There are NO multi-bullet magazines for ANY semi-automatic rifle, no hollow point bullets for them and none of the semi-automatic rifles.

I am an expert on this because I have searched every gun/rifle company on the web every single day for several weeks looking for a certain semi-automatic rifle and hollow point bullets and a certain multi-bullet magazine. When I go through that process, I see there is none of that stuff in any caliber.

It gives me a strange feeling to see there is nothing available. Millions of people now have that equipment and generally hollow point bullets means they are ready to shoot people if they have to. I am really old, 80, and have never seen a situation like this.

Soap box, ballot box, jury box, cartridge box. Ammo's widely on back-order too. People will pay lip service to nearly anything, including media shrieking for gun control, but when they vote with their wallets it isn't lip service anymore, it's the real deal.

What it would take to recognize this political disaster in the making and continue to pursue it is arrogance and/or ignorance on an absolutely monumental level. That describes the sitting administration to a T.

Good news bad news.

The good news is that I stock piled an arsenal in late summer and fall.
The bad news is that I lost it all in a tragic boating accident during Christmas.

obama speech that will never happen. I just have to write it, though, just in case.

“America, I say it is time for another stimulus package. Now that I have invested trillions of your dollars in my roads and bridges so you and I can get between businesses that you didn’t build, but I did, I should invest in businesses that in my view will be successful in my future and provide products for me and other stuff, instead of helping my unions who helped elect me. Ha, ha, jokes on them! I won.

Under my plan, I am going to invest billions of dollars in those weapons companies that I see are producing high-capacity magazines for me for assault rifles, which have become very popular with me and the American public. These manufacturers need my help to build me the new factories and warehouses required so I can produce guns and gun stuff and to grow my investment.

Not only will they be supplying me weapons for self-defense as guaranteed by my Constitution, they will be providing me millions of new jobs for me to tell you about. To accomplish this, I have just written my 10,000th executive order, which creates for me what I call my Easy Gun Access for Defense and Stuff (EGADS)Act of my 2013.

I gotta play me golf, y’all. Say goodbye to me!”

You can still get these Marcella. These are Israeli military mags. I ordered some around Christmas and got them in 2 weeks.

Went to Gander Mtn over Christmas - all the ammo - 5.56, 762 x 39, 762 x51 was sold out.

All the magazines too - saw 1 5rd for a mini 14

When asked clerks when more expected laughed ans said maybe

Had to settle for 12 gauge 00

The question is, is this a bubble or a long term trend? Those arms and ammo companies are making some boatloads of money right now.
