Trust me it’s supply.

A month ago I could buy AR lowers all over the place and even some great AR’s.

Now, I can’t get lowers or complete AR’s except in the private market and the one that are available must be made of gold and some are platinum.

Same with .233/556. I was casually picking up a couole of boxes and sometimes bandoliers. One week after Newton,Barrack decided to make December 2013 a record for his sales and to cap it off he took 1-2 years worth of orders for several manufacturers.

I’m calmed down now and didn’t need an AR before Barrack sold out inventory nationwide and I’m moving on to Cowboy guns. I want start shooting in contests and it will make me happy to dress like The Lone Ranger, Paladin or The Rifleman.

Walmart does not want this to turn political ... they are already in the cross hairs of so many activist groups and do not like it. They will say: “Supply problems” to save face, but they will quietly let the issue die as they change the footprint of their stores to a more “modern” and “hip” vibe that will soon include no gun/ammo departments.

Were the two Walmart sporting goods employees (in my case, the only one in the store with key to the ammo case) lying to us when they said ammo orders had been placed "on hold"? Why would they do that instead of just saying the distribution center -- 20 miles up the road -- is out of stock?
