Guns And Ammo Production Maxed Out: “This Is A Society Preparing For War”

President Barack Obama is, arguably, the best gun salesman ever. Over 65 million guns have been purchased since the President took office in 2009. FBI background check statistics indicate that, over the last twelve months, Americans purchased a new gun every 1.5 seconds, a figure which suggests there is much more to the recent panic buying than people just stocking up to go hunting or sports shooting.
The following guns and ammo industry report indicates that every major gun and ammunition manufacturer in the country is running at 100% capacity, with many so far behind that they’ve stopped taking new orders altogether.
Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.
RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days.
FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out!
Armalite: Maxed out.
DPMS: Can’t get enough parts to produce any more product.
COLT: Production runs increasing weekly…bottle necked by Bolt carrier’s.
LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity…can’t get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.
Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind.
AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.
MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.
RELOADERS… ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra’s for reloading purposes… it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted…
Many who have exercised their Second Amendment protections are first time buyers concerned with Federal and State gun grabs being spearheaded by politicians who are using the Sandy Hook school shooting as a pretext to restrict access to personal defense rifles, larger capacity magazines, and even ammunition.
But this may only be a part of why there’s so much demand. There are millions of Americans who are genuinely concerned with not just the government taking their guns, but all of their other Constitutionally protected freedoms as well.
We understand what happens in regimes that disarm their people. We’ve seen the democide of the last century, which left hundreds of millions of people dead or displaced when their governments turned on them.
We are determined to prevent it from happening in the land of the free.
Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand.
It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20—were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone.
This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.

With over 300 million firearms in America in the hands of private citizens, the people are sending a loud and clear message to their government.
Back off. Stop encroaching on our personal liberties. Limit yourself to your Constitutionally granted powers and nothing more.
You’re not the only ones that are armed.
“WOLVERINES!”
“HONEYBADGERS”!!!!
If those LA cops are any indication they might need about 40 shots for every patriot.
Or preparing to avert one. Depends on one’s perspective.
If you're not familiar with the Battle of Helm's Deep, in the movie, Aldor, this gentleman, holds his arrow waveringly and eventually loses his grip and launches the first shot against the orcs.
It's only a matter of time. The nation is truly on pins and needles.
The military are our sons and daughters.
The Police are our neighbors.
The Department Of Homeland Security lives in their mother’s basement.
I think we’ve got the edge for the Civil War V2.0 that 0bama is fomenting.
And I've got a thing or two to say. You'll be able to hear me at 500 yards. Bring it.
This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.
This article been debunked.
In fact, people associated with Smith & Wesson have scoffed at this blog’s claim that they can only produce ~300 guns per day.
Back off. Stop encroaching on our personal liberties. Limit yourself to your Constitutionally granted powers and nothing more.
Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, don't appear to be listening - and those just the states I've read about today... the jury is still out on what the Fed will try!
That didn't stop them mistaking a blue Nissan for a grey Toyota, and shooting it up because two little old hispanic ladies look soooo much like a large, middle-aged black man.
I don't trust local LEO.
They hire by quotas, not by merit anymore.
..and a cue to buy gas masks for their incendiary tear gas.

Well, to New Mexico's limited credit, the bill that passed the house is a very watered down version of the original. The new version states that all firearms purchases at gun shows must have a background check.
The original version was such that it required background checks on all sales from private party to private party, including relatives.
While I'm against this bill on principal, it really is watered down and essentially treats all those selling guns at gun shows equally.
They heard us loud and clear on the original versions, but they seem to have gone deaf on the final. We may have to help their hearing come election time.
“I think we’ve got the edge for the Civil War V2.0 that 0bama is fomenting.”
Damn right. If Obozo thinks the military and police will blindly obey his orders to march on the American people, he’s in for a rude awakening. As a master sergeant in the Air Force Reserve, I will NOT obey illegal orders.
