The ammunition manufactures really appreciated the up tick in sales. I just wonder if the real factor in the lack of ammo was the fact that there was a "war" going on in two different places and that there was a high demand for ammo world wide which the manufactors took advantage of. Just wondering??? Also, during the Bush administration, a law was passed by the republicans to cause ammo to have a shelf life of three or four years. Where was the beef over that???
