Guns And Ammo Production Maxed Out: “This Is A Society Preparing For War”
Mac Slavo
February 14th, 2013
President Barack Obama is, arguably, the best gun salesman ever. Over 65 million guns have been purchased since the President took office in 2009. FBI background check statistics indicate that, over the last twelve months, Americans purchased a new gun every 1.5 seconds, a figure which suggests there is much more to the recent panic buying than people just stocking up to go hunting or sports shooting.
The following guns and ammo industry report indicates that every major gun and ammunition manufacturer in the country is running at 100% capacity, with many so far behind that they’ve stopped taking new orders altogether.
Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.
RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days.
FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out!
Armalite: Maxed out.
DPMS: Can’t get enough parts to produce any more product.
COLT: Production runs increasing weekly…bottle necked by Bolt carrier’s.
LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity…can’t get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.
Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind.
AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.
MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.
RELOADERS… ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra’s for reloading purposes… it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted…
Many who have exercised their Second Amendment protections are first time buyers concerned with Federal and State gun grabs being spearheaded by politicians who are using the Sandy Hook school shooting as a pretext to restrict access to personal defense rifles, larger capacity magazines, and even ammunition.
But this may only be a part of why there’s so much demand. There are millions of Americans who are genuinely concerned with not just the government taking their guns, but all of their other Constitutionally protected freedoms as well.
We understand what happens in regimes that disarm their people. We’ve seen the democide of the last century, which left hundreds of millions of people dead or displaced when their governments turned on them.
We are determined to prevent it from happening in the land of the free.
Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand.
It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20—were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone.
This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.

With over 300 million firearms in America in the hands of private citizens, the people are sending a loud and clear message to their government.
Back off. Stop encroaching on our personal liberties. Limit yourself to your Constitutionally granted powers and nothing more.
You’re not the only ones that are armed.
Cabelas already took most of their reloading stuff off their online catalog. They don’t even list .223 as a loaded ammo caliber any more. Midsouth, Widners, and Brownells are all months backlogged. Powder valley, ammo man, etc... All of ‘em...
Anything that does up is gone in seconds. What you do find for sale costs orders of magnitude what it used to.
But i guess you are right, because some spokeshole for one company said things are peachy... It’s all just hysteria to be debunked.
The names “Trey Mullins” and “Hildebrandt”, “Kellogg”, “Ruiz” and “Figueroa” mean anything to you?
Got a reference to the “debunkment”?
...and there was an AP report yesterday that gun sales were slumping because the manufacturers had over-produced models. Been to a gun store lately? ...gun sales may be slumping but because there are none available at your local store because they are sold out! Why does no one question a report like AP put out yesterday?
Do you have any idea how many firearms owners are represented by "1%"?
Typical media - lying by omission.
Gun sales and Ammunition sales have slumped due to shortages and high prices.
The next “Crossroads of the West” (CROW) Gun Show is 2 Months away - I’m definitely going to buy some 12 Gauge shells but I also want to gauge the crowd and see how many novices are attending and the pricing and availability of firearms and ammunition.
Did you hear they were selling T shirts in LA that said:
Non Chris Dorner
Please Do Non Shoot
ROFLMAO

Weird typos in previous.
In MN and WI there are Mill’s Fleet Farm Stores that seem to have ammo. I bought 800 rounds of 9mm, 400 rounds of .223 and 200 rounds of 38’s a couple of weeks ago. One store had a limit of 5 boxes per trip, so I made two trips. I travel for business and now have a policy of stopping at every Mill’s store I pass by and acquire some peace of mind. The gun shops I stopped at were basically out of ammo so try the lessor known stores like Mill’s.
The propaganda machine is the enemy that we must be ready to defend ourselves against. They are intentionally pushing us toward violence. They want good peaceful Americans to shamefully give up their Constitutional rights, or be murdered. They aren't ignorant either. They know the meaning of the Second Amendment. They aren't doing it to reduce violence either. They are the exact tyrants our founders envisioned us needing the right to defend against. Those we see on TV pushing us into fourth generation warfare, are hypothetically going to regret threatening our lives. We have a right to defend ourselves.
We need Conservative states organizing militia forces. The states need to be pressed on this issue. States who pass laws to arrest federal agents attempting to enforce certain laws need to have the teeth to back it up. While we press the states on this I think simple neighborhood militias should be formed. We should also work with those counties with real Constitutional Sheriffs on organizing a militia they can call upon. Discussions between Sheriffs and residents should happen in these counties at least. There needs to be a significant increase in defensive forces to show these state laws, and statements from Sheriffs across the nation are more than unenforceable symbolic protest.

I think once the economy and crimes gets worse and we reach a point were packs of hoodlums start roaming the streets, neighborhoods will start “watchdog groups” that are armed and they will use cell phones, twitter, etc... to quickly alert members of impending trouble so they can lock and load and meet any trouble head-on as the police will be of little or no help as they will be overwhelmed.
At some point and time within the next few years I think we will start to see neighborhoods band together and eventually those neighborhoods will join each other, much like street gangs but with a different purpose.
Like I said in a previous post, when the SHTF, guns (and ammunition) will be worth their weight in gold.
The Government is buying up Millions of rounds of ammunition, probably to create shortages for the public so we are driven to be dependent on the Government for everything.
I may have to buy more 9mm ammo in addition to 12 Gauge.
WAR EAGLE!
Bless you and Thank You, sir!!
A small principled Patriot movement can be victorious. Patriots have to fight smart. They can't attack infrastructure that would alienate supporters. They can't target family of enemies, or let emotions make them act stupidly. It isn't hard for most to understand. If it comes to this it will be a war to free our nation from tyranny. It will be fought for the people, not against them. If they don't act against us, they should be spared from it as much as possible. Resentment caused from some people's inaction can't be used as an excuse for anything either, because it won't help anything. It's no different than being brutal because you were a victim of brutality. It still hurts the cause.
A hypothetical insurrection that makes the media and political leadership of the aggressors(those who have the chance), go into hiding out of fear of every citizen they see is what will happen. I think a fourth-generation war hasn't even been thought of by these instigators. They see standoffs like those in the past. I don't think they believe it could possibly touch them.
The Oath Keepers organization is something I think people should take a look at. It's made up of former/active duty military and law enforcement. Oath Keepers brochures are available to be mailed, handed out, or placed wherever you think could be effective. Outreach can make a vital difference. Many active duty patriots don't join, but are glad to see a movement of like-minded Patriots in similar positions as themselves. A small donation can also help more than some may believe IMO.

The reaction of many would be to come back later and shoot the ATM from just out of camera range.
They know names, IP/MAC and real addresses
I have been away from network management for a long time (14 years). Is there a mechanism whereby the MAC address is known outside the local network (unless the router has been compromised or some program is sending out the MAC)? I'm wondering, if I were to buy a laptop wireless nic off eBay and cruise around different wifi nets in town, is there a straightforward method to determine it is "me" each time? (unless I log in somewhere, etc)
Was thinking about having some printed up for dogs.
