Nationwide ammo shortage so severe that even cops can’t buy bullets; ammo rationing imminent

Nationwide ammo shortage so severe that even cops can’t buy bullets; ammo rationing imminent

(NaturalNews) One of the great myths of modern society is that the police are heavily armed and have both ammo and personnel in huge numbers. In reality, it’s quite the opposite: police and sheriffs are dangerously under-staffed all across the country in nearly every city and town. Furthermore, severe budget cuts have left law enforcement with dwindling ammunition supplies. In some departments, it’s so bad that nearly the only ammo available is what officers are carrying on their duty belts.

And now it has just gotten far worse.
Thanks to outrageous Sandy Hook fear mongering by the mainstream media and political operatives like Feinstein, Obama, Cuomo and others, the American people have been rushing out to buy up every bullet, every rifle, every handgun and very nearly every gun-related product in the country. This is all because people like Biden, Obama and Feinstein are openly declaring war on the Second Amendment and threatening to outlaw or restrict firearms, magazines and ammunition.
“Channel 2 Action News has learned local police departments cannot get their hands on the ammunition they need,” reports WSBTV in Atlanta.
WSBTV continues:
“There’s been more demand for ammunition than there’s ever been,” reports Jay Wallace, owner of Smyrna Police Distributors in Cobb County. Wallace is now worried some departments could have to wait up to a year for factories to ship certain kinds of rounds in bulk. Leaders with most [police] departments … said they’re prepared to handle short shortages, but not long-term. “We’re going be starting to get very concerned at the six-month level if that’s all we have in stock, because then we have to start planning and rationing.Rationing?
Yep. It’s here already, and the global debt collapse hasn’t even begun yet!

UPDATE: Walmart responds to 'suspended ammo' story

UPDATE FROM PREVIOUS POST:

Walmart responds to 'suspended ammo' story

The blogosphere has exploded with outrage in response to news that Walmart is suspending ammunition sales in anticipation of the Obama administration’s gun-control recommendations to Congress – but the retail giant tells WND the reports aren’t true. “That information is inaccurate,” said Ashley Hardie, a spokeswoman located at Walmart’s corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Ark. WND then asked whether the retail chain is cutting back on orders of ammunition. “No,” Hardie said. “We’re continuing to serve our customers as we have in the past.” She said Walmart’s ammunition sales policy has not changed, even amid talk of gun-control legislation in Washington, D.C. The uproar began when the InvestmentWatch blog posted a story headlined, “Breaking & confirmed: Walmart is not going to order any more ammo.” CNS News cited the report, and talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh mentioned it during his Monday show. According to the InvestmentWatch report, a man claimed to have visited his local Walmart and noticed the store was “out of almost every kind of ammo.”

Wal-Mart Suspends Future Ammo Shipments

Wal-Mart has temporarily discontinued ammunition sales pending “the upcoming decision on the Second Amendment.” The decision by Wal-Mart’s corporate office to discontinue future arms sales is most likely in light of expected anticipated gun control recommendations made to Congress, and uncertainty about the legality of certain guns in the near future.
A Wal-Mart customer was in the office as an unwitting employee called their headquarters about his store’s shortage, only to receive the following response.
“As of right now we are unsure of what new legislation might be coming, and because of this, we are suspending new orders. We will continue to sell what is already in stock in stores and at our distribution centers, but any new orders will not be shipped until the issue is resolved”.
In keeping with its characteristic tight savings and sales techniques, the decreasing stock of ammunition at Wal-Mart has caused prices to increase.  One customer reports a 60-cent increase on all types of ammo still available at the store.
Wal-Mart’s temporary discontinuation of ammunition is certainly good news for anti-gun activists such as forcechange.com and Michael Moore.  The former individually targeted Wal-Mart’s CEO Michael Duke with a letter writing campaign while the latter investigated the superstore’s lax ammo buying regulations in his documentary “Bowling for Columbine.”
