Manager was talking about that when I was standing by him one day after the smoke cleared for 9mm and 380 at our local Academy. He said believe me ...there is nothing anybody can come up with that hasn’t been discussed over and over at the mgmt and corporate level already. Said that the flippers would be hanging around in his store all day checking clogging up the aisles if they did it randomly. Said he’d rather get the people in, get it sold and get them out.
I guess in the grand scheme of things the store gets paid either way.

There was a group of about 5 old retired men that learned when the ammunition truck came in every week at our Walmart. They would hang around until they brought it out and buy it all. They lady in sporting goods soon figured this out. She would only bring out a little and they would buy it and leave. After they were gone she would bring the rest out so the regular public could get some.

We needed a ****storm to erupt on Inauguration Day for any chance of gun/ammo restrictions to get through Congress. People behaved themselves. If nothing occurred under Obama, I have no reason to believe anything will happen over Biden. The Democrats are just playing to their base and it’s mostly right wing paranoia/flippers/hoarders fueling the buying at this point. What cracks me up is the types that think thousands of rounds will keep them alive if SHTF, but couldn’t run a mile under 12 minutes if their life depended on it.

It is not only ammo.
As many here know I have been a Vortex Optics dealer since 2005. Their relatively new $32,000,000 facility in Wisconsin is basically empty of product due to COVID-19 shutdowns, increased firearms sales, and supply chain disruptions.
As soon as items are available they are eaten up by backorders from 4 to 5 to 6 months ago. I have still been able to take care of my customers that are willing to wait.....but in most cases the lead time is substantial.

Or couldn’t jump over a pencil with a donut on the other side. I’m glad you finally said it.
