Need more folks to hear this. Common sense ain't so common and his call to support those who didn't try to bend us over shouldn't fall on deaf ears.

Price gougers were fun. I'd waste their entire mornings or afternoons looking at stuff, asking questions, and putting the items on the checkout counter one-by-one. Heavy stuff they helped me to lug too(cans of over priced ammo or what not). Luckily most of the price gougers were individually run places or just a few people on it together, so they were the ones to do the heavy lifting. Then when I've felt I wasted enough of their time, I'd just walk out.

I applaud his common sense.....

IF you didn't buy an AR-15 before all this happened, you didn't need on in the first place, and AMEN to the .22lr ammo speech he gave!

Why not stock up when you can, it doesn't go bad, if you need it you got it and if you die then your not going to miss the cash.

After the last ammo craze was over I bought 15...YES 15 BRICKS of .22 I sold a couple of them to people on this forum for ORIGINAL PRICE so a guy could take his kid shooting and the rest I gave away as CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!

You cant imagine the look on kids faces when they opened a present and its a brick of .22lr this past Christmas.

There are just as many gouging in the classified as there are at the gun show.

Thatīs the most common sense thing I have heard on this whole deal.

You are correct, Sir. But the supply chain is starting to catch up, while buyers are reaching saturation. I stopped by my local Walmart (in a town of 7500 people) at 7:15 on the way to work this morning and they had around 50 bulk packs of (325) Federal 40gr .22lr and about 30 bulk packs of (100) Federal 55gr .223.

They had LOTS of .243/.270/.30-30,.30-06,7.62x39 Tula,7mm mag and 300 mag. They had some 9mm, 380,40 and 45 too. No .357 mag or Sig. This is waaaaaaaaay different than a few weeks ago.

If folks would STOP buying from the scalpers, prices will stabilize quickly.

My wife and I bought:
300 rds of Federal .223 55gr for 35 cents per round
975 rds of Federal .22lr for 4.5 cents per round

Ammo is being produced and it's out there.

I agree with that vid 100%. I've told several people no thanks I will not pay their dumb**s prices.

Absolutely, its funny how many new members have so many guns to sell to. Lots of NIB optics ready. The facebook post are even worse. But like some say on here, its capitalism...... I still call BS. I see as excuse to screw over your fellow man.

Its not just scalpers...or the people willing to pay their prices.

Its also "THE SKY IS FALLING" freak out hoarders that didn't know there was an ammo shortage until months after it started.

These people got freaked out by their lack of knowledge and lack of ammo.

I cant tell you how many people I know that freaked out and ran out and bought 9mm pistols only to be AMAZED they couldn't get ammo!

Now they are surfing every place they can find and buying EVERY bullet they can find for EVERY caliber they got!
