The Ammo Surplus
It's feast or famine.
I walked into Wal-Mart this past weekend and was astonished to see 30+ boxes of 9mm on the shelves, as well as a few boxes of just about every common cartridge. It looks like the ammo shortage is over.
The ammo shortage was due to two factors IMO: 1) People with political fear stockpiling ammo AND 2) people recognizing that people were stockpiling ammo and who were hoping to profit from the shortage. Now that there is no shortage, I expect people in group 2 to flood the market with ammo they hoped to hold for profit. (People in group 1 aren't selling.)
If you're in the market for something that was previously hard to get a hold of, I think this summer will be a good time to buy.
