Default Ammo/Firearm shortage

How many others here are having issues with ammo shortage etc?

A couple months ago, I purchased 1000 rds of 223 and 1000 rds of 9mm. The 223 was $259. Now its $499!!! Glad I got it then.

Heck, even common firearm accessories like magazines are hard to find.

Yeah once folks got stocked up on toilet paper they turned around and started buying firearms and RVs.

LOL, RV'*. First thing that comes to mind is Woody Harrelson in the movie 2012 that lives in a RV in Yellowstone Park.

LOL well at least it went out in a blaze of glory right before the end of the world. Motorhomes have hard lives, but usually for short miles. The body usually falls apart well before the driveline.

Not that one.

If it wasn't for all idiots protesting/rioting, I think the ammo situation would be ok still. I remember back a few months ago when the TP shortage was at its peak and ammo was flying off the shelves,but after awhile, it calmed down except the TP hoarding. While standing in at the gun store, we would joke around about trading TP for ammo.

Good point. No telling where someone will start turning cars on their tops and setting them on fire these days.

Its already happening.

We've heard of a few minor issues up in Phoenix(1.5million pop) but down here in Tucson(500K) barely a peep. I would like to think that most Arizonians are aware that most legal residents have firearms, and that hood rats shouldn't trifle with them.

Exactly.

Around my area there are a few uprisings up in the city, but the rest of the state is doing okay.
