View From Cabaela's & Bass Pro Shop--WOW Getting Real Folks!!!
Today this gun thing got real for me.

I was in PA today and went to BPS and Cabela. I was stunned.

At BPS they were almost totally sold out of ALL handguns. CASES and CASES were totally empty. GONE. They were totally out of 9mm, 357 ammo and just about everything else. I took pictures but since there's people in them I'm not going to post them. Staff says they can't get anything else at this point, their suppliers are out. There was a sizable crowd scanning the empty cases and shelves. Salespeople I talked to said they are convinced that if anyone tries to take weapons from Americans there's going to be a civil war. They said they're seeing people who used to be anti-gun want to get one because they're afraid of what they think is happening.

Later, I stopped at Cabelas. This place is right off the highway and very visible from a distance. The crowd there was even bigger. They still had a few --very few--handguns but nothing left that was a carry piece, imo. I'm sure they were depleted of the little they had by the end of the day. As for ammo, they were limiting to 10 box max. There was almost nothing left.

i'm finding it hard to convey how real all seems to be becoming.

Thanks, agree. That's the agenda and when the dollar crashes or we have the next huge disaster.....chaos will ensue...

A little beyond my capability, sorry. If you don't believe me, head to your nearest gun shop and see what's happening for yourself. I do wish I knew how to though because the pictures really are amazing.

I spent about 6 hrs online trying to find .22lr and .223 yesterday, very little ammo anywhere.

I was allowed to buy a little at WalMart this morning

I have a friend that is a police officer in two townships, very much second amendment and he was telling me that the department's supplier is nearly out. All they had left were a few thousand 45 rounds AND a few hundred 9mils. And these are the people that supply police. Crazy!

Now is when the word prepper stars making a lot of sense.
Banned as usual.

“It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.”

It's creepy.

TPTB I think almost WANT the American public to rise up and start a new Civil War, so then they can have UN troops come in and try to fight the American people.

Nefarious as it may seem, it may be even being attempted so that a country like China or Russia could invade us after we've been entrenched in civil war for many months/years.

Shit is getting real, real quick.

In anti-gun IL.
A friend visiting a 'small' gun shop saw a gun sale every 5 minutes, as fast as the owner could complete the yellow form. Alternating between AR's at twice the price and +100 year old $150 Mosin's. This was in the middle of the day - on a week day.

One store Saturday was looking very bear, the store was basically empty but the firearms counter was packed. Good 45 minutes just to get a clerk. Another store was packed but they had about 10 working the counter. No Ar's in site, they were either sold out or complying with the Mayors request to remove them. Watch the ammo, huge spike in prices.

I can vouch for this. I was in cabelas in another state today also and the gun dept was PACKED. They had something i'd never seen before: folding chairs and a makeshift waiting area to help people with guns. people had laptops, etc. to wait with them. it was like the DMV

The heavy shot shotgun ammo was sold out at three stores I visit. Its been flying off the shelves and these aren't gun stores. 22 ammo almost gone.
