20,000 people looking for ammo.

Midway has had 1,000,000 unique customers this year.

There is no where on the internet that is not out of stock for pistol bullets.

Magazines are sold out.

Ruger, the biggest gun manufacturer, is not taking any more orders.

Today I saw bricks of Rem Thunderbolt 22 ammo sell for $75 each.
And people were buying them.
* There's a sucker born every minute.

What sane person thinks they need more than 100 rounds of ammunition
on hand????

All of them. Anyone who actually goes to the range with any regularity
knows that 100 rds is nothing.
*So you have an expensive hobby.. * I can see it if you are a target
shooter - but it's not target shooters that are causing the run on
ammo. It's nut-cases figuring they need enough ammo to run a private
or civil war for 4 years again.

Oh....like the US government, who bought 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo?
Enough to fight a war in Iraq for the next 26 yrs.

Gunner
Bet it wasn't .22

Nope..its .40 S&W and 5.56

Don't tell this to Gunner, because it would really disturb his story
line, and put an end to a lot of cracker-barrel entertainment. But
here's where all that ammo is going:

First, it's a five-year buy. So divide these figures by five for the
annual rate. It's almost enough for Gunner's range practice. g:

750 million rounds to the DHS Training Centers, where tens of
thousands of police officers from various states and 70,000 agents
from 90 federal agencies use DHS range facilities.

The rest goes to ICE (20,500 employees; includes four law-enforcement
agencies and many other agencies, from TSA to the Federal Protective
Service):

450 million rounds of .40-caliber duty ammunition

200 million rounds of rifle ammunition

176,000 rounds of hollow-point .357 service ammo for 295 SSA agents.

All in all, it sounds like a hot weekend of Gunner training
gang-bangers in the desert. d8-)
