What I see is a GREAT opportunity to start up an underground ammo manufacturing plant...rich within days....lol

You know the Baraqqis likely invested heavily in weapons stocks prior to their assault on our freedom.

Seeing lots of rocks from the crows nest. All rocks are not good rocks.

The NRA is not alone in the this struggle; there are several other good organizations out there as well, and I belong to them all. But the NRA is the big gun in this fight, and is getting almost exclusive focus by the dimwits in the media and political arenas. This is good.

But wait... ! This article has the main figure of the NRA saying that is not so. WE THE PEOPLE are making this happen, and that too is a good thing. Actually, it's a GREAT thing, because that's how our Constitutional Republic is supposed to operate.

I see a couple of time-honored principles at work here. First is the 'balance of terror' that the second amendment is supposed to invoke. You don't think Obama and his gang of Marxist mobsters wouldn't just be steamrolling over those who resist already if they didn't have too high a risk of getting bloodied? Second, 'Si vis pacem, para bellum'. I am firmly of the belief that all the kit sold in just the last fews months has been purchased so that it can be handed over on demand. Which actually relates to the first, doesn't it?

I guess that's because ultimately, like it or not, force and the threat of force is what decides these things. Always been that way... always will. Unfortunately.

Learn the very valuable art of reloading. You can get started for about $350.00. This gives one a sense of satisfaction, lower costs, and personal security.

Whoops, too busy. Missed a spot. I meant to say

all the kit sold in just the last fews months has NOT been purchased so that it can be handed over on demand.

[Standing Wolf]

A member of Congress recently implored me to “turn it off.” I told him, “NRA didn’t turn it on. Barack Obama turned it on.” His “revenge” turned it on.

I believe Wayne LaPierre dies a fine job of standing and fighting for the Second Amendment; I believe he does an even better job of representing the NRA membership. As good a speaker as he is, I have a hunch he's a far better listener than the vast majority of our elected misrepresntatives.

Small wonder the leftist extremists hate him so bitterly and blindly.

[Joe Brower]

That was my favorite take-away line as well.

[stuartcr]

Even that stuff is getting scarce. Dies for popular calibers are on back-order at a lot of places. I can’t find powder or primers anywhere, and brass/bullets are even scarce. It’s still worth it, but many newcomers may be disappointed if they can’t start making rounds right away.

[Dracomeister]

Oh, I don’t know, I think it may in fact all be handed over on demand ... ONE ROUND AT A TIME!

[factoryrat]

Not a bad idea if I say so myself.

[blackie]

Be Ever Vigilant!!

[yldstrk]

pardon me, but, “making” what ‘happen” pray tell. From what I can tell, DHS has bought up all the ammo to keep it from legitimate consumers, and you are bragging that NRA is flexing its muscle? Who the hell are you kidding? So what, you have a gun but no ammo? Someone needs to shut DHS down somehow, don’t get complacent, we are in a heap of trouble here, we got no ammo and jokers laugh about underground ammo manufacturing, when they should be serious and get going on setting up same. I am a mom with kids and I am waiting for some men with some balls to do something about this situation, not make sick jokes and throw out their chests puffing about shutting down a gun show.

[Joe Brower]

Complacent? Who are you talking to? If it's me, you're waaaay off base. And just like many others, I know all about the DHS and all the rest. Trouble? Yes. Make ready.

Sick jokes? Where?

If you're trying to get ammo now, I can understand why you're pissed off. Anyone who waited until the crisis hits and then reacts can expect to expend much more time, effort and money for much less return. My sympathies.

Millions of shooters, however, saw this coming from a long way off (like 2008) and took steps. Lots of steps.

[yldstrk]

sorry Joe, I usually vent at the writer of the article, not you, don’t even know who you are

[yldstrk]

post number 2 yucking it up about underground ammo manufacturing, it isn’t funny at all

[Joe Brower]

Well, it's meant as a joke, for certain, but I don't see what's sick about it. The reality is that if a businessperson with enough wherewithal (i.e.: capital) wanted to go into a profitable venture, ammo manufacture would be a good choice, at least short term. Heck, Black Hills started in a garage.

[Dogbert41]

If it was that easy, but sadly only a few make primers and brass and powder, and copper and lead are not only expensive, but getting scarce.

You had me confused for a moment. I decided it was a grammar-glarp.
