If they can't control our guns they will control what we put in them.
"They" aren't controlling ammo (At the moment), this is just a question of supply and demand.
This is the best you can do for your first post?
Ooops! Sorry for giving you positive rep for this post, my intent was to give you negative rep. My bad.

A friend of mine has a friend that works for Remington. He told him they were working 24/7 up to a couple months ago but have since cut back work to 2 days a week.
A friend of mine has a friend............
If this is really the case, why haven't we heard about this sooner?
This is a pretty well informed group, how did this news slip by us for so long?
The dipsh!t owner of a gun store up here was telling me about his "friend of a friend" that has it on good authority that all of the major ammo manufacturers are shutting off the reloading supplies to redirect to their ammunition manufacturing.
He also told him that the government is putting restrictions on the manufacturers to slow down the amount of ammo that gets to the public.
and I was told at Bass Pro last week that places like Winchester were moving people out of making ammunition in order to help keep up with firearms orders......
I call bullshit on that one.
So how does what the government does at Area 51 slip by us so long?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but by banning importation of ammo from Russia and China, isn't that a way of controling the available supply to us?
I call bullshit on that one.
There is a shortage because people are hoarding. Obama has become their boogyman and they feel frightened. In time this will pass. No need to panic. Have been around long enough to have seen this scenario play out many times in the gun community since the first oil embargo in 73. If you stop talking about it, the problem goes away faster because the more timid stop buying ammo by the case. Just calm down.
