| TDJ User ID: 26423286 United States12/18/2012 06:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I will never buy anything from WalMart or Dick's again. The Dick's here had the worst employees anywhere. They would act like you were bothering them if you had a question. Fuck those places and any others that pull that shit. I will make my own moral decisions not fucking WalMart. If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.

Better to have it and not need it right? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25020296 Yeah, I guess it could be... Myself I don't really know anyone who's worried about the 21st. I'm certainly not, but it could be that and the fear of coming bans on guns/ammo. |
| Useless Cookie Eater User ID: 29696048 United States12/18/2012 06:53 PM 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. |

Maybe it's like the media yelling bank run, then you have to wait in line to get your money, just in case they run out. Strange times we live in.... |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29215748 United States12/18/2012 07:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | thats why their stories change so much or the direction they take changes... they hear or see this going on they may take stuff down a notch.. it's what makes dealing with Obama so tediuous.. he is a public opinion whore and if he thinks he has momentum he goes on a super power trip |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 8397139 United States12/18/2012 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP, did you get a price check on .223, 7.62x39, .40 cal, .9mm, .410, 12ga, and .22 ammo? Quoting: DooMCooN 1266067 I bought the last box of 9mm ball, it was $13.99 Some 12g 2 3/4 #4 (for Turkey season) @ $12.99 a box. Some .30-06 fmj (for sighting in new scope - deer season) $18 a box. Didn't check any other calibers as it was so crowded I was doing good to get to anything! But in short it looked like the prices hadn't really gone (yet) up so much as they were running out of stuff. |
