hardware and a couple of safari gun bullets for the time being, but that's about it. I can't even go to the range myself because I can't replace any ammo I might use.This sucks.

This is the idea. No revolution, no fighting back, cause what are you going to fight against? They have succeeded in disarming the citizenry by removing the supply. Dunno how it happened, but it did. We have the 2nd Amendment, but it does us no good when there is nothing to supply the weapons we have. They are little more than clubs at this point.

From those I talked to the demand is just so high right now is the only real problem. I mean we already know the gun sales are through the roof. Now everyone wants the bullets for those new guns and they want them in quantity for practice and stock.

I was just told they are manufacturing at a breakneck pace but demand still outstrips supply. Ammo should be like oil. Keep a few million rounds of each type in a warehouse against future need.

ETA: Ive cleaned out three stores of 45 ACP and that only leaves me with 250 rounds. A box here, a box there. Bare shelves everywhere else. And I was told when I bought my rifle the ammo wouldnt dry up like it did for 7.62. Well I cant find it anywhere now. The few hundred rounds I got left are reserved exclusively for BG use.

You can make charcoal at home. If it comes to that you can get sulfur under any old pile of dog poop. Saltpeter you can get from. i dunno, where the schools threw it out to make way for the viagra and condoms? there musst be a source somewhere, and there you have it black powder. And it takes very little skill to construct a zip-gun. DO THESE FOOLS THINK THEY WILL GET RID OF PRIVATE ARMAMENT?? Good golly Miss Molly.

Remember the "Beltway Snipers"? They did not really need an AR 15 clone. A crossbow could have done just as well and with less noise. How do you think the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto got the p.38s and MP40s they used to hold off Juergen Stroop's SS divisions for a month or better? At a gun shop?? No, they killed SS men and took the weapons using the non-firearm weapons they held.

An "ammo shortage" is tolerable, especially considering that if "the day" ever comes. an "ammo harvest" may be necessary. The thought sickens me, but there it is.

That poster was also on display at the Hampton, VA gun show a few weeks ago. As earlier mentioned, he should also get the second award for
