Did the election results cause a run on ammo?

I strongly disagree - they have willing customers paying those prices, and they're simply making a profit. If it were your business, I imagine you'd do similar, as would most anyone.

Locally it did. A local large gun store in the area has sold out its entire ammo inventory mid-way through today. I went in yesterday to pick up another bottle of Hoppe's Benchrest and the place was busier than I've seen it since the ramp up to Y2K.

Imagine what it will be like if Hillary captures the White House in a couple of years. Provided, of course, that private ownership of firearms is still legal by then.

If Hillary captures the whitehouse (and the Liberals still have control of the Senate and House after the 2008 elections), we will be eating steak with dulled butter knives (they will ban anything even remotely close to a weapon), making deals with terrorists, slapping criminals on the wrist for MAJOR offenses, and taking orders from the United Nations! Rant over...

When it comes to the supposed arsenal license and ATF home inspections, my question is this: Whatever happened to the 4th Ammendment, unreasonable search and seizure? This premise violates so many protections in the bill of rights, its not funny. If this extreme, radical proposal ever saw the light of day, the Supreme Court would almost be mandated to overturn it, the constitutional violations would be enormous.

I didn't stock up because of the election.

I stocked up in case panicky shooters start driving the prices up.

Fortunately, one of the dealers at ar15.com had great prices on 20rd AR mags (which I prefer), and Sportsmansguide had great prices on Wolf .223, including sardine cans of new Wolf. EDIT: dealer was www.44mag.com

So I purchased... a considerable amount... of everything.

I'm getting into Carbine matches after the holidays anyway, so I need food for my Dissipator, and a "fork" to feed it. Or a "plate"... dang, this metaphor isn't working out.

Don't be too sure. Everyone is counting on the Bush SCOTUS justices to act like strict constitutional judges. For all we know they're a bunch of one-world, open border globalists just like him. So far, they haven't had a test case, on anything.

One thing is certain: The internationalization of America cannot take place with 200 million guns floating around in private hands. The administration knows this. If SCOTUS is going to rubber-stamp the Bush globalist vision, they're going to have to gut the Second Amendment along with the Fourth.

After a short search the best price I could find was $7.19/20rnd box for Mil Surp or $4.97/20rnd box for steel cased Silver Bear from Cheaper than Dirt:

Luckily for me I bought 960 rnds of SA from AIM last month.

It's called supply and demand. Capitalism, what a concept!
If they are not worth that to you, don't buy. If enough people do that, then the price drops. "Price gouging" is a media invention to slam capitalism.

"I don't do business with price gougers. That's what doubling prices overnight amounts to, pure and simple."

How would you feel if you wanted to make a big ammo purchase, and the seller said "I don't do business with hoarders. That's what buying cases of ammo amounts to, pure and simple". ??
