The man is the CEO of a major ammunition manufacturing company. He has to deal with anti 2A people enough. And from what I see on here, some of you are really stupid and childish.
1. He is a CEO. I am sure he did not get that way straight off the street. I give a rat's butt what he makes. If the company can afford to pay him that, so be it. If any of you on here would take this job and say, nah, I think 50K will be just fine for my salary, you are an idiot.
2. The man deals with hate mail from anti 2A whackos and then has to deal with cry babies from his own ranks telling him to make more ammo and quit hoarding it in secret warehouses? Again, stupid.
3. Then some morons think he wants to throttle back production. So if he does that wouldn't that mean he wouldn't have hired 100s more employees? Wouldn't that mean he would be making less ammo therefore less money? Good grief at the stupidity.
4. Still others think he isn't making enough ammo in the correct fashion. It's CCI for goodness sake. They have been making ammo for how long? If you can run the company better, then fight for his job and show us how it is done. Otherwise, shut up and buy ammo as it comes available.
5. On the flip side, other people think they should tell him to make ammo faster. Not even gonna comment on that stupidity.
6. Then others think he should just build another production facility. Well, those don't get built in 2 days. Land, architecture, supplies, specialized manufacturing equipment, finding more QUALITY employees. And all the should happen in POOF, two minutes. Embarrassing.
If you don't like how he said what he said, toughen up butter cup. He said things like a man would say things. Not a politician and not a "PR specialist". I admire him and this only makes me more loyal to CCI.
We are living in unprecedented times with people making decisions previously unneeded. Here is a list of things on short supply. Please contact the CEOs of these companies also and accuse them of the same stupidity you accuse CCI of doing.
toilet paper paper towels canning lids canning jars seeds slaughter dates at slaughter houses
and perhaps the shortest thing on supply is:
QUALITY EMPLOYEES
So many more things to add. Feel free to add on to this list as mine is very personal to my needs and shortages or lack thereof.
If you did not stock up on things before all this came, that is your fault and no one else's. Learn to stock up one season ahead. When everyone else is buying seeds, buy canning supplies. When everyone else is buying canning supplies, buy seeds. It ain't rocket science. Most people are like a grasshopper. Be like an ant. You will find the shelves fully stocked when you go to purchase items in this order.
I'm surprised that they get as much manufactured as they do. Lawsuits are impacting everyone that makes or sells ammo and guns. Remington made more ammo than this before they were sued out of business for manufacturing a legal product that criminals used illegally. Progressives are sueing anyone they disagree with.

Seen on another board that CCI is 2.5 years behind on their orders. They need to set up more machines and expand, itll just keep getting worse now. Would you expand your ammo business not knowing what Biden is going to do? It cost lots of money to do so.

I don't blame him. How about the "pricks" who think they need 50,000 rounds of 22 ammo. X2

I appreciated his message, maybe it did sound a little abrasive but he wasn't talking about rainbows and unicorns. Sometimes you have to actually say what you mean very plainly for people to understand.
"Unprecedented times" is one of those terms, buzz words, that really doesn't mean much. I think the time between late October 1929 and mid 1945 were pretty "unprecedented", but then again so were the 1960's, 1995 and 2001,

I think some guys on here should go get a loan and start their own massive ammo company and show these companies how to do it right... When pallet shops needed trucking here, we bought trucks. There's something holding those companies back or they'd have competition or have been expanding for the last couple decades instead of declaring bankruptcy.

Poor upset Jason's salary
the President - Ammunition of Vista Outdoor Inc, the total compensation of Jason Vanderbrink at Vista Outdoor Inc is $1,234,350.
That's it? [quote=waggler]I don't blame him. How about the "pricks" who think they need 50,000 rounds of 22 ammo. I agree. I haven't shot my 22 in years, but I have 10,000 rounds. Big deal, that cost me about $400. Next thing you know someone will say owning more than 10 guns is too much or we shouldn't be able to own 10 plus round magazines. This time last year ammo was cheap and plentiful, those who are over 30 and didn't learn from the gulf war years should have acted like the ant. This shortage sucks, I didn't have a need for small rifle primers until this fall and have been looking for a certain lower for 3 months. No ones fault but my own.
