Love this one. Thanks to the Democrats, ammunition and firearms producers are having a hard time keeping up with demand! Now THAT’S what I call economic stimulus!
What I still don’t get about this idea of gun control is how it’s supposed to work. Criminals don’t care about gun control. All gun control does is take guns out of the hands of those who would use a gun to protect themselves and others. Besides, everywhere there is gun control, there is an increased level in gun related violence/death.
Please note that I’ve added links to the various gun maker’s web sites. I’m also going to add links to some of the weapons mentioned in this article so you can see what it looks like as some have already disappeared.
AMMUNITION & FIREARMS AVAILABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES:
Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns per day. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.
RUGER: Plans to increase capacity from 75% to 100%
FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1.
Remington: Maxed out.
Armalite: Maxed out.
DPMS: Can't get enough parts to produce any more product.
COLT: Production runs increasing weekly. They are bottle necked by a shortage of bolt carriers.
LWRC: Making only black guns, running at full capacity. They can't get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.
Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demands, but is running 30-45 days behind.
AMMO: Every caliber is now allocated. We are looking at a nationwide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible. One billion rounds are produced weekly. Only a small part is available to civilians though. First in line for all ammo is the US military, followed by law enforcement. Civilians are third in line.
MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags. Do not expect any large quantities of magpul mags anytime soon.
RELOADERS... All Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to the ammo manufacturers. None is allocated for civilian reloading purposes. Primer sales to civilians are not expected to resume for six to nine months.
GUN STORE SALES: It’s not just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that are sold out. World War era M1 Garands, M1 carbines and Enfield .303s are gone, along with every last cartridge for them. It’s not just the semi autos that have disappeared from the shelves either. The bolt action center fire rifles are gone too. World War One and Two Russian Mosin-Nagants, of which every gun store always seemed to have 10-20 of, are gone. So is their ammo. Only a dust free space marks their passing.
Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years is gone. This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.
The Anti-Gun Politicians, with calls for new rounds of gun control and weapon bans have done more to promote gun ownership than the NRA ever did.
Well done, Liberal Democrats!
