I was looking on line for ammunition and handloading components and noticed somthing interesting. The places I usually get ammo or components were short of everything. But especially ammo and componest specific to SD handguns 9MM, 38/357,40 S&W,10MM and 45 ACP brass and bullest even proper size primers are nearly impossible to find. Same goes for loaded ammo, everyone seems to be out of stock. It is the same in rifle ammo and components 5.56/.223 .308,30-06,300 WM right on up to 50 BMG. Loaded ammo, brass, bullets and primers are out of stock. Is it that EVERYONE is buying it up against furure bans, or is everyone just getting ready for somthing else? The only reason I was looking is because my stocks of components are getting low I usually stock up once a year or so.

Thats why I'm stocking up on lead,powder,patch cloth and caps.I have enough sofar for three hundred rounds.I'm buying 100lbs of lead and getting a book on making black powder.Also I just sold my bolt action .308 and got a Ruger 10/22 with a thousand rounds of yellow jackets.I just have to stock up on .35rem for my Marlin levergun. Also I have plenty of arrows for my bow.
Everytime history repeats itself it gets more expensive.

Store huge stocks of canned tuna (protein), canned green beans (vitamin & minerals), canned citrus fruit (anti scurvy). The fluid these foods are canned in will hydrate you.
Stock up on booze and cigarettes for barter.

Stocking up to shoot the bastards that try to take 'em from us, that's what I think is happening. BTW, WHO is going to confiscate our guns? Local cops (MY NEIGHBOR) I doubt it, National Guard (again, my neighbor) not likely, the regular army? I guess maybe the regular army, but there sure are quite a few conservatives and gun nuts in the armed forces.
I'm scared of what BHO and his commie cabinet are up to.

I have enough to reload for normal CAS use for about a year and some casual plinking. Ain't buying any more till 1/2 is gone. I am no longer infused with fear of the government, if "they" come I'll deal with it, until then life as usual. Seen too many of these scares and ain't wasting any money "stocking up".

A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

The only reason I was looking is because my stocks of components are getting low I usually stock up once a year or so. For years I've made a habit of stopping at Walmart whenever I'm near one and pick up a few value packs of range quality.38 Special or .45 ACP. Never once had a problem with this. Passed by one a couple of weeks ago and stopped in to do my usual, and the guy tells me he's out of both calibers. I thought he just meant the value packs, so I asked what he had in those calibers, and he said he was clean out of everything in those two calibers. Weird.

I do the same thing, I just love the look on a clerks face when after he asks you how many boxes you want and you say, "All of them".

Even the bammy voters are stocking up. How stupid is that? I know. My brother in law (along with my sister) both popped the Champaign corks and celebrated when their man won (both life-long leftist and anti-gun Democrats). But the very next day he drives to the local gunshop to buy himself a high cap auto pistol. The sales clerk tells him that #1, the model he wants is not California legal, and #2 only cops can buy high cap mags for it anyway in California. My nephew (a Young Republican) was with him, and related the story to me. My brother in law demanded to know why he couldn't buy that gun and a high cap mag in California. The clerk just shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's the God-damned Democrats." He stormed out fuming.

I keep a "few" rounds around, but I got the feeling if I started snapping caps at the appointed gun gatherers...they'd have my cold dead hands pryed open long before I got off a thousand accurately aimed rounds. I don't think I can keep up much of a seige from my house...and wouldn't want to with the family and all here.

It's even sweeter when there's a riot going on and they find out there's a waiting period.

Perhaps now you understand why I've long maintained that anyone who insists on remaining a free American has far more to fear from the police than from criminals. Flame away.
