Texas Ammo Shortage

Whether fueled by speculation of gun control or because of supply hoarders, some Killeen-area retailers are seeing an ammunition shortage.

“It’s been busy for quite some time, but in the last month, I’ve noticed that when I call the distributors, there’s really nothing available,” Guns Galore Manager David Cheadle said.

The director of the National Rifle Association’s Texas affiliate said many gun owners perceive President Barack Obama’s administration as a threat to gun ownership.

“A lot of (the shortage) is driven by fears of Second Amendment rights being taken away or eroding,” said Steve Hall, the association’s executive director. Obama has remained mum on the subject but “he has definite known members in his Cabinet that are gun control supporters.”-[source]
