"WHOLESALE PRICES HAVE SKYROCKETED..WE ARE PAYING TOP DOLLAR JUST TO KEEP AMMO IN STOCK..DEMAND HAS DOUBLED JUST THIS YEAR..STAY TUNED BUT IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD. "
It wasn't the only place that is beginning to see shortages and price hikes not unlike what we'd seen 4 years ago when prices nearly doubled and, common calibers were listed as being "back ordered indef" for months at a time with the exception being that it's only April and, the rush is already beginning.
This being an election year is part of whats fueling the rush as well as the growing potential for civil unrest in many places along with violent crime spiralling out of control.
People simply aren't feeling safe anymore nor, do they believe that police protection actually protects them or, deters criminals.
It's pretty shameful for a few reasons because NO American should ever live with the concern that the government has become such a rogue entity that people actually believe it would remove a constitutional right or, restrict it into being impossible to exercise.
It's also shameful that thugs and criminals no longer fear any deterrent to crime because going to jail is a hoodrat's highest honor second only to killing someone.
That has happened because too few people said a word while the crime culture has been being glorified and sold to kids for 30 years.
Civil unrest? I highly doubt at this point that wide scale rioting will be breaking out anytime soon but, I can certainly see why many folks have concerns about it since it seems that every goofy splinter group of miscreants and malcontents have grown bolder over the last year or, two and, like their "thug and drug" brethren, they have no concern for people, property or, the police catching them.
I've watched in the last year some outright thuggish behavior being performed in direct view of the police who seemed to have had a greater fear of the media's portrayal of them arresting a drama queen than a concern for their law enforcement duties.
Apparently, it's not just the citizens themselves that seem to be expecting some type of domestic unrest since the military has updated FM 3-19 which covered civil unrest operations outside of CONUS to 3-19.15 (2005) which now covers operations within our borders so, it isn't just a bunch of "nuts" who smell something cooking since the government seems to have been preparing for the same thing for some time now.
As reported in multiple sources on March 28th, the DHS has ordered some 450 million rounds of .40 S&W and, some 175 million rounds of .223 ammo.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along!
