I went to a local gun show yesterday and was just amazed. To begin with the line was extremely long, everyone that I spoke to had the same thought on their mind and that was to spend money at the show....
What amazed me was the price of ammo, I had to pay twice as much for ammo this time then I did back in November. SO here is my thought to the title of this post.
We all have read about the billions of rounds of ammo that the gov't has been buying over the past months. What a better way to limit our ability (or control our guns) than to take away the ammo???? I think this is how they are tipping the scales to control us..... WITHOUT us realizing they are doing it....
I did get mad yesterday when I paid, I asked the clerk if they are paying more for the ammo then before. He smiled and smartly said oh yes sir we are! I have heard from dealers that the costs have gone up a cpl of percent but not 100%! Since the supply is down, the dealers are raping us.... Guess I can't complain too much as that is CAPITALISM at its best!
I hear what your saying but I took all my gun related stuff off my truck, including my NRA sticker.
i so hope you’re right, that the public has stocked up on ammo!
buying up all the ammo(by homeland security agency), would be a back door way to incapacitate gun owners. government pressure on the manufacturers, and harassment via the EPA,OSHA etc, could certainly curb supplies......and not a law had to be passed....
