Even the USMC is running short of ammo. Do you think they are being victimized by gougers?
DemshateGod...I do appreciate your frustration and I respect your opinion.
I am also p!ssed. But this shortage is pure supply and demand...it isn't due to gouging.
BTW, everything I read online says that the ammo plants are working 24/7 to fill the demand...but the demand is simply outstripping supply.
I have heard some odd rumors and even from my local Walmart that they are upset with the in store purchases and hoarding where the dock managers are buying the stock much like an office pool with other employees and then selling the stock online and splitting the profits.
So to counter this shipments for the most part are being restricted and soon they will just send in a mass load of aisle filling pallets and with security on hand and purchase limits will then sell. Our local WM in Alaska does that all the time, they get a massive inventory dump on the store about once a month, its cheaper to ship in bulk at one time instead of a constant daily restocking.
When I went to the local gouger’s shop a few weeks ago, their shelves were full. Everything was doubled in price. There’s a shop in town that few people know about because he only opens on Saturday and he has plenty of stuff and good prices.
If you watch gunbot, you’ll see tons of stuff going in stock, then it disappears quickly. I don’t believe this is caused by Jack Smart buying ammo for his stash. I think guys like CTD have someone watching the websites, standing in line at the stores, buying all of Midway’s stock for .50/round and selling it to us for 1.50 per round.
