Re: Is there an ammo ban in the works I am missing...?
yeah, Ive been trying not to do this but as things go, Ive found myself in a bit of a bind. I purchased a .308 bolt action gun right as this all blew up, got a deal on it because everyone was trying to get an AR, and bolt guns were neglected I guess. I bought one box of shells for it, and should have bought several. Now I find myself hitting the stores like the hoarders, searching for 308. Ive managed to scrape together 6 boxes, but only two are matching brands AND bullet weights. Id like to sight it in and enjoy it, but Id REALLY like to have at least 3-4 matching boxes of decent ammo to sight it in, and see how far I can push it on distance. After going store to store I sure wish that rifle was a 30-06 or 300 wsm.. stores in my area have shelves full of those calibers.
I think half the people "hoarding" are just tired of trying to wait it out and have to buy what they can when it pops up just to be able to shoot. Thus perpetuating, even if unintentional, the cycle we see today.
I sure hope I (and others) are right. When the ban doesnt pass and these tools are looking at a $800 AR they paid double or triple for, and 5000 rounds of ammo for every gun sitting there in the way, that the market is flooded and we can enjoy some cheap prices from those with buyers remorse.
