Had a great day at the range today, but it was very concerning that the ammo shelves are still bare. I asked the range a range master why we are still seeing very low volumes at Illinois ranges (likely a very stupid question in its face), are the manufactures not working? Just asking a naive question to get the answer I was looking for.

He said manufacturers are working 24/7. The surplus is going to law enforcement and military. I highly doubt they are using .22LR (I use for target practice and accuracy). Also, no wars.

So when’s the party starting and is anyone making their own rounds now?

the feds are probably buying the ammo so keep stock out of the citizens stockpiles

We don't refine lead domestically, we ship it to China for processing because we're overregulated and they employ slave labor, then ship the refined lead here for processing in to ammunition. Just like every other shortage, this ammunition shortage is entirely artificial, and a national security threat.

That’s EXACTLY how I felt. Somehow, when POTUS is legally installed inter White House next month, we need him to do something about this.

It's been the #1 thing that I haven't quite understood. As far as I know, President Trump has invoked the domestic manufacturing act like 87 times since the plandemic started, but not for firearms or ammunition? To me that says he is confident he has this in the bag, but I'm not going to idle, I'll prepare for the worst.

There is ammo to be had, its just more expensive and takes more effort to catch it in stock.

The president of federal just put out a video a couple days ago about all the shitty messages they are getting, and he explained what they are doing and did a mini factory tour.

LAX ammo had a bunch of 22lr the other day, check there to see if they still have some.

Lots of pedes are reloading or planning on reloading, supplies like primers, brass, powder are all sold out too. There is a secondary market, you might have one locally ie calguns
