The clerk there said that they had a shipment come in last night and within the first three hours of opening today they sold out. The only thing left was the exotic calibers. He (the clerk) did not know when they were getting another shipment in.
Is this just a run on ammo by good guys?
Or, is it lag in production and the rising cost of metals?
Or is it a run on ammo by the BGs?
Or...?
Very strange; I haven't seen shortages like this in a very long time, if ever.
I'm no expert but from what I can tell, there is a lot of people stockpiling because they fear their ammo will be made illegal or taxed out of existance... Obama is selling a whole lot of AR 15s large capacity Mags, and tons of ammo.
