Know what I find far more incredible?

That Republicans are not demanding answers.

Once again the Republicans are cowering off in the corner, ever afraid of a Democrat the MSM calling them a nut. And the Democrats walk all over them like a door mat ever threatening that they might sneak up behind these Republicans and shout, “BOO”.

When money becomes “printable” in practically unlimited quantities, it can be used by government as a weapon through otherwise free markets. That is, until the paper becomes worthless like in Zimbabwe...

Maybe it’s time they started to step up and keep their oaths to the Constitution.

AmmunitionStore.com and CTD are pretty much sold out of 9 mm, .308, and 7.62x39 and very low on .40 and .45. I bought .40 and .45 recently for over $1/rd.

Not for 68 grain match-grade boat-tails. He's not shooting an old Colt .36. ;)

The shelves sure are empty at Walmart.

My local Walmart has not had any common caliber ammo since late last summer.

They have a few dusty boxes of bird shot and some odd caliber stuff that looks like surplus from the siege of Khartoum.

That's it.

And the manager says he has no idea when they will recieve an ammo shipment.

Ammo shelves in many places have been empty for months and months.
I thought I saw a thread yesterday where they had the beotch up before Congress to answer for the hug ammo purchases and it absolutely refused to answer their questions. It should have been sent to jail for contempt of Congress.

He's looking for match grade. Some things are better purchased from a factory that has the equipment.

It still could be the 1973 toilet paper shortage syndrome.

For several weeks, people perceived (due to a joke by Johnny Carson) a shortage so bought up every bit of toilet paper as it was delivered to stores, perpetuating the perception of shortage.

My hubby uses them to cast balls for his black powder rifle but they aren’t much use for anything else. The weights have too much other junk in them. Makes it too hard and will tear up your weapon. Could be used in an absolute emergency I suppose.

With no budget they spend on their own secret agenda and perks....House has failed us by letting “ no budget” become the norm.

It was THE PLAN from the start. They can’t outlaw guns, so they disrupt the ammo supply by buying up all the product..........

No tin foil hat necessary. This was intentional. This was deliberate. This was planned. This is treason.......
