“What trend is going against this new world order? Nothing that I can think of.”

Well, retailers around here can’t seem to keep 7.62 x 39 ammunition in stock, and I *know* there isn’t anywhere near that much target practice going on.

People aren’t stockpiling a few hundred rounds; they are laying in *thousands* of rounds.

I just wish I hadn’t lost all my guns in that terrible curling accident.

"Well, retailers around here can’t seem to keep 7.62 x 39 ammunition in stock, and I *know* there isn’t anywhere near that much target practice going on."

So you see, many true conservatives, more honest and seeing the rising mountain of debt, lack of production, etc., are poor folks, buying cheap, commie 7.62x39. Meanwhile, most of the AR-15, 5.56mm-buying-class are the new/political/regulator class, soaking up the larger but increasingly worthless clumps of debt from this debt regime.

Paradox, eh? ;-)

Joking, of course, but I do notice that many who are buying some of the more expensive "black guns" ("as seen on TV") are bureaucrats and the more government-dependent, corporate admin office types (regulators: no competition allowed).

I'm getting too old to participate in much excitement and will sit the whole end-of-the-world thing out here on I Told You So Hill, where only the extreme cold, high winds and spraying ice are very dangerous.

As for firearms? Well, most of 'em will work for what they were intended to do, technically speaking...and more, for those few with some extra ingenuity (sportsmen/machinists and the like, who can sometimes work old new wonders with accuracy and function). I've spent many hours on ranges in the past but haven't been able to get past the fun math of infrequent hobby ballistics study and to the noisy, smelly, boring range in recent years. ;-)

IMO, most of our fellow Americans, good and evil, couldn't stand a day away from their entertainments and conveniences to even perpetrate interesting riots. Look at the recent May Day commies. They quickly broke a few things, discarded their in-style, black outfits and hid in larger crowds as quickly as they could. They couldn't stand a week in the field as proper guerrilla bad guys. They're only going to pose a lot and find out firsthand, what living in a third world country is like.
