My buddy lives in Arkansas, and he said hand gun ammo is hard to find, and the last time he went to buy one, people were buying 2 and 3 handguns at a time.

It's called "gouging"...
...people want ammo and they know it.
But people remember things like that and when the current panic has passed you can be sure there will be many folks that remember who was an a$$hole and who wasn't...
...funny thing is that if it were some other commodity like gas, milk or water and people were buying it because thy were scared of some impending "doom", the government would step in and deal with any "gougers". But, since the people are buying ammo because of the current administation and said government is probably worried about and/or scared of a heavily armed populace, well, if anything they would likely be in favor of making ammo as expensive as possible.
Woah! almost crossing into tinfoil territory! LOL

If you want to see how bizarre things are down in the US at the moment,go and have a look at the Gunbroker auction site.People are "offering" bulk Winchester 22 ammo at between 30-40 US$ a box(same stuff that goes here for 17$ at WM),and Winchester primers at 60-100US$ per K!,and people still seem to be snapping this up.
You just hope that this craziness eventually dies down and supplies and prices eventually come back to normal(although there doesnt seem to be any sign of that happening anytime soon)

, I'm hoping once Nazi Pelosi and the Demoncrats get the bums rush out of Congress in 2010, the heat will be off. "Let us pray".
Stopped by the local shop the other day to check out reloading components and noticed that Nosler's broke $70 for a box of 50 bullets. A sales rep came by and asked if I needed help- "No, no thanks, just gonna need a moment to pick my jaw up off the floor"
