Guns And Ammo Production Maxed Out: “This is a Society Preparing For War”

President Barack Obama is, arguably, the best gun salesman ever. Over 65 million guns have been purchased since the President took office in 2009. FBI background check statistics indicate that, over the last twelve months, Americans purchased a new gun every 1.5 seconds, a figure which suggests there is much more to the recent panic buying than people just stocking up to go hunting or sports shooting.

The following guns and ammo industry report indicates that every major gun and ammunition manufacturer in the country is running at 100% capacity, with many so far behind that they’ve stopped taking new orders altogether.

Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.

RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days.

FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out!

Armalite: Maxed out.

DPMS: Can’t get enough parts to produce any more product.

COLT: Production runs increasing weekly…bottle necked by Bolt carrier’s.

LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity…can’t get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.

Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind.

AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.

MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.

RELOADERS… ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra’s for reloading purposes… it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted…

Many who have exercised their Second Amendment protections are first time buyers concerned with Federal and State gun grabs being spearheaded by politicians who are using the Sandy Hook school shooting as a pretext to restrict access to personal defense rifles, larger capacity magazines, and even ammunition.

But this may only be a part of why there’s so much demand. There are millions of Americans who are genuinely concerned with not just the government taking their guns, but all of their other Constitutionally protected freedoms as well.

We understand what happens in regimes that disarm their people. We’ve seen thedemocide of the last century, which left hundreds of millions of people dead or displaced when their governments turned on them.

We are determined to prevent it from happening in the land of the free.

Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand.

It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20—were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone.

This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.

With over 300 million firearms in America in the hands of private citizens, the people are sending a loud and clear message to their government.

Back off. Stop encroaching on our personal liberties. Limit yourself to your Constitutionally granted powers and nothing more.

You’re not the only ones that are armed.
 

I am still buying myself.................
 

These manufacturing companies sound like a bunch of slackers

Smith and Wesson can only produce 300 guns a day? Are you sure that is correct? Seems like a very low number. I would have thought they could do more than that in an hour??
 

Stock, maybe they should move the manufacturing overseas to countries that are more productive.

I just question the information. Of course as usual with this kind of "news" the sources are lacking. I just don't understand why people just believe without questioning anything?? I think it is every thinking persons duty to be skeptical and question everything. Don't people realize that there are many folks out there looking to take advantage of those who do not question.
 

Packer, either that or they have a 4 man work crew. When they're not making guns, they are customer service reps, shipping clerks, accountants, and maybe even a salesperson.
 

My grandfather and my great grandfather both worked for the Ithaca gun company years ago. My grandfather was there over 40 years. He made a LOT of guns! :)
 

Red, I checked out the ammo situation at Walmart again yesterday. No bulk 22 cal and no AK ammo. 223 or 338 Win mag but they had a bunch of 06, 30-30 etc. but it was ALL Federal brand. From the looks of it, Federal is on overtime. :)

Old Ithaca model 37 light enough to run in one hand most the day and built to last. i have tromped many miles running hounds with one. Now a days its used mostly for clay pigeons, it draws notice from hard core shooters on occasion being usable for such yet affordable.Just one of many quality arms from them,but a favorite of many. bottom ejection,dual slide rails high vis sight,optional deer slayer barrel made it suit multiple people and uses. Hats off to those old timers craftsmanship.

Just bought a case of 12 ga from Cabello...delivered in 2 days...

Seemed like all other stock was on hand...
 

anyone know if the U.S. military is running short on ammo or guns yet? I see that after the U.S. of A, the Russians are making the most guns. Maybe we could do a RAFTA and get some shipped in quick.

Actually the us army has faced a number if 5.56 shortages ever since the first gulf war but especially during the occupation of Iraq. At a few points in time rationing of rounds for training was necessary.
 

Do you guys really think America has a shortage of firearms and ammo? I thought there was 64 million gun purchases this year alone? How does that justify a shortage? 64 million guns... that's just crazy in my book. That's almost twice the population of Canada worth of guns bought in one year. Unfortunately, I feel the way things are going you folks are going to need more than armed guards in the schools in order to protect citizens and children from direct and indirect fire. How about a new legislation or a change to the 2nd to include mandatory body armor for every "free" person?

Shortage is when demand greater than supply,so yes we "think" there is a shortage. hundreds of millions of people not all of which own a gun. Crazy to you. Not sure why you are worried. Body armor negated by head shots,extremity arteries ect. probably create a we think there is a shortage if made mandatory.

Nothing wrong with the 2nd amendment just the way it is, "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"!

I have been around guns all my life, I am 64, the only fear of guns I have is of a government wanting to violate our rights to own them... I will never ever surrender my right to be armed....

If the government would stop buy all the ammo then the public might be able to get some. They are doing this so when the new ammo comes out they will tax the crap out of it. The governemnt may not get any gun control laws passed but they will slip in an ammo tax somewhere.
