I was at my local Academy Sports today to pick up a few boxes of 20 gauge target loads. The shelves were rather empty. There were some but mostly field loads. Even the rifle and pistol cartridges were slim and few.
I asked the guy if they were going out of buisness and he said people were just buying up everything.
Also they had few guns for sale. Most shelves were empty.
Is there an issue going on with firearms and ammo?
Yes, there is. The widespread rioting and looting, combined with the fact that most law enforcement agencies have had their hands tied by mayors of many liberally governed cities, has sparked a serious buying spree of ammunition. Law abiding people are realizing that they just might not better depend on law enforcement for protection, and are preparing to handle it themselves. It should not come as a surprise to anyone.
