Supply is the problem? Hiring a few extra hands is a good thing for the economy if only temporary.
There is no excuse other than the “conspiracy theory(?)” that showed Elite buying up manufacturers and ending production.
It is simple the Elite fear the awakening hordes. They try to legislate more anti constitutional laws and remove legally owned weapons from the people.
They have no difficulty sending American soldiers into harm’s way to fight wars that have NOTHING TO DO with American safety or security.
Pakistan is about as much threat to American mainland security as my grand daughters chained Hello Kitty wallet when it comes to the “Zero Tolerance” policy at the local grade school. Where is Common Sense?

How about a forum here? How about letting users receive replies from other users?

Let’s get a dialog going?

I haven’t seen ammo in any of the regular haunts since Sandy Hook. Fortunately, over the years I’ve bought, tried, and stored some of the more popular types. Some weren’t my favorites for target practice, so although not my favorites, they work just fine. With winter here (still), not having much avail of target time, so it’s sitting in a safe (very safe) spot until needed. Until the supply line fills up, I’m not going to the range as often, nor shooting up rounds that I don’t know I can replace soon.
Just enuf to keep myself sharp and comfortable. This is going to be a long haul, and I’m afraid it’s not going to end well. The good point is that we have the guns and some ammo, the grabbers don’t.

Patience is the key.

Pick your shot.

This is a great opportunity for entrepreneurship..

While somethings like primers will be difficult to manufacture at least initially.

The idea that it is too difficult to build ones own bullet molds for example is silly..

Powder? well we need to see..

Primers.. certainly will be difficult at first but should not pose a problem after we apply our thinking caps..

One thing is for certain.. The the manufacturing capabilities 150 years ago were no where as great as there are today and still quality firearms and massive amounts of ammunition was manufactured..

Silly Gooses who think scarcity will starve the 2nd Amendment .. do not understand the law of unintended consequences..

Those kids making plastic printable parts are just the beginning..

Look for even more inventiveness from others with regards to ammunition,

It is simply inevitable…

What will come? Plastic disposable cartridge cases.. “Ecco cases” biodegradable..
unusual primer designs, new powder combinations..

No doubt the younger generation of shooters will be just as inventive as those who came before them..

Actually, we are already in the beginning stages of another, and much worse, Great Depression.

I don’t know about ammo shortages , I have not brought ammo for years. Is there a shortage of 22-250 ammo? How about 30-30? I have enough for 60 days, for anything that comes up.

I started re-loading several years ago and have enough to hopfully outlast Obama, at least until 2014. I fully agree with Kim, any of you gun owners who voted democratice need to stop drinking the liberal coolaid and vote them out of office or the gun grab is coming to your state in 2014. If this does not wake you up nothing will.

The only thing I can find that’s not gone up much is .45ACP.

5.56/.223, 9mm, and .22LR… they’re impossible to find, unless you want to pay $300.00-plus for a brick of .22! Even 12ga. 00buckshot or slugs are now expensive, but can be found.

How much ammo is enough? Guess that depends on where you live. If you’re in a big city, and should things go bad, you might never have enough. And if you live in a rural area, you might have enough “for now,” but later, you might never have enough, either.

When will prices go down and availability go up? Probably when our political climate changes, late in 2014.

And I think the law-abiding gun-owners of America are going to hit the voting-booths in record numbers!

SO many who have traditionally voted democrat REALLY need to consider switching sides next year, or else what has happened in NY, CA, and CO will be coming to your state, too.

Unless we vote en masse’ for Constitutional Conservatives next year, America may well go the way of the do-do bird. Time is NOW to protect our Constitution and Bill of Rights!

VOTE TO PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS! Otherwise, they’ll be history.

We are not only competing with our government for ammunition,but with each other as well. I do not know how much is enough to make anyone feel secure – 1,000 rounds?, 5,000 rounds? In how many different calibers? I can only answer for myself and so must you. Good luck my brothers and sisters, we are headed toward difficult times.

I bought alot of .22lr,223 remington,9mm,and .45 auto over the years especially 9mm.I would like to say it was because I thought the President was going to get re-elected.Though it wasn’t.I just bought ammo when I saw deals over the years.I didn’t think it would get like this again.And why did the Government buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammo?Must be for the military.They probably have a ton of 5.56x45mm,9mm,and 45 acp ammo in those calibers and 7.62x51mm.

Supply wouldn’t be a problem if we weren’t in an arms race with the Federales. With DHS aquiring 1.6b rounds it has to make folks nervous. They’re prepping for civil unrest when the financial system noses over.
