I guarantee you every place that sells this stuff is wishing they had bought one million plus of everything. If walmart had any brains they would have the back of every store filled to the ceiling with ammo. |

| Resister In God we trust User ID: 1461638 12/18/2012 09:54 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to my local gun shop today just for 1 box of ammo to sight in my new scope this weekend. Just one box. I was stunned at how full the parking lot and the store were. Never seen it so busy. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 [link to line-in-the-sand.blogspot.com] |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1308067 12/19/2012 12:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Okay, so, on my way home I decided to stop by a chain sporting goods / gun store. Not Dicks, not Wal-Mart. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8397139 All the "military looking" rifles had been taken off the racks. Wall to wall people, standing in line to even look at the ammunition. People were finding the caliber(s) they were looking for and just scooping boxes of it off the shelves. Workers brought out a pallet of shotgun ammo and were trying to get in and restock. All kinds of talk about "buy it while you can" etc. One guy told me he'd come from Wal-Mart and they were sold out of most nearly everything. Got to the checkout and saw multiple people in lines with several boxes of ammo in hand. It was nuts! As much as they may want to....they cannot revoke The Second Amendment. This will blow over in time. Man I hope you're right... Still, I see some sort of nasty anti-gun legislation coming down the road - soon. It's amazing what bills you can get passed when you name them something that the sheeple thinks sounds benign. We need to turn the tables, beat them to the punch and introduce a bill called "The Child Protection Act" with sneaky little clauses and technicalities in it that solidify more pro 2nd rights .. When/if the dems figure it out and refuse to pass it, we can call them out on not 'protecting the children' - use one of their tricks on them and appeal to ignorant peoples emotions saying the politician that voted against it is for not protecting the children. - I'm calling for our side to use dirty politics like the progressives have done for so long. All the while hijacking their upcoming purposed gun control legislation with poison pills forcing the eventual compromise being rewording of their text to something that would make our schools safer like armed security in some form or another with no further erosion to the 2nd Amendment. |
