Everytime 'Bama even thinks in his sleep about gun control the guys to the south of us go on a buying frenzy. Buy primers while you can as well.

there will be a shortage of all common ammunition this coming year. every dealer i talk to is have difficulty getting supplies. both of the firearms and ammo. anything U.S. based is affected the most due to the supposed new gun regs down south. causing a lot of hording. Plus the cost of ammunition has gone up approx 15% i have been told. Buy now or pay more later. thats alot of peoples thoughts, myself included

yes that i can understand, peoples fears, hoarding ammo, and buying as many guns as you can. guess people are fearing a zombie attack.

not really that interested, in more gun lobby lingo. looks like fear mongers have done there thing. not sure why a guy needs 10,000 rounds for self defense.


i'm thinkin no one should be able to purchase any more than 2 rounds at any time(for self defense) and to get the next two rounds you need to bring in the old shells jkd don you can calm down.


people are like a herd of cows, can't really think for themselves just follow the leader, gun and weapon manufactures are having a big payday, the guys buying all this ammo are keeping the economy rolling, guess the money peeps in the usa are the real winners.

Because If the time comes that need it there wont be any availble to buy. Any empty gun is as useful as a rock for self defense or for feeding your family.

self defence has so many gray areas.. i have personally never heard a good story about anyone using a gun to protect themselves. resticted or non restricted. the victim becomes the criminal.
