Ammo panic in the U.S.
I have a buddy who today, did something that I am still busting a gut over, even though I figure he is probably right for what is in store for the U.S. with the next Presidency. He called me to meet with him to show me something. I about fell out when I looked in the back seat of his pickup.
He had just left Wal-Mart and had COMPLETELY bought them out of .22 cal LR ammunition. The backseat of his truck was stacked about 8 rows deep with 86 bricks of Remingtons and 74 bricks of Winchester ammo. Showed me the receipt and it was for $2389.23 bucks. I put a calculator to that and came up with roughly 82,700 rounds of .22 ammo.
He says I won’t be laughing when I can’t afford to buy any in the next year or so due to all the taxes that will placed on ammo, but he will have plenty to sell for a marked profit to his investment….. 😆 😆 😆

22 LR?
If you watched the way Dodd, Frank, et al treated the Big Three at the hearings for a godforsaken LOAN to save a few MILLION jobs, you can get a good idea where we’re headed.
The AWB will be re-enacted and made permanent very quickly, IMO.
This “rush to buy” is probably the swan-song for American gun manufacturers. There are some Soccer-Mom/Nanny-State gun laws coming that’ll put any company that doesn’t have a military contract out of business.
Of course, we’ve said the same thing before so many times, but this time I think it’s going to be harsh.
I have routinely bought bullets, powder and primers in bulk (10-30K ea) when I found a good deal.
There are no good deals right now, and people buying in bulk now expect new legislation to be enacted before demand catches up with supply.
I did buy some pre-election rifles, receivers and parts; glad I beat the rush on those items.
And Machinist great pair of legs!!!!!!
well the dam thing never shuts off I think I’ll take a tablet now.
