Yes I remember that well the ammo scare. People that bought from Walmart couldn't find any ammo on the shelves along with other sporting goods stores. Those gun shops that did have the ammo raised the prices and put limits on how much one person could buy.Yes, yes! And FMJs are only supposed to wound the enemy, thus tying up support resources to deal with the injured soldier, and the Nazi's had proof of the extra terrestrials we captured and imprisoned at Area 51, and the ammo shortage was a deliberate strategy of the current Administration to scare so many people into buying all the ammo up that "regular folks" couldn't find any!
(Yeah...that last one was actually said here on THR ... seriously!)
If I remember one of the stories for everyone to go buy up the ammo was that they were going to make it so that each bullet is identifiable to purchaser and this would result in prices going up. Also with the current administration it was said they would be cracking down on this after the health care reform issues.
Sounds like the so called gas shortage and crises of 1974 and 1979 when they had gas rationing odd plates one day and even plates the others.
