Read this on the firearm blog... :'(
S&W: Running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages. RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days. FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington: Maxed out! Armalite: Maxed out. DPMS: Can’t get enough parts to produce any more product. COLT: Production runs increasing weekly...bottle necked by lack of bolt carrier’s. LWRC: Making only black guns, running at full capacity...can’t get enough gun quality steel to make barrels. Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind. AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/over 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line. MAGPUL: Behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon. RELOADERS: ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra’s for reloading purposes... it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted... Related commentary from Bob Owens: They didn’t know when they’d be getting anything back in stock, from magazines to rifles to pistols. Manufacturers are running full-bore, but can’t come close to keeping up with market demand. It isn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that are sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, and Enfield .303s are gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seemed to have 10-20—are gone. So is their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years is gone.

Idiots should've bought and stocked up well before the election when they were plentiful!

it's kinda strange to think about all the stuff that's floating around out there. if a foreign army was considering invading I'm sure now they are having second thoughts.

You cannot invade the mainland of the United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.
Based on Mythical quote of Japanese General.

Not if the Demoncrats and their dictatorial leader in the White House have their way.

We can now invade the United States. Their Dictator has disarmed them.
Some future North Korean General. ( Red Dawn anyone ? )

with ammo in such short supply, why is the range still so damn crowded?!
