Old guy here advises you to buy more ammo. Now.
Here’s why.
- Massive US shipments of munitions – small arms as well as artillery—to Israel and Ukraine have greatly depleted US military stocks which urgently need to be replaced.
- Nitrocellulose, a critical ingredient for gunpowder, is now harder to access than ever.
- As much as the election of Donald Trump as President has benefitted gun owners on the legal and political side, his promised tariffs on imports are likely to hit hard on many of the foreign-made cartridges that have hitherto been economical for us to buy.
- The election of a pro-gun President has prevented a panic-buy of ammo after the ascent of another anti-gun President. The firearms industry calls this a “Trump slump” and as a result, unexpectedly, a lot of ammo is now cheaper than it was before the election.
I just placed a large order with SGAmmo.com, which I’ve had excellent luck with for years. My respectful advice: go thou and do likewise. In the near future, you may be very glad that you did.
