Ammo hoarding

[StanwoodSpartan]

I say we start an arrow scare so everyone goes and picks up every arrow out there and leaves the ammo alone...

[littletoes]

Horder? Sure.....call me what you want, but I USE to shoot competition. If I wasn't to compete anymore, I would have enough ammo and powder for the rest of my life....well, almost.

How much ammo does the average "hunter" social shooter use? Nothing. Competitive shooters can shoot upwards of 30,000 rounds a year. A couple that rank in the worlds top have been quoted as saying that was the amount they fired yearly. Me? A few thousand would get me through.....but the cost is/will kill me.

Oh please no!  After last weekends 3d shoot I am already going broke on new arrows!

I read somewhere that in Montana, demand is outpacing production by about 100,000 rounds a day.

Considering that the population of Montana is around one million, there must be a whole lot of shootin' goin on round them parts.

it is kind of crazy, i really don't see the point in the hording, i was out for a day of shopping a few weeks back, went to sportco and the warehouse and while i was not looking to buy ammo, it was hard not to notice the complete absence of hangun ammo in the stores.

Its like anything else in "tough times".You should have a well stocked pantry,enough food for a couple of months,cash set aside (not in a bank),and lots of ammo to help insure you can keep your supplies. Don't go with the BS around gold.How you gonna carry it? you gonna' convince who how much its worth? If you need heavy metal to survive it best be in the form of lead. Preperation is hoarding,hoarding is preperation. Scenario: Guy comes up to your house, says his family hasn't eaten in four days. Wants to know if you have anything extra. Says he'll pay for it in gold.Whatta Dumazz.

[littletoes]

BS with Gold???

If its too much for you to handle, send it my way, I'll carry it for you!   

The Bible says to buy Gold, thats good enough for me....if you've read it enough-you'd know why.

Now back to hoarding....If anyone here has been paying attention to who the obamination has been nominating to all of the "appointments", ALL of them are liberal anti-gun folks, thats explanation enough.
It seems there may be a time when our 2nd Amendment Rights will be "Change'd".

It seems there may be a time when our 2nd Amendment Rights will be "Change'd".  

I'm sure that we all hope that this will never happen, but there's nothing wrong with being prepared... where's my shovel and waterproof containers!!

I do not have a political affiliation. I vote with common sense based on each issue. I really get tired of the civics lessons that are given by some of the sporting good store employees that have no idea or facts to back what they are saying. They only repeat the *censored* they hear from some chickenlittle mentallity customer running his mouth. Then I watch the customer that hears this crap feel like he needs to buy every bit of ammo in sight. This happened in the early 90's to a lesser extent. I think the prices will go back down eventually.
Right now we are our own worst enemy. The politicians do not need to price us out of ammo..........We are doing a great job of that to ourselves.

Don't get me wrong I have what I would call a healthy fear of our government. But some of the things I hear fueling this issue are pure extremist *censored*.

[littletoes]

"pure extremist *censored*"---HAHAHAHA! You kill me! 

You vote with "common sense", hell haven't you been watching the news? If you have done any form of reading of what our new pres has voted for in his previous 143 days as a senator (yep, thats the ONLY experience he has), or the folks he has nominated for differant offices (such as the new supreme court justice((she wants a "floating" Constitution)), you'd relize that our Constitutional rights are at risk BIG TIME.

Read my sig.....

I didn't say who I voted for. I just said the things I have been hearing are a little off. Hell an employee at Cabelas commented while I was looking for .223 ammo that the new administration had raised the tax on ammo by 200% three weeks ago.  Then a couple guys standing there start getting all worked up about the new tax.

So yes I would have to say some of the fuel is complete *censored*. This is not the only kind of things I hear spread like wild fire.

[littletoes]

Oh I won't argue with that, sure it is. I just think we're seeing the writing on the wall. Even the powder companies are confused a bit by whats happening. They are predicting it to slow down a bit in the next few months. Primers are starting to show up here and there, even small rifle.

Actually, I haven't had any trouble finding anything, and have refused to pay the inflated prices. Guess buying so much so long ago paid off?

I just hope the prices come down.

[demontang]

I have found a guy that just got 400,000 primers in I dont think he had large rifle but small/ small mag and pistol.

If it gets so bad that it is time to bury your guns, then it is most certainly time to dig 'em up. Our 2nd Ammendment rights have already been *censored*ized enough. Does the first Ammendment only get limited to quill pens and hand presses? My political affiliation is to the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The most dangerous enemy is the one within your ranks. +1 Littltoes on your sig. Liberty!
