"We know"?
I wonder how badly we'd have been trounced in WWII if today's entitled whiners had been running the show back when essentially the entire civilian manufacturing base was taken over for the war effort. We've been at war for over 10 years. We've expanded the Border Patrol (who, along with the Coast Guard fall under the dreaded DHS). Yet there was no ammo shortage until Newtown. You can still go buy a new Ford. You can still go buy a rifle. You can go to the grocery without a ration book. Oh the weeping and gnashing of teeth we'd see here if we actually had to do that again today. The cry of socialism would be deafening. After a decade of war, the vast majority of the population isn't affected in any way, and yet we complain more stridently than our parents (or grandparents, depending on age, I suppose) ever did.
So of course let's boycott the manufacturers of ammunition based on misinformation and our own sense of entitlement. How dare they sell ammunition to the Border Patrol, etc?
We know of several shell companies that are buying in large quantities then warehousing. In many cases it is these shell companies that received the contracts. Many are owned by rich democrats who had advanced knowledge of what the administration was planning thus bought ammo and weapons for the last two years. All they do is a holding company function with warehousing. They buy low then sell at an inflated price.
Adding 30 million new gun owners is a large part of the problem. It has just made the market very large.
But in tracking back the government orders, who got the contracts, there have been a few holding/shell companies that seem to have gotten the contracts. And the principles of those companies are all very rich democrats. Insider information, buying low then selling at inflated prices. Very close to being illegal.
