With the threat of increased gun control laws, there's been a run on guns and ammunition across the country, making it more difficult for gun owners to get their hands on some new brass. But don't think they're the only ones being affected by such changes. As it turns out, local police departments are also struggling to scrounge up ammunition for their on-duty officers.
Last month, we reported that a growing number of gun manufacturers were refusing to sell weapons and ammunition to states and municipalities enacting strict gun control laws. Police in Oklahoma have reported a widespread ammo shortage. Might this market pressure have anything to do with the current shortage in Phoenix, Arizona?
