re: Raise the price of ammo

At Slidell Academy the other day I got into the ammo shortage issue with the gun salesman. He said they get plenty of 22 ammo coming in, but the same folks show up early every delivery day buying. He's sure they re-sell online somewhere and can't possibly use what they buy. Higher prices might curtail the hoarders/resellers and allow average consumers to have a reliable supply at retailers. But it is more complicated than that. It is localized. He said that most areas (including Texas) don't have this problem.
Next time I have a driving business trip to Texas, I may stock up.

Thank you Jesus someone with some sense has arrived. Exactly my point.
Did he mention why they don't just raise the price? As a corporation why sell something below market value and allow someone else to make that profit? And it's not like those people that show up everyday are going there to buy anything else. Certainly not as much as the average consumer.

I'll be going to academy in Dallas soon...............I'll hoard up a bunch of .22 and sell to you fine OBers at only a semi inflated price.

He doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. The problem is widespread all over the county. I was in Texas several weeks ago and the shelves at the wal marts and the one gander mountain I stopped in had less ammo than I see in Baton Rouge. In Columbus, Ohio last week 500 people were in line at the local Cabelas before it opened to try to get some 22 on the door buster sale.
