Cain’t tax whats already bought. Or can they? Well, they can’t tax what they don’t know about, anyway. Feel sorry for all those who bought their stash online with a credit card.... Laughing.

Simply a price reaction to high demand, panic buying.
No more and no less than that.
If it was democrats driven it’d be with heavy taxes and that’s on the way.
Bottom line. You’re wrong.

Picked up 1000 rounds of .223 for a buddy for $550 yesterday Federal AE 55gr. Also found .22LR bricks as well as .38SPL along with some other stuff. As quick as it came in it was gone. I have a few buddies at the store and they texted me. I bet the store got in 40,000 rounds of .223 and 556 but it didn’t last long.

I suppose it'd just be stupid to think if the frantic buyers and hoarders took a deep breath and paused for a bit our ammo manufactures could catch up, stores could restock and prices would fall back to normal again.

Prices will never fall back Yeah, they will, because wholesale priced haven't gone up much. When things get caught up and the reputable dealers that never gouged get their regular supplies back, the gougers will have to lower their prices or get stuck with their inventory.

No brass worries here...

A while back I read an article about CCI and making 22LR ammo. They have several lines running 24/7 and were adding 1 more line when the article was written. I can't remember how many rounds a day they produce but it's huge. The article was about why they didn't increase production to meet the demand. Adding another line is very expensive, involving large expensive equipment and possibly a new building to house it. Hopefully this is a temporary shortage brought on by hoarding. Spending all that money to increase production isn't worth the risk of having to shut it down when the hoarding stops.

That's the spirit! Keep a positive attitude. You be wrong though. Wait & see.

Prices will never fall back They certainly did after the last shortage during the Obama presidency.

McMillan gave us that same story several years ago, and they're still running months and months behind.....

Prices will never fall back Before long, we will look back at today's prices and wish we had bought.

I've stopped at a few places over the last week. All were out of the most desirable ammo and very low on the rest.
It's interesting that the same isn't true for magazines. Plenty available for ARs, Glocks, XDs, Rugers, Sigs, etc. Maybe all of the new buyers don't realize the need or don't have the cash to stock up. Maybe the next round of 'stimulus' will fix that.
