And just when I thought the ammo drought was looking better....

I have roughly 12K of rimfires saved up from the last few shortages.

At least there are seven million rounds out there somewhere....

Coming soon to your favorite auction site!

The 22LR will be resold but the center fire rounds will be delivered to mayors and journalists throughout Mexico. Lead first.

I have about 20,000 rounds of rimfire I've bought over the last 12-14 years when it was cheap because I used to shoot fairly regularly. The range I was shooting at most recently is run by the Conservation Dept. and they took every opportunity to close last year that they could. Now that they're open ammo is hard to come by, so, if I can't replace it I don't shoot it.
Factor in criminals now stealing this valuable commodity and I may have to start identifying as a needlepoint aficionado.

Maybe they plan to swap it for a truckload of lumber..?

…or trade the ammo for —microchips— needed for GM auto plants in Mexico.

Welcome to the new global economy. Barter on a scale not seen since the Bronze Age.

Kind of makes me wonder about firearms/accessories produced within a state and the legal authority of the Federal government to regulate them. At this point I'm venturing into the relm of another forum though....

mokin:
Saturday's Wall Street Journal (maybe Friday edition) has an article on the front page about some of the types of components tied up in either Szechuan or Shanghai Port, China.
The article stated that this new, port 'virtual shutdown' is caused by a variation (?) of the d*****d virus. Sorry -- forgot that I'm Not on AKfiles.....

Can the US decide to give some sort of incentives to at least entice the Pharmaceutical industry to pull all of its sourcing and production Out of Communist China?
* A serious large fraction or majority of several critical drugs - for the whole world - are manufactured there, are they not? My sources are usually the WSJ.

Let's hope that US gangs don't copy this ammo "redistribution" method.

All over the place, so closed.
