Re: Is Ammo Craze Getting Better?

Yes, I was at my Academy here in Austin the other day. They moved all the "hard to get ammo" to the customer service section. I was expecting not to see anything on the shelves, but they had a pretty good supply of 223, 9mm, and 45's. Unfortunately they regulate how much you can buy. The guy handing out the ammo reminded me of a dictator not wanting to give bread to the starving folks. I think it was the most important job he had ever had in his entire life. Only one box of ammo per caliber, up to 3 boxes total. Fortunately I was there with my grandpa and we only needed 2 boxes of 9mm.

The funny thing was, as soon as we started buying, people were like "oh hey maybe I should buy some ammo too..." and it started flying off left and right. The ammo and mag prices on Gunbot.net are coming down in price as well. I think there is a ton of oversupply in peoples possessions and a lot of angry wives looking at last months statement. I would concur that by next month, baring any crazy legislation or lunatic murdering more people, that it will be back to normal.
