I try to buy in relatively large quantities and keep a fair amount in stock. That is true of toilet paper and ammunition. We've got a big basement
Response to M1911 and others:
Fair enough. FWIW I too have large quantities on hand. When I reload for a given caliber I keep thousands on hand. I prefer to do my reloading in the cool seasons and not in the muggy summers or freezing winters. I didn't just start doing this when Obama got into office though.
I realize it's a free market although some dealers restrict quantities for sale lately. What bothers me is the potential short term situation where new shooters or active shooters will be discouraged an turn away from the sport because they just don't have the time to search 20 Walmarts/dealers for ammo to shoot.
So yeah... you can buy up every last WWB you can find so you will be ready for the zoombies or the next revolution. You have every right to do that. But take a sec to consider the impact on others that have ZERO ammo shoot before you add to your stash of 50,000 rounds.
Oh- and YES I do think this is a temporary market thing... not a UN/Obama conspiracy.
