More demand than supply.
But that's just a guess on my part. Other than that I have no idea. |

My guess is that manufacturers are selling all they can before the election and /or they are stocking up for some price gouging when the panic hits after the election like it did the last time. I hope I am wrong. I couldn't find any freaking ammo for almost a year.

the reason for the panic is because on January 3, 2013, the "First Day of Congress" a democrate by the name of Dianne Feinstein is to Introduce a new Assault Weapons Ban bill. It is rumored to be modeled after the most recent H.R.1022 bill that was posted in 2007 which Bans all `semiautomatic assault weapons' You can read the full, most current version of the bill here.
this bill defines assault weapons as: (D) A semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine, and that has-- `(i) a folding or telescoping stock; `(ii) a threaded barrel; `(iii) a pistol grip; `(iv) a forward grip; or `(v) a barrel shroud. Also the bill bans `(G) A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds. `(H) A semiautomatic shotgun that has-- `(i) a folding or telescoping stock; `(ii) a pistol grip; `(iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine; or `(iv) a fixed magazine capacity of more than 5 rounds. `(I) A shotgun with a revolving cylinder. So that is all weapons with a Pistol grip, folding stock, Semiautomatic pistols, shotguns primarily used for law enforcement and more; like ruger 10/22....yes even your .22 is now considered an assault weapon. Proof that a bill is going to be proposed then can be found here. and more if you just google it. I do not want and hate that there is a panic buy going on right now. However because of this bill and this Dianne Feinstein individual proposing another Bill in January; I understand why the panic is going on. If i had more money I would buy everything I could. I do not want to contribute to the panic however I feel that if more people knew about this bill then the second that everyone knows that the bill got voted "no" then this "panic" would stop very quickly. The best thing to do is to either wait, do nothing and hope the bill gets denied. Then If the bill gets passed get screwed out of purchasing another "assault weapon" Or write your senator and contribute to the cause of protecting our 2nd amendment rights. Ill be honest. This is the first time I have ever written my senator about anything. There is a first time for everything. |
