They are seriouly organizing for a s african style take over. They have the backing of every government agency and politician in the country.
Your kids and grandkids will lose, possibly their lives. Meanwhile trump is bailing them out by sending in federales to cover up the truth of their agenda.

Had on-line order in March for 9mm at 18c/rd.

Shipment delayed til May, then July, then cancelled.

New order, different 9mm ammo, now 28c/rd.

Well this covid virus is in part to blame....when you stop production and business as long as this has been going on everything gets backlogged. Add on the demand that’s out there now it’s going to happen for sure.

Looks good not bad price. When you get it please go somewhere and practice/use it. Get familiar with loading unloading and safety features. As part of that process run different shotshells thru it, slugs, different buckshot sizes, all the way to maybe BB shot. See how the gun handles the different loads, patterns at what ranges. All guns are different, but as part of the familiarizing process you can get some idea of the best ammo for your personal situation.

“You can’t buy a weapon if you’re a convict and so these must be law-abiding folk.”

It’s the convicts’ girlfriends who buy the guns; hence, the high numbers for women purchasers.

Cannot find any 12 GA 00 Buck - same for #4 Shot. Rural King had a few boxes of 7 1/2 left on the shelf.

Ammo - .357 was wiped out.

In all honesty, hear me out. I am seeing a large number of Black Women in their 40’s and 50’s buying their first handgun AND taking the free instruction classes afterword. I do not believe these are straw purchasers. I believe they are scared of a world without police.

Yesterday was the first day in 6 weeks we did not have a continuous line for the entire day.
We still had a line for parts of the day but there were breaks in it for a change.

“We shouldn’t judge minorities by what we see on the news. That’s not the majority of them. Most minorities are decent hard-working people who just want to raise a family and be left alone. There’s money to be made by showing the fringe element, so that’s what you are being shown. The people buying guns are buying them to deal with the rising crime and anti-police sentiment. People are realizing that if they call 911 there just might not be anyone to answer in the future.”


This.

Reasonably effective policing is why we have civilization here. This is not a homogenous society, and while most people are pretty decent and just wish to be left alone to live their lives, there’s a certain element of every group that wants to live off of everyone else. With police, those people still do damage, but not enough to end civilization. Without them...well, let’s just say that those who have lived in the fringe areas know what will happen, and that’s why they’re spending money that they probably don’t have much of on firearms. They are afraid, and that’s of concern to me.

[Time to buy ammo was last year]

Unfortunately, that’s correct.

I should have bought my extra 5.56 last year but couldn’t. Had a chance, earlier this spring. Right now, none at the places I’m looking at except way-overpriced 20 round boxes.

When people realize that it is government that is also criminal, we can expect such a result.

I’ve checked the websites of 6 online gun sellers in the past two days. They are completely sold out of ALL Glock handguns in ALL calibers.

Just recently went through the concealed handgun class here in NC. 3 of the eleven people in the class were black. One was a teacher in Charlotte. The others were a mid age couple late 30s early 40s.

"..New order, different 9mm ammo, now 28c/rd.."

"Assembled" a pile from stock... for a LOT cheaper..

Learn to reload... It ain't rocket science..
And as an added benefit, it makes your "stash" useless to the ferals. d:^)

I imagine at this point the Gun and ammo prices should be tied to an american election index. When you buy, in between elections while you can. Then shelve the ammo for when it can’t be bought because US Politics is volatile and the moment people think Democrats are about to win the prices go up.

EXACTLY.

Street criminals either STEAL, BUY ILLEGALLY and/or sometimes RENT the weapons that they use for committing crimes.

I’m hoping, that it will be like toilet paper at Wal-Mart. Where the shelves were barren for months, literally, now there’s a pretty good supply of TP.

Who knows?

Guess we’re gonna find out. I’d like to purchase that and it will be far more than I ever need but just to get it done.

Maybe by early September? I’m checking most days but usually cannot purchase right now.
