Default Here we go again

With the temperature of the gun control debate reaching the boiling point there are reports today that AR's are flying off the shelves. I suspect 22 rimfire and many centerfire cartridges will as well, reloading powder too. I hate to join the hoarders but buying what you will eventually use seems prudent to me given the situation.

A word to the wise is sufficient.

Personally, I stocked up BIG TIME during the last panic. And the panic before that. And the one before that.

I should be good until after November...

Well I have 4lbs of tite group at 5 grains a load that should last a while for my 45acp and 16 lbs of 700x for my shotgun. I would think that was enough. What do y'all think

I think the assault rifle business can be solved by owning a couple of nice semiautomatic rifles, in two different calibers, and maybe 1000 rounds for each, assuming you don't practice with them.

The wife told me to buy another AR. So, being the good husband I am, off to the gun store. A new gun, ammo, clips, and a red dot sight - I was all set. I already have about 30#'s of powder, 10K/primers, 8K/wads, and 10 bags of shot. There's also plenty of 45, 380, 9mm, and 22 ammo. Then I trucked over to Bachelders with my 89 C grade Remington - it wouldn't close tight. I got the usual reply - " 40 years in the gun business and I've never seen this before ". The locking lug had a crack and was ready to break off. He said two weeks and a $175 it would be fixed. This is the same gun bought from out west that had some sort of small termite eat little lines in the wood from under the top lever to the trigger guard. After a shot I was hold the stock in my right hand and the rest of the gun in my left hand. He put it back together and you can't see where it was broken. Oh well, after relaying the ribs, redoing the barrels, and color case hardening everything, I've only got about 5K in the gun. Now this. Anyway, I'm pretty well set for guns and ammo.

Hate to admit it but I stopped by WallyWorld and bought the last 500 .223 on the shelf since there is no gun show soon. Anyway, the Big Box stores like Gander are asking $500 for a thousand rounds and WallyWorld was ten cent cheaper at $0.40 per round. Get it while you can, as the title says, "here we go again."

The Democrat Party is the Gun and Ammunition makers best business partner. I should have bought stock in Smith and Wesson, Ruger, Hornady and UMC years ago.

None of those companies are making the ammunition we are buying.

Who cares Bill? They are making the guns and ammunition other people are buying and making a pile of dough doing it.
