Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Panic Buying

Panic buying isn't a problem for a poor bastard like me. I spent ALL my money on land and it has been tight.

I found 4K federal 215 primers yesterday. I bought them all. Of course I would have bought them all if a republican was president.

or you can still buy sex

I panic bought 250 Nosler 6.5 ballistic yesterday. Lot of wild pigs at deer lease to kill. Saw a solid white boar pig around 180 lbs. couldnt get a shot at him. First white one I have seen. We have a few white turkeys too. Anyone ever seen a white wild turkey?

I have seen people buy AR-15s and never shoot them just because they're afraid AR-15s will become illegal. The recent dictat from Konnecticut grandfathers in AR-15s if you already own them, as I understand it.

I have been tempted to buy an AR-15 for just this reason. But when I think about it rationally, I think that a reasonably good shot (me) armed with a good hunting rifle would easily defeat the typical thug if the thug had an AR-15. Especially since I would be shooting a far deadlier bullet than a .223.

I suspect that most of these morons or jihadists shoot 55 grain FMJ bullets. Such are illegal for deer hunting in most states because they are too underpowered.

I am a trap and skeet shooter who reloads. Yesterday at the LGS I bought 50 pounds of shot, all the W209 primers I wanted, and an 8-pound bottle of my favorite powder. I could have bought wads, loaded ammo, or anything else if I'd needed it. There also seemed to be a lot of pistol and rifle ammo. They did have a sign, though, that powder sales were limited to 8 pounds per day per person.

So is the shortage over?

I have had good luck buying everything but federal 210 and 215 primers.

Hasn't been .22 shells up here for years.

I guess they make it as far north as Billings.

Hanco: Of recent (since barrack hussein obama and the hildabeast have come to power!) I have been buying more and more firearms that are barrack hussein obama and the hildabeast "proof"!
Over the many past decades that I have been "into" guns I never gave a thought to my personal guns having a "paper trail".
Of recent though, I do!
Call that panic (or paranoid?) but I indulge in it at every opportunity.
I simply do not trust the hildabeast or barrack hussein obama any farther than I could throw them.

Probably not a bad time to be a 30-06 guy...

I dunno. Sold a gun last week to a gunshop. Owner said it for him, not for sale. He's got enough already?

The last I heard from Clinton regarding the matter, she was speaking of "modifying" the Second Amendment.

If she wins, with the impetus for more gun control among the liberal mega regions including the clueless all among the land who decide things on emotion, I think we will see more ominous attempts at severe restrictions.

Whether or not her winning (please no) will spawn another panic buying spree at don't know.

If Clinton is elected, she will ban high capacity magazines for sure.

Might be interesting to see how many AR's and high capacity magazines will become "lost overboard"...

I cast near 1,000 bullets last weekend.

Any y'all in a panic to buy?

Tuff, they ain't fer sale.

Our arms locker is pretty full at present. I suspect if we need more than what we have there will be plenty laying around..........

I too am afraid we'll have another tough 4 years.

Lads, don't worry about this crap. Market demands, politics, BS etc. You got the will, you'll find a way. It's what we do here in the USA, most of us anyway.

We're shooters. Go shoot something. You can use a cap or a rock for ignition, make your own powder, reload .22 RF and all sorts of hooey. Knuckle down and do it...........

I'm much better prepared than I was last time. Might not be able to try Blastmaster 22 in my .292 Wankercranker, but I'll be able to shoot everything I've got, even my Hornet, as much as I want, even for two terms of the fat bitch, if it comes to that. Most of my stuff has been acquired through normal purchasing for load development and preparing for hunting, only a little for "just in case". I even have enough .22s, as well as a powerful springer airgun.

It's doubtful that even under Clinton they'll be coming for our loading supplies, but "common sense" restrictions on mail order purchases are possible if we lose both houses of Congress. People living on the West Coast are already feeling the pinch thanks to the governors and legislatures elected by the double-no-fun latte crowd that dominates their politics.

Anyone that doesn't reload and hasn't put a little something away for a rainy day is bound to regret it, if not now, then later.

Four will easily become eight and the damage done to the Constitution will take decades if ever to be reversed.
I say she represents the end of the line.
