Strap In for the Ginsburg Riots, Kids
So, how was your weekend?
The news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing on Friday certainly ratcheted up the 2020 crazy by several orders of magnitude, didn’t it?
I was heading out to meet some friends when I saw the news on Twitter and my first thought was, “This might be the last time I can get out and have fun before ‘peaceful protests’ begin again.” The lefties wasted little time in confirming my suspicion that RBG’s death was going to do the seemingly impossible: make them even more unhinged.
The civil unrest that we’ve been dealing with since May got out of hand because it was being aided and abetted by elected Democratic officials in each of the riot cities. Democrats were perfectly OK with looking the other way and pretending that the riots weren’t happening. It wasn’t until last week that Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi got around to condemning the violence, and that was only after new polling revealed that voter sentiment in the riot zones was shifting to Trump.
D.C. Democrats are already caterwauling about what they will do if the Senate votes to replace Ginsburg before the election and they happen to win control of the White House and Senate in November.

It really won’t take that much ammo...not much at all.
I remember someone saying that if every German Jewish man would have had a Mauser and 20 rounds, and will to use them, that nazis would have been stopped cold in their tracks.
And when this is over, (and someday it will be) and prices come down and availability goes back to normal, remember to stock up.
Go on the basis that, if the local fire marshal would not flip out over your stash not being in a bermed ammo bunker, then you haven't bought enough yet.
Probably a Ruger Carbine or one of the equivalents. The longer barrel greatly improves velocity, depending on the type of ammo. Also improves accuracy. Handguns should always be considered a poor second option in a civil disturbance. A carbine class weapon would always be preferable.
perhaps a militia to patrol.
Some places in Northeast Ohio are only selling ammo with a firearm purchase. A friend recently got a Ruger Security-9 compact 9mm, and was limited to two boxes of range ammo ($18 each) and one box of hollow points for 30 bucks.
The Democrats can "denounce" all they want, PROVIDED they continue to tell the cops to stand down and not arrest Antifa rioters, and prosecutors to continue to decline to prosecute.
Talk is cheap.
Pistol, rifle, shotgun, 35,000 rds easy. Thats 45 years of buying and saving up. Feel kind of bad for somebody who got “gun woke” six months ago, but they should have seen the writing on the wall years ago.
Bingo!
Thanks.
We haven’t noticed this, yet....thankfully, in our area.

Im good! I am only missing some nonmainstream calibers.
I need more 50 BMG.
Currently about
12k 223/5.56
8k 300 blackout
6k 308
5k 12ga buckshot and slug
3k 9mm
22lr I am good I have 72,000 plus rounds. I have been buying 555 round boxes since they were 12 bucks a box.
My main handgun platform is .45 ACP. I have 24 50 cal ammo cans full. Each ammo can holds 760 ish rounds. Plus a few misc box so about 20k total.
Make sure you have plenty of magazines and replacement parts. I am buying lots of replacement parts right now for my ARs . Have some backup BCGs and springs and trigger groups etc. that’s the nice thing about the AR platforms different calibers all share a lot of same parts.
I hope there aren’t armies of people out in the streets. I’d prefer to hear the aftermath of certain unfortunate incidents to certain people with no known suspects. Sort of like what Henry Bowman instigated in Unintended Consequences.
For those who truly do not have enough ammo, they better buy a reloader and supplies.
There is very little useful ammo available for purchase.
Common handgun calibers are virtually unavailable.
FYI, critical reloading supplies such small rifle and pistol primers are very difficult to find. While projectiles are available, they’re hard to find as well... same goes for powder.
Anyone who DOES NOT own a firearm and wants one asap, i recommend they seek out a caliber that isn’t that common these days... something like .270, etc. which can still be found and can still be reloaded (large rifle primers are easy to find)
Final word; you stock up BEFORE crisis hit... not during them. All of us in the firearms world learned this in 2008... and there were lessons to be learned again after sandy hook and again in 2016 when everyone thought HRC would be reelected. This is the most prolonged and worse I have seen it with no end in sight however.
I've been reloading since 1999. I have tooling for most of my cartridges. My most frequently used supplies are Win 231 powder and small pistol primers. The primers are unavailable locally. When I first started reloading, a sleeve of 1000 primers in 10 packages of 100 each was $20. A friend in Tennessee just coughed up $165 for 1,000 small pistol primers. My last trip to the store showed only large magnum rifle primers in stock.
Boxes of 9mm (50 rds) are running $25 to $40 for ball range ammo. It was $6.50 for a box of 50 9mm when I first started in 1999. 45ACP Speer Lawman 50 rd was $11.99 and it was cost effective to reload with a net reload cost of $6.50 to reload 50 rounds. The economics have shifted.
For most of the past 5 years, I could buy a bucket of 9mm 115 gr (350 rds) for $89 at Sportsmanswarehouse.
Most of us have enough to melt all of our barrels. Now, how many invested in body armor, helmets, less-then-lethal weaponry, and all the accessories to carry that stuff and still blend into a crowd?
commie bullets for commies.... sweet irony!
One very valuable lesson I learned when I had to discourage a group from coming at me:
As a group, they knew they could take me. As individuals they knew I would kill the first one to come into reach. Nobody wanted to be first.
It doesn't matter how many there are, if nobody wants to be first.
The Wolf 9mm is covered in lacquer. My wife tried to shoot it from a Sig 225. It began to jam with flaked off lacquer. I cleaned the pistol and hand-loaded 124 gr 9mm for her that dropped the brass at her feet and cycled 100%.
We still have some of that Wolf 9mm around. The Ruger PC9 rifle eats it without complaint. Make sure the firearm that you plan to employ with Wolf 9mm will keep on going and not jam like the Sig 225 did.
There are also videos on "cut shells" where the plastic shotgun shell is partially scored to have the plastic remain with the shot to keep it all together until the target.
