Says who?
Folks are lining up for PAL courses to get firearms. They then buy guns and ammo...and so the cycle goes.
Yup.
Number of PAL holders continues to climb here (up nearly 100,000 over last year).
Then again, so do the number of vendors of firearms and ammunition, from the increased new board sponsors here, to the increased number of Walmarts and CTs (many even getting back into selling firearms and not just ammo) on the scene.
In fact, never in the 3 decades years I have been buying ammunition have I seen the selection I do even today. So many choices on what to buy, and where to buy it (I can even buy it online).
Manufactures are putting out more than ever before, and in more variety from actual products never before available, to gimmicks of rebranded ammunition and celebrity endorsements.
It is a good time to be a shooter.
PS: Does someone want to ask Dizzy how the hell I can order a product from CT (bulk backed Stingers in a plastic ammo can) that was not even on the market a year ago (and have it in less than a month) if the only thing the stores are getting is stuff they ordered last year? As for "raw materials" not being able to be had, someone better notify SFRC and tell Ryan all the Wolf remanufactured ammunition he keeps getting in must be fake or imaginary.
I wish people would stick to facts, and stop with their theory of what is happening which fuels the fear mongering.
