Feds Buying Up All Surplus Ammo, Ordering Stores To Cease Sales? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 10128444 Portugal 03/25/2012 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Following a DHS order for 450 million rounds of .40 caliber shells a source says the Feds are buying up all military surplus ammo and ordering stores to cease sales. Just days ago a military ammunition supplier announced that the Department of Homeland Security had entered a contract to purchase 450 million rounds of .40 Caliber ammunition, which is more than on bullet for every man, woman and child in the United States. While the news is startling and one can only speculate on the reason Homeland security needs so much ammunition an even more alarming report has surfaced today. According to an anonymous source the federal government is buying out all ammunition from military surplus stores and says vendors have told him they have been instructed to cease sales of ammunition to the public.

Chrit User ID: 9751094 United States 03/25/2012 01:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In 2009 I would drive to stores on the days when they were unloading the delivery and wait to see what came off the truck. I was going out twice a week and often came home with nothing; the reason for the 2009 shortage was not the government but people buying mass amounts of ammo. I even have real silver bullets because it was the only thing I could find, they weren’t cheap! But they were the only thing in stock in mid-2009. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |

I do, I tend to buy ammo every week. Sometimes twice a week. I will not buy it online though, there are a number of reasons I will not do that. But all the local shops have ammo at a normal price. There was a slow increase but people have to realize 4 years ago it cost around $20 bucks per pallet delivered, today were at well over $100 a pallet! There is one other reason, and that is supply and demand. You have people like me waiting at stores on delivery day watching the truck get off loaded so I can buy the entire shipment of a specific type of ammo. The store doesn’t like that! They want ammo on the shelf for when people come in to buy their guns. Hard to sell a gun when they don’t have the ammo in stock! So they up the prices a little here and a little there because they know we'll still buy the cases. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw.
