If you are looking to purchase ammunition, you may see some empty shelves, as demand is high for ammunition and guns. One of the reasons can be contributed to politics.

Ryan Horsley, manager of Red’s Trading Post says, “There's been a lot of talk about another assault weapons ban just notable by the attorney general and also you're starting to hear and see a lot of talk on the ban of ammunition as well.

John Howard, store manager of Sportsman’s Warehouse says, “The day after the election it was crazy, we had people coming and loading up with shopping carts, spending 2000, 3000 dollars on ammunition, reloading, guns because there's rumors out there you won't be able to get the ammunition.”

Both store managers agree that when it comes to purchasing the ammunition, the military has first priority.

“As long as we've got guys in Iraq and Afghanistan, they're first priority, law enforcement is second, then we're third,” says Horsley

Horsley says overall customers are buying ammunition by the case load, even a couple of cases at a time.

He says, “The same thing is happening here when we've got 25 distributors right now on some common ammunition, we can't find any, any 9 mm, 45, 40 also rifle ammunition 223 & 308 is very difficult to find right now.”

Nothing but a major overreaction.

Let me guess? Stocking up on ammunition so a n***** can't take their guns? *rolls eyes*
