Ammo is in short supply again - unlike a couple of years ago when it was .22 rimfire, now it's virtually ALL modern cartridges.
The NRA and other rags have run articles saying it's merely "supply and demand" and the manufacturers are making and shipping as much as they can. And most shooters will understand that with high demand, ammo will be snapped up very quickly when it hits dealer shelves.
What people DON'T understand is - why isn't the ammo hitting dealer shelves in the first place?
I've spoken to the sales staff at big box retailers (Cabela's/BassProShops, Academy) as well as little gun shops and the ammo isn't coming in - where they used to get it by the pallet, now they're lucky if they get a case - or sometimes just a few boxes.
I'd like to see an article from the NRA or someone else as to exactly WHERE, WHY, and HOW the supply chain is being interrupted.
