Paul and Claymore send us a link to CNS<\/a> which says that the nation’s police departments are having to beg and borrow ammo while the Feds go on a buying spree;<\/p>\n

Chief Pryor of Rollingwood, Texas says of the shortage:<\/p>\n

“We started making phone calls and realized there is a waiting list up to a year. We have to limit the amount of times we go and train because we want to keep an adequate stock.”<\/p>\n

“Nobody can get us ammunition at this point,” says Sgt. Jason LaCross of the Bozeman, Montana police department.<\/p>\n

LaCross says that manufacturers are so far behind that they won’t even give him a quote for an order.<\/p>\n

“We have no estimated time on when it will even be available,” LaCross says.<\/p>\n

He worries that when ammunition is finally available the high price will squeeze the department’s budget.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, oh, yeah, the Department of Homeland Security isn’t telling Congress why they’re buying so much ammo – 1.6 billion rounds. <\/p>\n

Of course, those of you who heeded my warning last year that the Obama Administration was buying up ammo have no problems, right? I hope you didn’t listen to the naysayers who said that it would have no effect on ammo availability or prices. I was buying 5.56mm for about $.40\/round last year and now it’s up to over $1\/round, that is if you can find it. Even .22 ammo is at a premium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
