What is going on?

[Nutz275]

Can someone please tell me what is up with this ammo shortage? It's as if all of the ammo companies announced that they are going to close their doors forever.

The irrational fears of a few spawning an irrational herd mentality.

Pretty much sums it up.

What up

The word "STUPID" comes to mind.....

Greed and selfishness, the ones that kill me are the one's that buy all there is a certain stores then go to the gun show and profit. This panic buying is ridiculous people should have been prepared before the pied piper got elected in 08.

It's calming down already. I saw a case of 5.56 go on GB for ONLY $865 today.

A friend told me 223 at the gun show today was a dollar a round if you buy it at that price you need your head examined!

1$ per round... Where.... I am willing to pay 2$ per round, need 20,000 rounds tommorrow.... Nah, just kidding. 1$ per round they must be nuts...

Its just ridiculous. People spending $1/round deserve to spend that if they are that dumb.

So, current events put guns in the spot light. Obama talks about an AWB. Derps start derping and derpduce that the presidency is actually a derptatorship. They derpcide that Obama can ban everything under the sun via executive order. They make this assumption because derps are staunch derpfenders of the constitution, but have no clue how our government actually works. The derps "realize" these items will be banned, so they log onto gunbroker, PSA, botach, etc. and buy all the online gun stuff. Once that runs out, they sprint to academy buy everything they can, and store it in their airstream trailers. By then the derping is so out of control their derp panic buying has created a real shortage of goods. The shortage of goods further inflates prices, which only adds fuel to the derp fire. Simply put, derps derped civics, so they went all derp at academy, they drove the prices up, and now derps are complaining that derps cant afford bullets.

I HATE PRICE GOUGERS, BAYOUSHOOTER SHOULD MANDATE PRICING ON ITEMS AND BAN PEOPLE WHO ARE CHARGING TOO MUCH, OH AND I HATE THAT SOCIALIST PRESIDENT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a rather precise description of events.

It is a sad state of events. I hope I'm right when I say it will be funny to see people try to sell their overpriced AR's in the future. But I paid $3,000 a year for it used. Sorry buddy they are now selling new for $1,000. The moron prices have gone away.

Saw it at the gun show in Shreveport last weekend for $998.00 per case... Wow, what a deal... so good of a deal I a will just have to pass!

 

[Rm105629]

I'm just hoping that there will be a flood of supply after all the panic/demand dies down and the prices come down a bit. I'm saving my money in the hopes of that happening.

 

[kcinnick]

.223 was $1.60+ per round today, 7.62X39 ammo was from $500-$900 per K.

 

[Gator 45/70]

Sure glad i made a move on reloading supply's 8 month's ago for the .223...Price's will come down one day.

I will only be shooting 9mm, .45 and 22lr for the foreseeable future. I just can't imagine taking a $1 a shot. I have plenty of .22lr and can make 9mm and .45 for $50-$100 per 1,000 rounds depending on what I am loading. Might get a .224 mold set for my casting machine if prices don't come down and get set up to load .223.
