Yeah, it could be because of the C virus. Or it could be because of the Democratic primaries. Why would folks need ammo for a virus? Are they really envisioning an EOTWAWKI scenario?

Really? You have to ask?

I have enough of the "popular ammo" they have listed to get me by for quite a while. But I am still trying to grow my stock of some of the less popular non bulk ammo.

Got plenty of 100rd mini-mags for sale.
Only $30 each.

Just saw an article regarding cash spreading the virus! That leaves me out of danger of getting sick from it!! ........

 

[Whistler]

Dammit, reload components won't be far behind.

 

[Dad_Roman]

In the words of "Jimmy"......

.....welllll shit.

 

[baboon]

Nice to know my ammo hoard makes up for my 4O1K.

 

[karlac]

You mean now I have to shave and get rid of that week old neckbeard???

 

[Moonpie]

Get your .45aarp right here.

I mean I was going to buy a case this weekend anyway, but yeah we can use the Coronavirus as an excuse.

I don't need an excuse for the .22lr bricks and subsonic 9mm bought today!

Not as long as I'm alive. I've always loved the 40 S&W for my carry guns,and have several of them.
But,I also handload all my ammo,so most ammo increases generally don't affect me.

 

[V-Tach]

Unfortunately the panic ammo buying is real......for whatever reason....

Logic just doesn't come easy to some folks......

Masks and ammo.......who knew?

Apparently more men shop at ammo.com than any of the other genders.

Why would folks need ammo for a virus?

Not sure but why are they buying bottled water in bulk and not buying generators? It takes electricity to run the water supply. Maybe they think employees won't be working at the water plant but for some reason employees will be working at the power plant. They've hoarded their thousand rolls of toilet paper and now are buying a thousand rounds of ammo? Maybe the news just needs to be paid off by the generator manufacturers to produce a story about a run on generators to cause that panic too.
