Honestly, it’s articles like this that drive shortages, and hoarding.

Sometimes, gun owners are their own worst enemies.

The U.S.should restrict grain shipments.
Let them eat cats.

This is like the 5th time this has been reported this year with no actual effect.

The slowing economy and political situations have a greater influence.

Prices are fairly reasonable right now for high-use ammo types.

It's like a water bottler or TP company screaming snow below the Mason Dixon line.

Doesn't change the fact that China owns (us) U.S. They even hold our National Debt.

Oops. Gotta go. Walmart is selling American flags on sale that are 'Made in China'.

I gotta show my patriotism, don'tcha know ?

Always remember that even those on our side are fine with creating a bit of panic when it suits their purpose.

So they don't technically literally own any T-Bills. Thanks for the correction. I feel better now.

 

[Lab4Us]

So back to OP. For such a shortage incoming, I was sure inundated with ammunition sales via email since early last week. Ammunition sellers sure don’t seem concerned…if they were, wouldn’t they hold that ammo and sell at a 300% markup instead of anywhere from 5-40% discounts recently?

Hoax, or not.

Stock up first. Ask questions later.
