Ammo Scare

The past few months have been rough on gun enthusiasts like Joel. Military demand for ammunition has been high for years due to the fighting in the Iraq and Afghanistan. Recently, with the Obama administration coming into power, many gun hobbyists were afraid that his administration would be passing harsh gun control laws that would essentially eliminate production and sales to civilians. The funny thing is that this caused a scare that had many gun enthusiasts rush out and buy ammo in bulk, essentially creating more demand than supply could cover. Suddenly ammo WAS scarce and the majority of gun hobbyists, Joel included, had trouble finding any ammo to buy.

It seems that the supply end finally caught up with the demand, and Joel was able to find plenty of ammo during this gun show. His personal armory is once again well stocked and he's looking forward to his next shooting range outing.

In any case, if you have any interest in firearms, I'm sure Joel would be more than happy to share what he's learned over the years if you poke him enough in the forums.

Enjoy the strip.
