From the article:
" Chief Magnusson says his officers are fully supplied to work the streets, but it’s the future of unknowns that worries him. Especially if absence of ammo reaches a critical level. "

Hey Chief, guess what? We 'normal subjects' were smart enough to not let our 'inventory' get so low. We learned from past experiences!!

If I'm supposed to feel sorry for them, it's not going to happen. not on this one!!

 

[Saltwater60]

I don’t feel bad at all.

still kinda wonder if part of this shortage is DHS buying up ammo like they did under obama for "training"

If the situation is so bad let's see DHS start sharing their inventory with local police departments.

And? This is the second ammo shortage in a decade, they didn't learn anything from the last one?

No shit.

Look what happened to that guy in NYC with the warehouse of N95s a year ago.

There were people, even on thus forum, defending the outright theft.

Guy could have made millions. Government could have just paid what he was asking. But, nope, why pay when you can just steal.

I'll trade you 2 boxes of 9mm hollow points for that 870.

3 boxes if you have night vision!

 

[Deplorable Me]

Let them police their own brass and start reloading.

What was that old Chris Rock bit about gun control? Something along the lines of he didn't believe in gun control but instead wanted ammo control. Make every bullet cost $100. That way there are no innocent bystanders.

If you think about it, we're starting to approach that threshold aren't we?

Im not a Chris Rock fan at all, but this is a pretty funny bit.
