I remember the bad old days and can see that happening again. Think of it as an investment as a hedge against inflation. I bought 12 Mak 90s and 100 chinese 30 rd mags and 3 cases of Wolf AK fodder for a little less than$3000.00 During the height of the panic I sold them as packages, 1 Mak, 6 mags and 200 rounds of ammo for $2500.00 each. I purchased the guns and mags around 1995 and had rented them many times for classes. I also claimed their initial purchase cost as an expense on my taxes. Best ROI I ever made.
Scalper or capitalist? In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
My stack of G17 and AR mags and ammo is axle deep to a ferris wheel. The robot vacuum cleaner can't get under any of the beds because that space is occupied by bricks of mini mags.

It's never time not to. The mad rush is the best time to back off from hoarding...  Let the idiots fight it out and pay through the nose..  This.

Don't hoard 223 or 9mm. Just hoard generally.

Us old folks have reached the point where we just sit around watching Pawn Stars. But them young folks ain't playin'. You heard of Owen Benjamin? Do a youtube search of his name to see what the young people are saying these days. It's getting to be a different world in America.

On another forum that I'm a member of, people are always saying "I buy guns in weird calibers because you can always find those calibers when times get tight". I always reply "If you spent all that money that you spent on oddball caliber guns and ammo, and spent it on 22LR, 9mm, 45, 223, 308 and other staples, you'd have enough stock on hand to tide you over the tough times. They still don't get it. It normally revolves around them buying 40, even though they mainly have 9mm. For the price of even a Glock 22, you can buy an awful lot of 9mm FMJ. Whoa whoa whoa whoa!! there are other forums? Do tell..............

The AR market is pretty well saturated. There were so many "scares" during the Obama administration that even the San Bernardino and Parkland shootings didn't cause much of blip in the market. The best thing to keep in mind, if anything happens, is that no matter what somebody proposes, if you didn't need it last week, then you probably don't need it this week. Don't get talked into overspending on something "just because". If you have 10-20 Magpul mags now, you don't need to buy 30 more overpriced ones just because something might happen. 10-20? Lol.

They just don't figure the hill will kill them if the circumstances are right... They keep trying for the goose that lays the golden egg.

So, NZ is probably going to ban semiauto firearms very quickly which will stir up the gun control fanatics in this country even more so than normal, with many states already considering such actions, along with background checks for ammo, 20 rounds of ammo per month etc etc. I think in the coming month or two we are going to see some VERY draconian measures proposed and many of them will get passed.
With that, is it time for another panicky run on AR's, .22 ammo, primers and powder and so forth, like we have seen in the not too distant pass, will fear motivate another desperate session of hoarding?
What do you think? It's never a bad time to start hoaring if you haven't already. Lilly Mae down to the 100% USA massage parlor gots two kids to put through the junior college.
