I posted on another site asking if anybody had an idea of the logistics side of it and basically got “people are panic buying or re-selling.” Nobody could answer why it’s not getting on the truck in the first place.

I know what would stop that. If people stop buying it for that price. Better yet stop buying it altogether. I have plenty of ammo but it is annoying to not even see any on the shelf at the store. It's stupid is actually what it is.
Because guess what's going to happen if Biden wants your guns bad enough? Someone's gonna kill your *** and take all that ammo and your guns.

Maybe people should be responsible and stock up on important items like food storage, ammo, water, etc... There's an idea!

About 6-8 months ago we had an ammunition discussion, and there were a handful of people in here laughing about those who stacked up on ammunition, and didn’t just keep a couple boxes around the house. I’m guessing they’re not the ones laughing anymore. Meanwhile I’m laughing while I can shoot comfortably at my current rates for a few years, or at lesser rates (like I intend to) for a very long time to come.

Manufacturers have been upping their prices for retailers for the past year. Winchester has gone up 6 separate times alone. I personally wouldn’t pay for than .30 a round for 9, pre panic pricing was $180 for 1k 9 and $275 for 1k 5.56 so it’s hard for me to pay double that. I think there is a line, where that is is up to your own discretion. $1 a round for 9, 40, 45, 233, is all absurd. There seems to be lots of guys willing to pay those prices though, and I’ve seen tons of stores selling at those prices. I understand they’re paying more but I think they’re also taking advantage of a panic and selling both ammo and guns at massive increases. People who go out to buy purely to resell at these prices are part of the problem.
