Wat...

I hate capitalism.

Why do you hate CTD? Because you think their prices are too high? Go buy your ammo from Wal-Mart, they are usually pretty cheap. Oh wait, they are always sold out.

Damn CTD for trying to squeeze as much as they can out of last minute panic buyers. Or keep prices high during tax refund season. CTD is offering something a lot of companies aren't right now, inventory. Want to shoot that new gun you just bought, but having a hard time finding ammo? Well there is ammo out there, but you will be charged a service fee for not preparing. You would think after the 2008 elections people would have learned their lesson, but apparently not. If you don't like the prices, don't buy it. And don't complain, it's not their fault you didn't stock up while times were good.

Well there ya go. Problem adverted, yet CTD keeps their prices high. Obviously they still have people buying ammo, perhaps the type of impulsive panic buyer they are catering to.

Yeah, my dad bought that Micro Compact we saw yesterday but we're not shooting our 1911's for a buck fifty a round.

And CTD has ALWAYS catered to the nutbags. Our local CTD actually makes me uncomfortable-never fails when I go in there some dude has his wife and kids in there lecturing them on the new world order or how the government wants his guns.

That aside, the cheapest place I've found for ammo is actually Gunbroker. Their .45 ammo is running about .75 a round if bought in bulk.

.308 ammo on the other hand is insane everywhere, and I'll be damned if I'd pay .50 a round for .22LR.

You've obviously never paid for 8x56R then.....

with prices the way they are I'm no shooting much any more. when I do shoot I damn well hit what I'm aiming at.

Talking about the things that make guns go pew pew. And people are complaining about the prices.

Did I miss something?  Is there someone trying to ban ammo?

Yeah I don't shoot either. Just not worth a couple hundred bucks in ammo plus range fees.

Nobody's trying anything with ammo, the preppers and nuts are buying mass amounts of ammo because of gun control talk (totally logical amirite) then when the rednecks go to get the ammo the nuts alreadt bought they assume Obama has cut supplies and panic.

In turn, the ammo companies are sending out less ammo to keep the market rush going so you have guys waiting at the doors when the shops open to buy two boxes of .22 ammo they refuse to shoot because they don't understand basic economics. If they'd quit buying ammo they won't shoot there'd be ammo.

So annoying.
