The RESISTER began quietly canvassing manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers to find out why. Retailers and wholesalers were patiently waiting for cartridge manufacturers to finish their annual production which they (the distributors), said usually reduced primer availability until early summer. When we talked to the manufacturers they said the U.S. government had placed orders for ammunition SIX TIMES their normal annual commission. Some quick fourth-grade math completed the story. In a normal year, the federal government purchases approximately 1.7 million rounds for its myriad unconstitutional law enforcement agencies. This excludes the various arsenals which produce ammunition for the military. This year the federal government purchased over one BILLION rounds. It gets uglier. This year the federal government began arming the IRS and the EPA. The Fed's are also expanding the FBI's HRT, the BATF's enforcement branch, and DOE's private army. Juxtapose this with the federal government's determination to abrogate the Second Amendment. If anyone has information pertaining to this issue write us.
