Gun/Ammo Boom Is About To Go BUST.

Today in Three Rivers, Michigan I visited both Walmart and Meijer to find the usual-No Ammo.
I ended up at Dunhams Sporting Goods. There they had Pistol Ammo of all caliber's-9mm, .40S&W, .380 & 45Acp. 38 special in 250 round bulk packs. Had others too and a lot of boxes.
There ammo wasn't priced much higher than Walmart's. I purchased $300.00 worth. I asked the clerk" WOW when did you folks get Ammo?" She said" Four days or so ago". I said" No one bought it all up yet?" She said "Nope and a lot of people have looked at it and ended up buying other stuff."
Everyone is so stocked up and hoarding a good supply now, that the market is dramatically cooling off.
Watch all the stores fill up now and have a glutton of stock in the next 6 months.
Gun/ammo boom is going to be like the housing market. About to Bust!

I see those new people buying up all the guns starting to buy ammo and shooting more. Hopefully we'll see some PRIMERS SOON
Ya singin' my song, Elvis.[:D]
Hopefully they won't be $70.00 a brick. That's what I paid for the last 1,000 count I bought. Near broke my heart (and wallet).
I sure hope you are right.
Me too.
Computer there showed 100 mile radius of stocked ammo.
Don't know if it will sit or be sold out in 24 hours but I think the ammo is coming on now.
We shall see if the hoarding continues or if the scare is over.
Just wait a little while longer, when people start getting laid off, ammo and guns will be available for cheap.
You might have hit this on the head.
This area Elkhart In. and its surrounding towns Three Rivers,Mi.etc.
Has had massive unemployment,I am one of them...but I'm gonna get me some of that ammo[:)]As for primers,found a shop that isnt trying to gouge,and got on a standing order.They get some call and I pay w/ a cc and pick up at my leisure.[8D]
Glad to see some others from my location on here.

Most people agreed that panic buying is the problem but they didn't see it ending anytime soon.
In all the stores I have checked .22s are almost non-existant. Usually a few boxes of .22 shorts & .22 mags & rarely a couple of boxes of .22 LRs. The one place I did find a few bricks he wanted $40/brick which I assume is why he still had them.
I don't NEED any but since I can't get them I WANT some. (But not at $40.)

HEY INDIANA GUYS
come check out ingunowners.com if you're not already there.
First, This administration is not putting guns on the top of the list. It's bad political Juju.
Second, there may be a sucker born every minute, but sooner or later, that well is going to run dry.
Third, this economy, one way or the other, will put a stop to this. Either things are going to get so bad that no one will be able to afford ammo, or things will turn around, and if there's no "panic" about where we are headed, the sales will dry up, and things will be back to normal.
Guns will still be flying off the shelves but ammo will become more plentiful. And abama will most likely slow down the action in Afganistan and Iraq freeing up some production time for civilian orders.
they have been at it 24-7 since the "election"
The same box shows up in the gun shop for $45, which is a major rip off, in my opinion.

You don't have to like the guy many of us don't...This is America, but that chit is uncalled for. There's black, white, brown, and yellow soldiers and Marines fightin' right now for us to be laying up on our arses BSing on GB. What do you call them?

I don't give a rat's * about your DD-214, son.
You are the idiot who's gonna get an otherwise decent exchange of ideas poofed.
Pull your head out of your * and start acting like a grown-up.
Yeah real tough guy talk from a 63J10.
Who the hell said i was a mechanic? I was infantry at 17 years old that is 11-b.
Im typing not talking.
I would guess you were never in any service or got a medical discharge and live with cats and watch nbc. During the day you play with your liberal hippie friends and secretly hate yourself.
Californians are just like a virus. They spread out because they created a pile of usless crap they want to get away from and then create the same usless crap in another area.
Stay there man. We need you there for the race war!
Went to My gun shop today, which is ranked Number 2 in the state for selling guns.
I noticed it was dead in there today. Now this place has been a mad house for 5 months now. Didn't matter when you came in, was a circus.
My salesman told me that 2 weeks ago was like someone turned the lights out.
P.S. They have all types of ammo there too. Shelves are stocked.
Here comes the bust.
But denigrating the man like that is vulgar and base.It reflects far worse on the user of the word, than on the object of it.
The only site I know of that would permit it is the uncensored site: www.1776x2.com

You know, you sit there and make RACIAL SLURS that do no one in this forum any good! There are families of all races and colors who have sons and daughters in the service fighting overseas for this country. They fight for our rights, yes, even the right to own guns and ammunition. Politics are one thing to espouse, but your Racist attitude far crosses the line in decency to human beings.
Moderators!! Where are you on this? Is this to be tolerated at Gun Brokers? If this is allowed to start now, when or will you stop it?
by the end of june a gun dealer told me the price of ammo will go up abot 33%
