Ammo Shortage

[steve1 5]

Does anyone know of a good source of ammo. I don't mind waiting a few weeks. I need some for the evil black gun that I bought recently. I dug around and found five rounds. I used those to sight it in with. Now I'm out. 223 rounds are about impossible to find.

Might want to try your friendly neighborhood federal law enforcement agency. They have a few million rounds to spare, I'm told.

Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful.

Here in Dallas I go by Academy Sports and different gun stores in the early morning to check and see if they have any in stock. 223 I can find more often then 9mm. The 223/5.56 is over priced but it's available. Academy isn't over priced but they will only sell one box per customer.

You can get them all day long here in Texas. Carter's Country has a bunch in stock. Collectors Fire Arm's cases available.

Hey, thanks for ducking out of your self-imposed banning to tell us that.

So much for the conspiracy theorists.

Here in Westchester County, NY, you can get 1000 rounds for $800, if you have the right friends.

That ammo seak website is wonderful. I plan to place an order Monday. Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! It's an awful feeling to be out of ammo.

Ammo is still easy to get over here. But unfortunately we can't buy online like in the USA.

On another note, WHY? Why is Ammo so scarce in the USA these days?

Ask the US Govt. They have like a billion plus rounds in storage. They're buying a large portion of the ammo from the manufacturers.

Ok, tin foil hats off here, I believe you but why would they? Is this to price people away from firearms?

It's to cripple us before the apocalypse.

In fairness, they're also hoarding all the eggs, >>> no more quiche.

No tin foil

1.6 billion to DHS alone

Hollow point ammo . Does not make any sense

Nobody has a good answer (unless you put tin foil in your wardrobe rather than your pantry). DHS just started answering questions (originally posed weeks ago) as to why they put out the orders they did, and the answers just don't add up. Their ass-covering answers don't match the reality of training or their own history. They're lying, or at least actively hiding their true intentions; that much is without a doubt. What those true intentions are, I have no idea.

Why do a lot of people buy in larger bulk quantities rather than placing many smaller orders?

"People" and businesses do it to get a bulk rate which saves money. It's pretty clear this government has no concerns or even a basic concept about saving money. So what the real motivation is remains unknown.

Nonsense.

You know what the motivation is? Do tell.

I dunno...maybe...because that's exactly what they said the reason was and it actually makes sense if you want to reduce government costs which is something people bitch about all the time?
