If gun owners did NOT vote for a Democrat, we wouldn’t be in this mess.


THAT ^^

I have a gun owning/carrying cousin who voted for Hillary and Bidet.

Needless to say, we do not directly keep in touch.

“Vista is losing money, doesn’t make sense.”

They’ve dumped a ton of cash into new facilities and equipment. Short term loss for long term gains.

I’ve cut back the number of rounds I practice with quite a bit to conserve ammo. I still see a lot of people still going to the range. There’s always a waiting line at the indoor range as they only 3 of 8 lanes open.

I understand the ammo shortage better than I understand the firearm shortage. One of the stores I frequent has an outstanding order with Savage since January, all but a year now, and still waiting on delivery. Have they completely shut down production?

Whenever someone asks about current restrictions or future ones, I always say, “if people keep voting for Democrats it will only get worse”.

They just bought the Remington ammo business out of the bankruptcy liquidation of Remington.

Hmm, sounds like a debt write-down. Probably worth a look.

Henry and Kimber are in NY and have not delivered any product.
Don’t know where Savage manufactures, but they may be in the same boat.

Ammo is the “new T.P.” but for God’s sake don’t use it that way.

I've got a couple politicians I'd like to use it on the same spot...

A number of gun owners that I know personally are still upset with Trump about the tax reform that ended up being a tax increase.

Not sure how they voted, but I would not be surprised if they did vote for Biden.

Excuse me there is no labor shortage in the USA. None what so ever at any level or occupation.

You can't keep it on the shelves precisely because you have people dedicated to buying it as soon as it appears on the those shelves (actual or virtual).

Twenty one years ago, my next door neighbor invited me to his house because he had something that he wanted to show me. He had dozens of guns all across the floor of one of his bedrooms. Then he opened his huge gun safe and it was completely packed with ammo from top to bottom, there was no room left in it for even a hand gun. It is pretty humid here so I asked him if he had any desiccant in the safe to help keep his ammo from going bad since he had enough to last for years. Of course he had no idea what I was even talking about, and got mad at me for being a know-it-all.

If you are going to hoard massive amounts of ammo make sure and store it correctly. Unless you live in a very dry place... put it in an air tight container and include packs of desiccant otherwise after a few years your powder will be affected and your brass and even primers can become corroded. This results in unreliable ammunition.

In my neighbor's case I should have just left my mouth shut because he has been unstable since the day that I met him. Every time I hear gunfire, I assume that he has just killed his wife and/or his kids. Fortunately we live in a neighborhood where other neighbors down the hill from us sometimes do a lot of shooting behind their houses. My neighbor's wife constantly berates him and he is always taking it out on their kids. It is a screwed up situation. I am glad that he doesn't bother to go to the range ever and has ammo that has been improperly stored for over 20 years.

Yup! And I’ll never understand that. If having a right is important to you, why would you vote for people who are determined to take it away?

Are you in the right thread?

If the NRA stopped giving A ratings to Democrats this would stop pretty quick like. The NRA is not the friend of those who believe in the Bill of Rights.

If you vote on Dominion machines, even if you do vote Republican, you’re voting Democrat.
