Pump and Dump
Always report on last leg up
Then dump on retail buys
Literally dumped 2 days after
This isnt panic buying.. this is dumbshits price gouging.. gonna be discount bins of 9mm and 556 soon
Gun sales have risen higher for so long that the NBC Corp even has to acknowledge it finally.
Democrats are so good for gun sales
Shyt Bags in the MSM.
That’s what I call timely reporting. By the way, the plaque pandemic in Europe is over. You might just want to report it.
Always the demand for hunting and training rounds but the amount of new owners certainly drove demand with the current climate.
Just come to Chicago the gangbangers got so much Ammo they shoot it all day and night long
Made new factory. More jobs.
Simple reverse psychology. Telling people they can’t have something makes them want it more. Take the bullets away and people will pay top dollar for them. If alcohol became illegal people would proceed to get drunker.
It’s a violent world, it’s getting more violent and it’s probably going to be violent for the foreseeable future, so you have to be as well prepared for it as you can.
I"m sorry but I dont believe this is a supply and demand issue alone. With this demand NO manufacturers are stepping up with expansion to make millions? I just found my first box of ammo in over 8 months available. Near twice the price and where was it made? The philipines? Ultra cheap crap.
been looking to find ammo and i jumped on

How do a country arm it’s citizens without spending a single penny? THIS IS IT! Now any country that plan on invading US will have to consider twice before making the move because behind every blade of grass, there is not only one, but multiple guns with unlimited amounts of ammo.
Pretty sure I saw Fonzie, Danny and rest of the gang at the gun store.
The government bought everything.
Arm yourself to the teeth for what’s to come.
Not much of a gun store
As the fake media typically goes they fail to mention that the Marxist group known as black lives matter is burning down cities and trying to defund the police and that is the exact reason there’s an ammunition shortage in a firearm shortage
Awesome! Buy More Because the Government needs to be kept in check. Also the Chinese may feel like they want to attack The USA.
BUY AMMO WHENEVER YOU CAN NOW
No ammo shortage at my house
Gun control drive all of these . Not what the news like to say.
I’m surprised the price of ammo didn’t go up because of an Elon Musk tweet.
There’s only one dysfunctional violent group which drove gun sales up. This group invented such things as the knockout game.
There is no ammo shortage
It is being criminally withheld to the public
Go watch what’s going on in South Africa , they seem to have more than enough ammunition to even give warning shots
Should tell you all you need to know , if you been paying attention
Did you guys know that the Obama administration bought billions of bullets to “Stockpile “ ?
My house will always have tons of guns and ammo. I couldnt imagine not having a firearm with all if the violence and unrest.
The best I can see online from a reputable site such as sgammo is 40 cent per round for 9mm, 60 cents for 5.56 and about 35 cents for steel 7.62×39. . 45 acp is also about 60 cents per. The price and availability is improving thankfully.
lol.. Butt Hole Owner.. oh wait.. that’s not right..
God Bless America 🇺🇸
I personally think the ammo prices are starting to go back to normal. 6 months ago 556 nato ammo costed around 80 cents per round. Now they cost only around 45 cents per round.
Well some of Americans at least know that they are in war with their government, Have ammo first , bullets may run out
Just say it, the lib tards it causing it.
Keep buying.. 2A👍🏽
This comment comes 4 weeks after this story was done but the shortage is pretty much over here in Florida ammo is back on retailers shelves and at gun shows what there is a shortage of is reasonable prices I’ve turned to reloading my ammo but there is still a shortage of some components but I’m still able to get what I need to keep a minimum of 1000 rounds of the important ammo.
Protect your rights : VOTE
Demand is coming from the fact that people are arming up due to the tyrant in high office.
⚠ ATTENTION….
People’s rights are GOD given rights. Our rights do NOT come from the USA, ATF, CIA, IRS, DOJ, FBI or the U.S. Constitution & Bill of Rights!
Stop asking for permission (permits & licenses) for things that are your GOD given rights!
Read the HOLY BIBLE (Geneva 1599 version) and read the book titled, ‘THE HOLOGRAM of LIBERTY’ by Kenneth Royce.
⚠ Watch the video documentary called, ‘FALSE GODS OF OUR TIME’ by Jeremiah Films.
Honestly while I have nothing against owning guns it’s a shame that this country has so many mass shootings and murders carried out with firearms
When the democrats get out of power!
Democrats going after constitutions right of citizens fuel more anger. People buy more weapons just shows how democrats actually fueling crisis in this country.

More more more Gun sales. Yuhhh #USA the best
It’s like ammunition manufacturers aren’t even trying to keep up with demand SMH
It’s likely going to slow down as soon as states and the current administration stop regulation. Also we need to see the ATF not threaten the entire industry and ownership with federal changes drastic enough to make millions of people criminals overnight.
I love it when the lady asked when will the market and normalize again well I got the answer for that it’s when the Dems are out of presidential office….duh
Its a ammo regulation not shortage. The government has stopped the suppliers from distributing. Sounds like china huh
It’s amazing when you have riots and defund the police movements, that there would be an ammo shortage and record gun sales go figure
