"Sorry, we are out," seems to be the words told over and over and over at firearms and ammo dealers in the U.S. I have been to many local places and found the same true. Maybe, just maybe, this is a sign of things to come during the President Obama reign.
It's also a sign of panic, not totally unfounded, though. People are afraid that new rules and regulations will cause ammo and guns to become scarce or worse, unavailable. "Buy now, while it's available," is what people are thinking.
Personally, I just want to buy enough ammo to shoot my guns. I am not hoarding and I do not want to, but if this keeps up, I will have to "get my share."
