[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 946480, member: 30902"] Without getting too political or sounding like a conspiracy nut just keep this in mind. There are one hell of a lot of very anti gun people working for the federal gov't, anti-gun and anti-hunting both in fact. The bulk of the bureaucracy exists to grow it's own powers through regulation. There has long been a desire by the anti-gunners in this country to attempt and end around of the 2nd Amendment by using the regulatory process. What better way to further the anti gun agenda that many of these individuals have than to make ammo so scarce and expensive that most people currently involved in the shooting sports find other hobbies. As a rule businesses that actually produce "things" succeed by providing products that people can afford, not by screwing us out of our money. Just keep the above in mind when we get irritated about ammo prices and availability. I've spent hundreds of hours on the phone with the same people at more than one ammo mfg over the years and I have seen and heard first hand what they go through and how their ability to stay in business is made tougher and tougher by the regulatory state over the years. This is why you just won't see people who aren't already involved someway in the industry decide one day, "Hey let's start a new ammo company" producing ammo. [/QUOTE]
