There Is an Unprecedented Gun and Ammo Shortage in America Today

[livingston]

There is a quiet revolution underway across the United States that signals how the average American is reacting to the Democrat campaign of supporting rioting and chaos in major cities. American citizens are arming themselves to the teeth and this includes many who previously supported gun control measures
If you doubt me, go on-line and try to buy a box of 9mm, 380, 45 or 300 blackout ammunition. If you can find it you will be paying a premium that is without precedent. Around the first of July, you could buy a box of 9mm cartridges for about $12 a box. That works out to .24 cents a cartridge. Today, you are going to pay around a $1 a bullet if you can find it.

I was describing the shortage in Florida the other day to a great friend who lives in Iowa. He thought I was crazy and assured me he could get me 9mm ammo. I egged him on and asked him to buy everything he could and ship it to me. He was certain he could get the .24 cents a bullet price. One hour later he texted me that the local gun stores were sold out. That’s Iowa. Same applies across the country. Ammunition is scarce

Online prices are more in the neighborhood of $.50 a round. Still absurdly high..
10mm actually seems to be the best value in centerfire pistol cartridges.

 

[JaguarJaguarGolf]

Bought my hunting license today and walked through Thruway sports, No pistol ammo of any kind, all sold out

 

[northny]

If there ever was a reason to invoke the war powers act, this is it. /s

 

[Podmonkey]

Every time this happens I swear to buy tons of rainy day stash ammo when the the prices normalize.............. and I do. Then I shoot most of it. Sigh.

 

[Mosinitis]

People are stupid. What else is new.

 

[dwa12479]

Sure glad I roll my own and don't run to the store for a fire extinguisher when my house is already engulfed in flame.

 

[BDinPutnam]

I guess at stores there is.

My house, not so much.

 

[PutnamCharlie]

I still have some but a few more range day's and it will become an issue.

Ain't really a shortage if people are stocked up.

 

[spat]

Shortage for some, but not for all.


That kinda sounds like the refrain from the prepper anthem.

 

[Elwood]

If anything comes out of this, I hope it's that liberals buying guns finally realize how insane the hoops are you have to jump through / no criminal is going to ever bother going through half of them in the first place. Perhaps they'll back down on some measures.

 

[Chevusa]

Paying approx 70-80 cents a round for premium HP ammo with free shipping. About normal. A tad higher though.

 

[MikeyCNY]

Same. I'm not getting down to critical levels (yet), but my once-a-month range trips will be affected. As I posted elsewhere, I haven't taken my .45 ACP 1911 shooting in a while, may be due. And my .22 LR stash is.. "okay".. soo I could shoot my 10/22s more.

 

[MillidotShooter]

Yeah my house doesn't seem to have much of a shortage either... Wonder why that is...

 

[MillidotShooter]

I only have maybe one Range day left in me this year. Once the Semester starts in a few weeks my life is devoted to finishing my degree. No days off and No time for the range until the end of the semester. But even then I am in no danger of a shortage. Sitting on a really good supply of everything I need in every caliber I use. Hopefully, by the time the Year ends things won't be so bad and supply will resume. I will restock then...

 

[MikeyCNY]

Depends on what your definition of "shortage" is.. If there's space left in the basement.. you don't have enough!

Well SHIT! Guess I'm running a little low then...

 

[E the massive]

This is like the 3rd "ammo shortage" in 12 years. Slobs still don't police their brass at the range.

 

[That_FNG]

And yet Remington is bankrupt. If you go bankrupt during one the greatest gun and ammo buying panic I’ve ever seen, then you are a shit company.
On a side note I’ve started buying a box or two of ammo for calibers I don’t have guns for. Even though I don’t have 10mm or 40s&w etc someone I know may and then I can trade then for stuff I do shoot if need be

Chuck needs to learn how to aim better.

Nobody aimed in the 80's.

You can't find a basic 870 why? Because king andrew deemed Remington non essential. Same thing happened to all the manufacturers in this country. What guns and ammo were out there at that time is all that's available now. Then add in people getting an extra $600 to sit on their ass and you get a employee shortage. Don't be so quick to berate Remington after cumhole shut them down and refused their offer to produce ventilators when he said they were so urgently needed.

And I hope I'll stop late night binging. Neither of these things will happen, I'm afraid.

Remington was being run into the ground by the private equity guys well before the Covid.

 

[dsdmmat]

It is not so much a shortage of guns, more of an oversupply of buyers.

That is true but it was actions by government that put the final nail in their coffin.

This time around.

Remington’s hardships have been coming for a long time due to Freedom Groups mismanagement. The forced shut down was only the last nail in the coffin, but by in large it’s been because of poor business decisions and thinking hunters were the revenue stream that would save the company. What other firearms manufacturer would shut down 2 full subsidiary companies that would be selling inventory at a record pace during a run on firearms.
