I'm not buying the hoarding senerio entirely anymore. A remington arms representative talks about their brand new plant primarily for production of short supply ammo, but where does the hoarding start when larger size gun stores are not receiving any? I was told to just forget about 380 this summer, while out of the other side of the rep's mouth "We are producing what gives us the best ROI.
CCI could raise their MSRP to $20 a box for mini-mags and get it. I would think they would be hard pressed to find anything else to produce that would give them a better return. I'm not saying that hoarding is not going on, but there is something else behind not being able to find anything. If it was so damn profit centered by supply, General Motors would start making 380 acp's.
One idea that our President mentioned early on in his political career, was regulating the supply of ammo. At the time by generating a new tax.
This is just one Bob idea for thursday.
