While many consumers are buying additional ammo as a result of real or perceived incentives, there are those that are hoarding in hopes to profit from the shortage they believe is coming down the road. It happened back in the 1993 hyper-market during the run up to Clinton's Ban.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-79600814712418969122009-03-16T10:12:00.000-06:002009-03-16T10:12:00.000-06:00Take the SG cameras to Boomershoot!!!www.boomersho...Take the SG cameras to Boomershoot!!!<BR/>www.boomershoot.org<BR/>Long range shooting at explosive targets!<BR/>And maybe a general (hunting) rifle class at one of the shooting schools.
