Should have added that 7.62 X 39 and even 7.62 X 54R is needed in Iraq by our ‘allies’ there in their AKs and Dragunov snipers, respectively. But there are historical calibers that are not used in modern guns whose cost has gone up. Like 8mm Mauser, .303 british and 7.62 X 19 pistol ammo.

Of course, it will be argued that surplus ammo in warehouses overseas are drying up and that anyone who has these surplus guns is proceeding to stock up.

Will if/after the Obama crises subsides, the prices remain high or drop with decreasing demand. Dealers will be tempted to keep the prices high. We’ll see.

Here in America, we call it freedom. If the supply goes down, and people are willing to pay more for ammo, they can. Simple.

The alternative is to have the government regulate the amount of ammunition that each citizen can purchase – to keep the demand low, the supply high, and prices the same.

People who scream Price “Gougeing” (actually spelled Gouging) are much like the people who scream that Guns Kill People. Both are idiots and shouldn’t be allowed to vote or own weapons. (or allowed on the internet without supervision)

It costs very little more or maybe even less since most raw material used is down from last year. Most ammo is up over 100%.

THIS IS CALLED PRICE GOUGEING!!!!

This is all the way from mfg to wholesale to retail to anyone else who handles it.

Patriots are arming up with liberty teeth!
