Members jonathan_matos5 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 the Obama's fault is just a satire but there is really a bullet shortage that is indirectly related to Obama being in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members s4001 Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 Actually, my dad is a regular shooter.

Members s4001 Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 He loads his own and has been having a heck of a time getting lead. I think he's up early to get to Turners on Thursday (delivery day) because they sell out quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonathan_matos5 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 i think once deer and turkey season are over then the shortage will dwindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members analorgy Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 A friend of mine makes his own shotgun shells.It's a hell of a shot when he makes 'em with tacks and doesn't tell ya.I can't imagine what kinda damage this would do in a combat situation.

Members lug Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 A friend of mine makes his own shotgun shells. It's a hell of a shot when he makes 'em with tacks and doesn't tell ya. I can't imagine what kinda damage this would do in a combat situation. Not much, not enough mass to really punch though. I'd imagine the effective range would be pretty short given the flight dynamics of a tack. My new idea is to make shells filled with hotsauce and shoot their eyeballs!

Members BottomHeavyKate Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 i think once deer and turkey season are over then the shortage will dwindle. Not likely. We're talking about different rounds here. When I go shopping I can find plenty of 30.06, 7mm Mag, Slugs....those are my hunting rounds. What I can't find is AR ammo, and hand gun callibers.

It is getting really expensive now, also. Saw one box of name brand .40's that were about $1 a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FreestyleIntruder Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 Reminds me of the fuel protests here in 2000. People thought there would be a shortage...so they started panic buying...which resulted in a shortage...which resulted in more people panic buying..which resulted in... A person is intelligent. People are stupid. *EDIT* Or the run on Northern Rock bank a couple of years ago Still, I bet the gun shops aren't complaining about the extra demand, are they?

This is why I kept my 9mm and only used it sparingly since mid last year. Unfortunately, I only have a handful of .357 and .38+p. I know this... I have at least 6 .357 Hydroshocks - guess where I keep them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought 1000 rounds of 9mm CCI Blazer from him about a month ago. Good seller. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/SellerAuctions.asp?User=659677 Also .223 is hard to find locally, but it's out there http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/SearchResults.asp?SearchResults.asp?SearchType=0&Keywords=9mm+1000&Cat=1012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jesse Neil Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 These threads piss me off. 1. It's pretty much over with. 2. It never was a shortage. It was a uneven distribution. MORE ammo was available this year, just some people can't find it because others are hoarding it. Ammo hoarders are like the people that bought all the bottled water and generators around Y2K. It's stupid, and ruins things for people who actually use the stuff regularly. Remember the good deals you could get on "used" generators after Y2K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
