when will the ammo shortage end??

[mdm2272]

Those folks are more than welcome to head my direction as long as they are not jacking the prices up on the 10/22's. I will gladly take a couple off their hands

Most of them I have seen come with a jacked up price.

I'm seeing an easing in the Evansville area. 9mm and .22lr still hard to find, but .45, 7.62X39mm and 5.56 are resurfacing here and there...Walmart, Rural King, local gun shops. Picked up some Tula .223 for $6.98 a box at Right to Bear Arms gun shop today and some PMC Bronze .223 for $7.97 last week.

It would appear we are on the downslope. I hope as many people are stuck with overpriced ammo as there are with overpriced magazines. I am seeing high priced ammo sit longer and longer before going out of stock. CTD takes the cake for the most unreal prices and attempts to feed the paranoia. I will sit this one out until it is over from here on out.

I agree i think that the people that bought at gouging prices are happy with what they got and won't be buying more. There are also some of us that are willing to sit and wait it out.

Wallyworld Price Drop

According to the Walmart app, the price for 9mm dropped $2 from $13.97 to $11.97. Hopefully, that's a good sign for the end of the great ammo panic of '12-'13.

They can drop the price to $1.97, but if there's none on the shelf it does no one any good.

Just sayin'...

I am also new into the gun world. I called Greg Garrison today on his local Indy talk show since he is a long time gun guy. He said it's NOT the government that has caused the shortage but us civilians that have gone crazy and are buying everything we can get our hands on right now. It's just supply and demand. He said he has looked into it himself and the reports about the Feds buying up everything is simply NOT true. Just Internet hype. I would believe him over every other source out there.

So, Greg Garrison is another shill for the gov't.

In this case, screen shots from your phone.

NONE on the stores I've bought from have dropped below $13.97

That's why Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano ADMITTED to ordering the 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo on video. She also stated part of the reason for buying such a large amount was because the THEY train and qualify local law enforcement. Every local officer I've asked about this has said their training and qualifying is still done by THEIR department or with another local department.



Feds admit drying up ammo supplies
^^^^^
The title for this video is misleading. DHS never admitted to drying up the ammo, only ordering the 1.6 billion rounds.

The right citing infowars is about as credible as the left citing MSNBC...because...as you know...there's a war on for your mind.

It's not the government's fault, as much as I dislike the government.

Well, technically it is.... I could buy any ammo I wanted any time I wanted it before they ramped up the anti campaign in December

I'll give you that. But it's not the government buying it all up. We the people are buying far more.

It will last as long as people are afraid something is going to happen to guns and ammo. I also think that the vultures(gougers) know that there are a lot of new first time gun owners that have very little ammo and don't know what pre-obama, pre-Newtown prices were.

Very perceptive. I agree that new gun owners -- and I, for one am glad there are so many -- do not know what ammo prices should be, and are being taken advantage of by the immoral vultures. My concern is that when the supply comes back that it will be at the inflated prices.

Looks like Mona Lisa, but smells line tuna fish. Fishy, for sure.

The feds aren't buying .22 ammo. Shortage just ended here, just reloaded 700 rounds of .223, now if I only had rifle to shoot them with.

 

[Larryjr]

How about this....lets start the rumor that the toilet paper industry is being hit with shortages of supplies due to federal constraints and maybe people will start buying it and hoarding it and leaving some ammo on the shelf for INGO. Yes? Who's with me?!

Lets tell the libs there's a shortage of air on mother earth... perhaps they'll stop breathing to save "her", Problem solved.
