So true. If you are not stockpiled by now you just don’t pay attention.

I reload my Creedmoor ammo. Have about a hundred loads and plan on more this week. Not just for deer season but for practice and God forbid the crazies if they should scatter to the sticks.
Hoping my harvester 300 gets approved in quick order but they just cashed my tax stamp fee. Going to be a while.

“These ain’t battle hardened soldiers we’re talking about here.”

By the time they get to Knarfs house in SW PA they will have already probably killed hundreds if not thousands of people and will be the toughest and ruthless of the city folks who survived many MS-13 or gang members.

Don’t ever discount these folks just like Antifa. They are dangerous

Are there any other 72 yo guys in your church? This is a time for making friends. Mean ones.

I traded 50 rounds of 9mm for 50 rounds of 5.56 with a guy at work yesterday. 5.56 and 9mm are damn near impossible to get right now.

In a real SHTF scenario ammo will be used as money. You can get what you need of you have something that everyone else wants.

These azzholes on the left are openly stating that there WILL be a civil war especially if Trump wins and even if the DNC wins.

I recently went on a local expedition to find pistol ammo for myself and several family members.

I was shocked. Utterly dumbfounded.

My list was self defense rounds in .40, .38, .357 and .380.

First I got online to research everyone in the area that advertised ammo sales in the Yellow Pages. Then I set and route, list in hand.

Eight stores and most of the day to discover nobody has nuthin’.

nuthin’

The ammo is needed for target practice, because when the war goes hot, if you’re surviving, you just take the weapons and ammo off the dead bodies.

What’s this ammo shortage thing they speak of?

>With every sale of a box of ammo a Marxist insurrectionist gets its wings.

If it takes more than 1 round to take care of a commie, you need more practice. And they won’t be getting wings where they are going

Millions of gun owners all acting on their own, waiting to get shot one at a time. You might want to start befriending your neighbors.

The point of stockpiling is NOT because a person believes they can single handedly hold off 1000 attackers.

The point is to be able to stay practiced and proficient in the period between a manufacturing shut down (or sale prohibition) and the attempts to confiscate your weapons. (or fend off an attack).

Gun store shelves in Arizona, ...now host but a smattering of ammunition

Then how the f*ck is Kelly leading McSally by +10 and Biden leading Trump +5.1?

When a few melons get popped and the word gets around, it'll be like woodchucks racing back to their holes. That'll fizzle out real quick.

I’ve noticed. Places like Academy Sports were cleaned out. At the gun show I went to recently, amp was available but not at prices I was remotely willing to pay. Thank goodness I still have over 10,000 rounds of various calibers. It may be a while before ammo prices get back to normal.

That is how they can make their cheating look plausible. If they showed Trump up by 25, then Biden wins by 2, people would be suspicious

...AND to have enough to supply to your like minded neighbors when banding together...my anti- gun 78 year old neighbor now fully understands the need for a firearm after a “ frightening” incident occurred. He now sees clearly, is armed , confident and most of all not fearful....simply amazing what peace of mind a .38 wheel gun can instill....mankind’s two greatest “ equalizers” have been money ( it preserves your labor) and firearms.

Your DD 214 is a Letter of Marque, works for me.
