I,____ being a reasonable person, hereby affirm to not buy 9mm for more than $11.99, .22LR for more than $1.99 and .223 for more than $7.99.

We are hurting ourselves by panic buying! If we leave ammo on the shelves we can restore some normalcy to the pricing and availability. The ammo will come back. It always does. Go out and have fun and shoot a little bit of what you have. Relax and show some self control.
 
Try "I,______________ being a reasonable person, hereby affirm to not resell 9mm for more than $11.99, and to deflate the tires of anyone who dares to try"

Now, we're gettin' somewhere.

"I'll stop buying if you do" ...*snicker* :D

I think I can agree to the OP statement, since I don't own anything that shoots 9mm, and if I did, I have loads of brass to load up. I am good for a couple years on 22 (if I ever actually shoot it that is, otherwise it may go past years). And I have accumulated several thousand .223 cases from picking them up off the ground, plus have much more unfired, once that's gone I'll be good just reloading.

.40 and .45 should be about the same as .223 for me. I might well not actually need to buy ammo any more. I hope. ;)
 
I'll pay $15 max for 9mm and $20 max for .45/10mm/and most other calibers.

It used to be $10 for 9mm and $15 for .45 and $20 for all others.

Show had one big ammo guy selling 1000 rnds of 9mm for $989. People were openly mocking the supplier and no one was buying.
 
I also promise to never buy .223 that costs $7.99, or .22 LR that costs $1.99.

I much prefer Black Hills for my .223, Eley for my various match .22's or CCI Mini Mags for my plinking/hunting .22's.

Honestly I've never understood the desire to shoot the really cheap stuff. I've spent hundreds, and sometimes thousands on a gun, why wouldn't I run reasonably good ammo through it. I think I even spend more on my .223 that I reload since I'm usually loading up SMK's and match grade primers.
 
I only buy in bulk, or never at all, so I can't exactly sign the dotted line on that one.
 
So, maybe we should let Obama set the prices............
Why is everyone against free market forces settling this?

Want to stop hoarding? Let's have .22lr selling for $100 per brick and 223 selling for $5/round. That way, only those who REALLY want it will pay that price......
And when everyone has maxxed out their credit cards, supply will catch up to demand
 
I remember back when gasoline was $0.77/gallon. When it was nearing $2 several years ago I told one of my friends that if it went over $2.50 that would be my line in the sand and that I would not buy gasoline at those prices. He looked at me like I was an idiot and he was probably right.
 
So, how many of you guys want to sell me some of your stash of ammo at the prices quoted?

I promise I will shoot it myself!
 
I just saw a site tonight that had 9mm in stock. American Eagle for $49.99/50 rounds. That is absurd. I can remember back when gasoline was $.25/gal and a can of Copenhagen was $.25/can when I was in college. Maybe I'm older than I think. I can still load 'em for the prices we USED to pay.
 
I just shoot 22 LR and whatever I can reload. I am saving my lunch money and will buy a large amount of ammo when it becomes available at reasonable prices.
 
I agree we shouldn't pay stupid prices. That's just common sense. But how are you so sure everything will return to normal? I'm not so sure gas prices, or taxes, or anything else will return to "normal" (i.e. what I used to pay). I think there is a real possibility that ammo shortages and higher prices will be the new normal to some degree.
 
17$... no, wait, 18$...23$! 17$ 58$!!!!!:what:
