Nasty: That may or may not be their fault. The check out girl also does ordering. We got to talking about how crazy it had got and she mentioned how their ammo supplier had told her of one of their customers calling up and ordering almost $5m worth of .223/5.56.

At her store the day of the shooting one guy came in and bought 150 Pmags, another bought 12,000 rnds of AR food. My guess is these guys were looking to do some flipping to make a buck. She was complaining how some of their suppliers had gotten crazy on their pricing. She didn't mention names and I didn't ask, but since their ARs and ammo seem to have stayed relatively reasonable and Pmags have jumped to $40 a pop, I'm going to guess whoever supplies those is one of them.
