Obama To "Manage" The Firearms And Ammunition Business Next?

We keep waiting everyday to see stories that the Obama induced run on buying guns, magazines, and ammunition has stopped, or even slowed down. It hasn't. It doesn't even seem to be on the foreseeable horizon. When is that article coming? Apparently no time soon. I find 3 or 4 stories every day lamenting the lack of merchandise and continuing runs on it.

If you visit your local shooting range you will even probably see that there are a lot fewer target shooters. They are holding on to what they have. Its getting to expensive to shoot like we used to do.

One ammunition supplier representative that we spoke to told us that his company's production line is running 24/7. He said they might catch up in 8 or 9 months. But on the upside, they have been hiring. Give Obama credit for job creation. Its still a good time to buy stock in Olin.

Ammo can be found if you look hard enough. Dunhams, a 12 store sporting goods chain stretching from South Dakota to Pennsylvania, has ammunition. And, you will pay dearly for it. Surplus Ammunition prices are up 500% and more, and a common AK47 clone will now run $600.00 to $700.00.

Let's hope Obama doesn't "reluctantly" decide to manage the gun and ammunition business. He's "reluctantly" running Car manufacturers and banks, but take heart. He said this week that, "You know, I don't want to run auto companies. I don't want to run banks."

But, with Obama pushing ratification of the treaty, "Inter American Convention Against The Illicit Manufacturing...

LOL.. Visualize me banging my head against the wall right now, wondering why I didn’t think of that! If she gets out of the house again today, I’ll ask her to get a couple more boxes (assuming any will be left).

Pellets are one thing, but I’m looking for “look-feel-sound”, so if say, you are firing a .38, it simulates that in every way except a bullet coming out and a casing ejection in an automatic.

Recoil is very difficult to simulate. At best you can make the action cycle with air. I've "shot" an M240 machine gun set up to do that, wearing computer display goggles as part of an immersive simulation.

The goggles/glasses have improved since then, but they made it impossible to correctly use the sights. Fortunately you could use the simulate tracers and bullet strikes to adjust fire.

There isn’t going to be any .380 for a long time.

I’m sure that’s two boxes per transaction, or at worst two boxes per day, so go back and see if you can get some more. Plus, don’t forget to have your wife buy two boxes every time you do.
