    What actually caused this buy all the ammo you can mentality in the USA?
    I realise it was something to do with Obama but that's about it.
    So when everyone has more ammo than they could shoot in three life times and the ammo manufactures have caught up with demand what then? There will be a glut and ammo will be quarter the price of the stuff everyone stock piled?
    Ammo producers close down or down size?
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    Hopefully it then gets here at a hugely discounted price. HUGE SARCASM FONT NEEDED cause we know what our importers are like.

    If your an ammo producer you wouldn't shoot yourself in the foot (HA!) by actually supplying enough ammo. You would continue to drip feed the shooting community to keep that fear of never getting enough running to keep demand high knowing you can actually supply almost enough.

    Maybe in about 5 years time people will start thinking they have enough for the apocalypse but probably not as most people will be shooting it as well.

    I would say mainly fear of new restrictions and deep distrust of the govt. I think the way it is now is the new normal.People wont stop hoarding until they can buy anything they want. This is from business insider....

    In the four years since Barack Obama was first elected president in November 2008, an estimated 67 million firearms have been purchased in the United States. That’s more than were sold in almost seven years before his first election.

    Ok,thats just 4 years.If everyone of those people bought just 1 box of ammo,thats a shitload of ammo.Thats more guns than all the armies of the world combined.

    Makes a country pretty much impossible to invade if the entire population is well armed.

    Nz and Aus would be a walk over the way we are trying to disarm the population.

    It would be like, the government coming out tomorrow and saying something like "we are planning to curb the importation of all firearms, and put a 30% tax on all firearm and ammunition sales". I'm pretty sure Kiwis would strip the shelves.

    There is around 400 people ayear killed by rifles of all types here,including the ones wasted by the police.More people are killed by hammers.most of the handgun murders are lowlifes killing eachother in shitholes like Chicago.But if it has a pistol grip or holds more than 10 shots it must be more deadly.Oh and a bayonet lug really makes it deadly.I never heard of someone getting bayoneted in the US lately.Believe me ,we saw the photos of the Aussies guns getting ground up and it aint happening here.All it would take is the cops killing some civilinans over not turning in their shit and cops would be shot on sight.
