“Gee and the MSM said that we were just being paranoid to run out and buy guns and ammo...”
The SRM (State Run Media) is a tool of these morons and is only going to express opinions in their favor. I got to the Lafayette Gun Show yesterday morning right at 9am when it opened. The parking lot was jammed packed ful and the waiting line was almost a 1/2 mile long to get in the place. It wasn’t guns that were the hot seller, it was ammo....by the frickin’ truckloads!!! Even reloading supplies were being bought up at frenzied pace. It would be interesting to know how much money changed hands just in the first hour. It was utterly incredible to watch.... Prices were high too...well, higher than in the past.
Agreed, but I'd like to know how much of that cash was used to stimulate the (non gun) economy in the purchase of say ... plasma televisions and how much was poured right back into more ammo or reloading supplies. Then I'd like to know ultimately was the money used to better the retailer or reseller's life or to better fortify his home?
Finding some ammo has become virtually impossible. I have been to two gun shows in the past month, looking for 7.62x39 ammo for my SKS, but it is almost impossible to find, and what you do find has gone up by over 200% in the last six months.
