    A box of .22 rounds for $150?! Give me a fucking break!

    I just bought $1000 worth of .40, .38 and 12 gauge rounds for good measure!

    I hate you Obama!

    Here's hoping you didn't just bring yourself onto Homeland Security's radar.

    $1000 in ammo isn't very much right now. A few months back $1000 in ammo was a shot ton.

    It really isn't. 50 rounds are $49 each. Then I have home protection rounds for both my hk .40 and .357 (.38 rounds). The thing that killed me is the local gun shops aren't selling more than a box at a time. I was able to get 10 boxes of each (500 rds each).

    The 12 gauge shells are still pretty cheap. Got 5 boxes of those.

    What is tax and what is just the price the companies charge?

    Sounds like it's more of an ammo control problem than gun control.

    Just looked it up, federal tax on ammunition is only 11%



    So blaming it on Obama or gun control seems disingenuous.

    People are stocking up in advance of the Executive Orders he's promised.

    Blame on both is well placed.

    It's a false demand. The ammo companies are creating a shortage so they can jack up the prices.

    Blame it on paranoia, fear of that bastard Obama. Blame should be on those right wing echo chambers that spread the fear and paranoia. I see prognostication of 500% tax on ammo, that's the crazy bull that's causing the jump.

    Not true, at least with one manufacturing company I know. They can't keep up. They are behind 7 months now compared to orders placed. So if a retail outlet asks for 100 cases now they are getting them in 7 months. Luckily those retails outlets placed orders 7 months ago that they will get any day now.

    The government is buying up all of the ammo, and manufacturers are running out.
