The Keefe Report: Where All The Ammo

[Annihilator]

Interesting read on where did all the ammo go, hoarding, panic and people not sure what's going to happen after the new presidents gets sworn in.

IMO there have been multiple causal factors starting all this going back to last late winter/early spring, that keep building on things, and with real no end in sight.

Agree, I'm afraid after the first of the year, it might get worse, don't know how it could, but I got a gut feeling on this.

I am stashing all my ammo in my toilet paper rolls. I hear that is the safe place nowadays. So over this year...

Personally I view it as plain a** lunacy.

Over the years I have had many many people ask me why I buy so much ammo that I don't need that much. Now they are trying to buy it from me and most I tell NO. I just traded some 9mm for 6.5 CM. One of my bosses text me yesterday where can he get 9mm and 45 ACP. I reply HA HA if you find any I want some. But I know what he really meant (will you sell me some). He treats me really good so I did.

You're primarily correct, but keep in mind that over the last half of this year, there were millions of NIC background checks done. Obviously not all were approved, but by far the majority were. And that increase in the number of firearms also increases the requirement for ammo. If each new gun this year bought only one box of ammo with the gun purchase, that's literally millions of boxes off the shelf over and above the regular needs.

I haven't been the biggest NRA fan over the past few years, but I've got to give Keefe credit for honesty. I'm getting tired of others in the industry constantly claiming that things will start getting back to normal in a few months. It seems the CEO's of every retailer are either gullible enough to honestly believe that things will be better "next quarter", or they are just lying to shareholders.
