It seems as if the retailers in the story are trying to do right by the customer by not arbitrarily jacking up the prices - but if the manufacturer is charging more, then that cost is passed on to the customer. (Side note: this is the same faulty "logic" from the Dhimmi-crats when they try to impose more taxes and regulations on manufacturers - it just makes the goods more expensive to the customer)
If the LEOs and po-po are short of ammo, then let them petition the DHS to give from their 1.2 billion round stash. (This does not apply to Peace Officers)
My club continues to have .22, centerfire pistol ammo, and primers available, though we are limited to one brick of .22s/primers and 2 boxes of centerfire, per week. Re the man in the article photo, 100 primers is less than one trip to the range for me, but he has to take what he can get.
Right now you have people buying every round they can -at any price. Just like they did in the last ammo panic-and the one before that-and the one before that. This is just a blind panic. When it ends all the guys who bought all this ammo will be on the internet. Wineing that they cannot get there money back-just like the last time and the one before that. So please keep buying all that ammo for guns YOU don't own. Because I'll NEVER give you half what you paid for it. Just like I did the last five times.
"...done by the manufacturers to drive prices up..."
This makes no sense. If manufacturers thought prices were too low they could simply make manufacture less w/o staging a charade of runs on ammo. And they'd have done it a long time ago. Furthermore, today they could sell an enormous amount of ammo at these much higher prices. But they aren't -- which confirms this isn't some ammo makers conspiracy. When a .223/5.56 shipment enters a store it sell out in a few hours and can't be replaced until who knows when -- this is in every store I've checked.
Demand has skyrocketed, and when demand increases, so do prices. This is Econ 101. Thank the ammo salesmen in the Whitehouse & Congress.
Sorry, I have NEVER seen shit like this. I know people who are buying every round they can afford at ANY price. It doesn't make sense unless you believe that the end is near.

I sure hope we don't find out that this was done by the manufacturers to drive prices up.......................

Self-fulfilling prophecy?
