This my first post on this or any gun forum. Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere on this forum. I did a search but was not able to find anything.
I just started (target) shooting in September of this year and I have a question regarding the price and availability of ammo. I have asked at several gun shops why ammo is so hard to find and the cost is so high. I have gotten the following responses.
1. Everyone is hoarding it because Obama is in office and the manufacturers cannot keep up with production.
2. The government is subsidizing the U.S. manufacturers to not produce ammo for the general public.
3. Some states are passing legislation to not allow rounds made of lead to sold in their states.
4. It is hunting season.
Is any of this true or what is the real reason?
(I am looking for inexpensive 9mm, .38 Spec., .30 Cal. Carbine and 30.06 for target shooting)
