Just for fun I stopped by Walmart on the way home too see what ammo they had in stock. Naturally every lick of semi-auto rifle and handgun ammo like 223/5.56, 308, 7.62 and 9mm was gone. Most of the 12 ga. was gone except for some specialty stuff at $5 / 5rd. There was some .22 rounds, but that shelf was a mess so I couldn't tell exactly what was there.
They seemed to have plenty of 30/30, 300 win mag, 270, .17, 22-250 (I think it was this I'm not familiar with this round). Basically bolt-action only ammo.
Should I be looking at picking up some hunting rifles in these calibers? An AWB will come in stages, so we don't even see it, and one of those stages could be "no ammo may be sold that fits any semi-auto weapon". And I want to stay armed.
We are seeing right now how precarious our ammo situation is. There's none out there. All this is trading is just us, selling it to ourselves. What if BHO tossed out an executive order tomorrow diverting 100% of ammo production to military? We'd be screwed, with nothing but very expensive wall hangers.
Some of you have stockpiled ammo. Good for you. I have a total of 20 rounds. How long will your ammo pile last? I'd like to be able to replenish, that's why I'm looking at hunting rifles.
