The Great DHS Ammunition Stockpile Myth
MYTH: Then why can’t I find ammo? What’s causing the shortage?
FACT: We’re causing the shortage. As an employee for a major firearms retailer, I can testify we receive shipments of the three highest demand calibers (9mm, .22 LR, and .223 Rem/5.56 NATO) at least 3-5 times weekly and in quantities far exceeding our normal shipments. We see as many as 1,000 boxes of ammunition disappear in as little as four hours. People are responding to the unknown with fear and hoarding of ammunition. Manufacturers are replenishing the shelves, but the civilian market is buying it too fast due to warranted (and unwarranted) concerns. Don’t believe me? Ask your dealers, or wait at a local Wal-Mart."
Dr. Coburn Releases Correspondence With DHS Regarding Ammunition Purchases
If we the American public now own 300 million guns, how many rounds do we need to buy for each gun to totally suck the supply out of the market and dwarf any DHS or even any military purchases? Do the math.
10 x 300,000,000 = 3,000,000,000
50 x 300,000,000 = 7,500,000,000
100 x 300,000,000 = 30,000,000,000
