Lets truly think about that shall we?

Every person in this country has had years to stockpile food. AT ever $2 a week, you can stockpile a lot of food in a year.

So lets say you stockpile food,guns, and ammo spending extra money. you do without going to movies and driving nicer cars. you wear your clothes a little longer than your neighbors. you sacrifice, so that you can build a security net for your family.

the guy down the street from you, buys a new car every two years, buys every new thing, has multiple credit cards, and has been going out to the bar/movies every night, blowing all his money, without a care in the world, while you sat home saving money.

Now, things collapse, there is no food at the store, and no one knows when there will be food at the store. you have enough food for 1 year for your family, but you do not know if it will be enough, as you do not know how long bad times will last. Are you going to want to give your food stores to the guy that failed to prepare?

If you save up and pay cash for things and avoid credit, and this causes you to have en extra car, and your idiot neighbor drives with no insurance and wastes all his money, are you going to give him your extra car, because you have it and he doesn't??

Or are you going to recognize that in this circumstance, everyone started out equal, and the reason some have food, or ammo, or a car, is because those people sacrificed and prepared, and the reason other people do not, is because they lived frivolously and wasted their time and money.

The people standing in the food line with no food are standing in that line because they made poor decisions which forced them into that line.

Yes it's the same ol " I'll be sitting back laughing" , till the tptb kicks in your friggin door and confiscates all your stores because that preppy come to lately turned your ass in for a slice of bread.
One thing my haughty friend, you can never be too prepared and the way in which we treat each other has consequences.
Enjoy your laughter for now, it won't last long. United we stand, divided we fall , well you just proved my point. Read a friggin history book about the shtf of yesteryear, you'll not last as long as you think my friend.

So has anyone else noticed, that private gun sellers are trying to butt rape their fellow gun buyers by asking 3-5 times the actual value of any gun that maybe even considered tactical .
For instance, on a very popular gun trading site AR-15s that were selling at $600 last week now are being privately offered at $2,000 to start. Cheap Ak-47s that go for $350-$400 are selling at above the $950 range .
And one stooge even has posted a box of 250 pmags that normally sell for around $12-15 a piece for $1,000,000 for the case and says he won't split the case up lmao- seriously people we are screwing ourselves more than this administration could ever do.
Hint people, don't pay the inflated prices and let these a--holes choke on their weapons and mags. Ar's are nice, but not that friggin nice.

Society didnt screw you, You screwed you.

actually society screwed me. The only gun shop near me takes cash only, so I was waiting to get my bonus check so I could buy an AR. They cost $750. My bonus was $1000 - just enough. They had several AR's to choose from and also some AK's priced at $450 or so.

I went there thursday to put $100 down on one so they could hold it for me and they were all gone. I asked when they'd get more and they had no idea.. They told me the price for the AR was now $1750 and the AK's were $1000..

now I can't afford either, so you see, society screwed me.

how I could have possibly screwed myself is beyond my comprehension?

That's less than a dollar a round. How much is the life saving round worth? Just saying, I'm frustrated too, but I try to look at it in a positive light.

.223 ammo is or can be real cheap if you know where to look.

I have been collecting empty brass since I was a kid, and I have a fair amount of it piled up.

At many shooting ranges or places where people shoot you can just scoop the stuff off the ground.

Also the steel-case ammo is fine. I have shot thousands and thousands of rounds of wolf through my mini and haven't noticed any unusual wear on the extractor or anything else. Very very few jams or FTE either. I have seen AR's choke on that stuff after just a few mags worth.

Here's the real shit storm of it. The dumb asses have emptied the shelves at a time when the manufacturers are slowing production, waiting to see what the new rules will be. No AR maker is going to keep production at full speed ahead if the guns they make may not be sellable due to new laws. What would they do with 2000 partially manufactured AR's? So they have actually slowed manufacturing so they don't lose their asses if these guns are outlawed again.

what this means is that there is no inventory to re-supply those empty shelves! In other words' now the gun stores are cleaned out and can't get new inventory to re-fill their shelves. Right now they're looking at a wad of cash and no inventory and are being told 30-90 days to get new guns.. Guess how many gun shops will go out of business over the next 30-90 days?

Ruger had already stopped taking new orders because they couldn't keep up with demand, now it will take years for them to catch up. But with the prospect of losing millions in partially assembled and now illegal AR's they are in no hurry to boost production.

the gunnies screwed themselves by 1) buying all inventory in the US and hoarding it, and 2) making themselves look like the lunatics the left claims they are.

my opinion may be biased because I was told in november that I would be receiving a year end bonus and my plan was to buy my first AR with the money.. Now I can't because they're too expensive and there are now no magazines or bullets either. So society screwed me.

0.60 cents per round for hallow-points? Well, about a year ago for my regular .223 fmjs i was paying around 0.40 cents per round... So, 0.60 per round for hallow points sounds about right. Even given the current events. Granted, bullets used to be WAYYYY cheaper

The reason you are seeing the AR's choke on that stuff is because they choke when they get dirty. And boy oh boy, do they get dirty, and you know the AR15 hates dirt while you ingest more dirt into the inner works everytime you pull the trigger....

My advice?? Cash out on the inferior design if you have one during the hype and get yourself an M1A or even an HK.....your investment will have payed off with enough money left over to customize a .308 caliber weapon, which you should have in the first place..
