[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1552779, member: 198"] I enjoyed watching the same thing in my area too. But what I enjoyed even more was watching the stores immediately restock that ammo at the normal prices from the the time the panic started right up to the end like it never happened. Now the shooters have a nice supply of ammo and the local price gougers have fell flat on their faces. Only a few online bulk ammo sites were able to take advantage of the panic. Overall though the prices only went up slightly on 5.56 and barely affected .223. Only a few big box stores briefly experienced empty shelves (minus the expensive rounds) but most people could just drive across town to another Wal-mart (for example) and find a fully stocked shelf. The defacto ban on all 5.56/.223 by banning the "armour piercing" variety would eventually have worked because of panicking. Thankfully more Americans , including the House and Senate, oppose it than are for it and were able to stop it. For now. [/QUOTE]
