Argue as you will, I'm buying everything I can afford while waiting for the other shoe to drop. Obamalamadingdong and his henchmen haven't given up, they just don't have the stomach for the fight this close to mid term elections.
What Happened To?????
- Thread starter Smokester653
- Start date
Whenever That UPS guy pulls in the driveway, my wife says: there you go, helping the economy again.
I see buying extra ammo the same way. No harm in getting an extra box from the local sporting goods store every now and again.
I've voted both parties over the years (try and do my homework to avoid the idiots) and don't give a hoot about any of them on a personal level because they certainly don't know who I am.
That being said, I like to enjoy my life and not get stressed over politics.
If it's a sunny Sunday afternoon and I can take an old friend shootin', my day just got better. I can't blame anyone for buying up extra ammo.
Just remember... As long as "goods" are taxable, the government isn't going to get rid of it(them) any time soon.
Just have fun shootin"!

Very well said. I have nothing against buying extra and never said I did. My beef was with those that went crazy. It's kinda difficult to go shootin' and have fun when there isn't much ammo available. Isn't it good to be able to stroll down to the store to get a few extra boxes? It makes me feel good to go to the range and go through ammo and at least be able to replace it without fighting the paniced masses.

That's not the reality of the situation. Stock your shelves and reload.

Call it paranoia or 20/20 hindsight or whatever, early last year, around the time of The Bamster's coronation, the arms and ammo rush was the ONLY segment of the economy that was showing any growth.
Yes, prices are still high. I look for sales.
Yes, some stuff is still hard to get (.357 mag oddly enough). I reload.
You don't have to have it all right now, but with enough time and patience, you'll get it eventually.

I got mine. Moulds, lead and linotype. Brass, powder and primers. Dillon 550B. I just hope the eyes and trigger finger hold out long enough to use it all.

When O and Hillary were vying for the nomination, and they both promised not to take away our firearms, I actually looked up their voting records as senators, on firearms issues. Both had records that were dismal. I had no reason to believe either one of them, and I still don't.
On the bright side, I now have more ammo and components than I will probably shoot for the rest of my life, and I'm not done stocking up by a long shot!

I stocked up on needful things prior to the election..and smiled while the post-election feeding frenzy upped the price of S&W and Olin stock. Being prepared is never a bad thing...just much easier and less costly to do so before a storm is on the horizon.

I ain't got no ammo.
Lost it all in a boatin' accident.

I'm right here, and I stocked up in 06/07 at prices below what you'll pay now. Shrug. Do what you want. Centerfire ammo has a shelf life of 100 plus years if well stored.
Wise words, this has been my practice for years. Slow and steady accumulation.

After a good long sleep...........I woke up to find I've all most used up all my $28.00/k 38 bullets and I'm now haveing to use 100.00+/k bullets. Decided I need another 10k bullets and instead of 300.00 I now need a grand of cash. Lead bullets don't eat and the Gov don't tax it afer I own it.
I've got to Agree with RedLevel I buy a box of whatever when ever I can.
I'm a Big Fan of the 22 Long. A year ago i realized I was all most out.
Wife asked why are we out? Only answer I had was becaused I never Stocked up since I could get it anytime I wanted it. Those Day's are GONE. I've since got a thousand rounds of 22 longs and feel like I'm Way Under Stocked!
Incase you ask. I've got an 1890 22 Long Winchester that's Long only.

Ammo shortage
As may others have, I've been stocking up, and I'm beginning to see some increases in supplys, at least at Wal-Mart. Also I just finished an NRA article about how NYC Mayor Bloomberg is pushing the government/Obama to do an end-round around legislation and utilize Executive Orders to do what cannot be done via the congress. DO NOT think "they" are above issuing whatever "emergency" mandates are necessary to achieve their ends. i.e. KEEP BUYING!

That is ok by me. Just hate the panic mode and people that buy just to buy (for resale or profitering) and I don't have anything against capitialism (we own a business). When you see boxes of ammo buy a box or two and leave some for the next guy so we are all well stocked up!!!
Don't worry about gun legislation. Obamanation is not going to go that route. Too difficult with groups like the NRA keeping watch. His latest move is to sign international treaties using the UN as the avenue. No need to involve Congress, who is all ready feeling the pinch from voters regarding his other actions.
Don't think for a minute that O and Hilliary aren't coming for your guns. They want you to feel at ease so you won't see it coming.

The President can't commit the US to a treaty without the "advice and consent" of the Senate. It requires a 2/3 vote for passage. If the Senate ever reaches the point where 67 members would ratify such a treaty, we would have much worse problems.
