It is hardly socioeconomic, Guns and ammo are expensive. So what does that mean?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nah, not expensive. You can buy a single shot 12 guage for 60 bucks. And the ammo is cheap too, less than $5.00 dollars for a box of 25 rounds.

Looks like you know little about guns, but that does not suprise me in the least.

Do you own even one? My guess is not.

Struck a nerve did I? Well you can rest assured that my community and neighborhood is populated by very like minded individuals, and we will never allow anyone, including any government authority, to remove our freedoms, or the enjoyment of our property in safety.We don't have to organize. We all believe in the same things. And we are all only a phone call and 10 minutes away, under arms if necessary.

Call it whatever you want. Whether you like it or not, Americans all across this country are ready to do the same. Thats the true meaning of the so called run on guns and ammo. We will never become subserviant to a state, Utopian or otherwise. The state exists to serve us and do as we direct in preservation of our security and personal freedoms. And we will do that job ourselves if the government fails in that duty, willfully or otherwise, as is our right and sworn duty as citizens of this Republic.

And so far the Obama Junta is implimenting policies that will cause government to fail in its duty to preserve our security, privacy, personal freedoms, and enjoyment of property.It doesn't take rocket science to figure out what could be next.And the lefties know that and are shivering already.They know where the line is and what it will cost them if they cross it.And if they want to test our resolve, let them. As a nation, its patriots are ready.

Now go and piss off in whatever cowardly closet you might have wandered from.LOL.

357 Sig in my Glock is my main carry. It’s loud, and I mean loud.. Mule kick, but you know it’ll be effective. It’s a solid order of magnitude of power over the 9mm.

That’s weird. You must be kidding. So you caught me. You are right. I own no guns and in fact, never shot one.

Too Scary. Loud noises you know. Guns are are dangerous and I don’t think anyone should have them.

They are assault weapons and designed to do one thing, kill people.

Honestly, why would you own a tool of violence? You should be able to talk your way out of violence. If not, call a policeman. They are the only ones who should have a weapon that visits so much violence on humans.

A piece of paper could really inflict serious damage to the human body and in the right hands, well, who knows. A thousand paper cuts could result in so much damage that no one would ever consider challenging you.

Seriously, your intellect is as hollow as an empty pickle barrel. If you pound it hard enough it cause some real damage to a persons ear drum.

The only thing that surprises you in the least is your abilty to shoot your mouth off with out csusing serious damange to yourself.

Anyway, your right, I don’t have any guns anymore. I was fishing last year and decided to clean my collection.

Sadly, a huge wave washed over the boat and my guns were thrown to Davy Jones Locker.

Now, I lie awake at night, in wistful prayer that the whole event never happened.

As far as being a coward, you are so perceptive and I shudder with shame, as my stories are mere imagination of competence, ability and shame that I am less than capable of performing the simplest task of shaving without cutting myself and damning the razor companies for making such a dangerous and freely available weapon of self destruction.

I will pray for courage, though it will likely never come.

Thank you for keeping me real and honest.

/s

There is perfectly good 9mm FMJ ammo available for $9.00/50.

The stuff for $25.00/25 is HP High End Self Defense Ammo:

Corbon, Gold Dot, Golden Saber, Etc.

My kid bought a Saiga automatic shotgun, Mosin and Dragonov from the former Soviet block. Had to pick them up at local gun dealers.
Then he ordered ammo for the Mosin and Dragonov from the same.
Ought to see the U.P.S. guy when he delivers two thousand rounds of ammo with soviet markings all over the wood boxes weighing a hundred pounds or so.
And its legal.
Me? I just like my little Kimber.

Not all would be doing it for that reason, at least not me. I would be doing it for protection. Guns are expensive, not everyone has one, but the ammo can be used by others in the neighborhood to protect the neigborhood, as well as barter for things they need that neigbors have.

I got no further than the first line of this moonbat article. I stopped reading when I saw that the increase in ammo sales were caused by “racism and right-wing hate.”

I thought Mother Jones went out of business in the 1970’s.
If I want to read a left-wing rag, I’ll pick up a copy of “The New York Times.”

.308 difficult and expensive. Nearly $50 per box 20

Since i'm still unpacking to some degree from moving back in December, I was down in the basement emptying a few boxes and came across a little gold-mine. Six boxes of .308 match grade ammo, a couple of boxes of .45 ACP, an box of about 3k .223 brass, and another box of about 5k .308 brass from match grade ammo. Needless to say, it's a little trip to range this weekend. One thing I always keep a stock of, 30-30 and .22 ammo. Most people seem to ignore it. I also picked up one of the GAMO air rifles that will shoot about 1400 fps. A nice little gun for small game.

The military expert who undervalues or even disregards guerrilla warfare makes a mistake since he does no take into consideration the strength of the heart.

The Germans are a prime example of what happens when you underestimate a desperate and determined opposition. All anyone has to do is look at the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during WWII.

“.....Victorville was a tiny God-fearing community populated by white conservatives living an isolated frontier lifestyle with heavy military overtones.”

....classic sentiment from a Jewish leftist panty waist...it’s got their fear mongering words in a neat little package:
God fearing
white
conservative
isolated
military

Poor Yasha gets an F for her crappy organization of her screed, her spell checker gets a B for catching 535 spelling errors in the first paragraph and my puppy gets an A+ for peeing on target all over this pap.

If Yasha the Yahoo wants to see high altitude nose-bleeding, bug-eyed racists, go visit the Congressional Black Caucus and its parent grand poo-bah, the democrat party. The strident screech sheet she writes for gets an honorable mention in the Racist Hall of Fame. Julius Streicher Awards will be presented by an Obama impersonator.

And bring your own hose and dogs, Yasha. The paint and brushes will be there to scrawl your beloved swastikas.

Winchester White box used to go for $9.35 for 100rnds.
The price has more than doubled, if you can find it.

I reload, so I save some money, but not so much anymore.
This primer shortage reminds me of 1993.

I would guess that would be the case for many, unless you are in a tightnit group where everyone has their place and function intact already......
