no ammo at walmart

[Barth]

I've got to say,
I'm thinking a lot more about stocking up on ammo than shooting it.
I've got to break in, and dial in, my new AK.
But after that, I want lots of high end stuff on tap.
Looks like I'll be doing a lot less shooting this year...

Guns and ammo are made for shootin'.

If online sales are banned?
Much of the high end ammo I like will be unavailable to me.
Not that standard stuff is all that bad.
But I get 50 round boxes at 20 round prices.
And I'm spoiled running best of the best stuff.

Hopefully It will just be black gun and mag ban.
With added background check, transfer and sales rules.

But taxing ammo, and gun show / online ammo, is definitely on the table.

The Democratic party will never allow it to happen. They know it would be political suicide. Getting re-elected is what drives politicians.

I really hope you're right.
I'm just not sure anyone has any control at all over this mad man.

There's going to be a lot of noise-making on both sides. In the end, very little will get accomplished.

Despite the noise, the Democrats don't really want to be responsible for passing an AWB, because they know it will hurt their electability. But, they won't pass-up the opportunity to blame the Republicans for blocking their efforts to increase gun control. In return, the Republicans will take credit for preserving the constitutional right.

It's a game. Neither party really cares about what's best for the country. The budget drama of the past year exemplifies that. They care about themselves, their party, and about getting re-elected.

I've been having trouble finding .223 to purchase. Everywhere I went they were sold out. Then over the weekend a friend came to see me and brought me 7 boxes of ammo....for FREE! I was thrilled. You see he works for the DEA and gets as it by the bushel...also for free. Also they use nothing but .45 ACP for their pistols and I don't even want to tell you how much of that he told me he has. I just got lucky.

Everyone needs a friend like that.

I'd like to meet your friend.

I could use a new friend.

I actually had a call from an online ammo distributor Monday.
He said he was the owner and had never seen anything like this.
Three of four boxes of high end .223 I had ordered he didn't have.
Was very apologetic, said he could refund my money.
Or offered to switch three of the boxes with some like high end stuff that just came in.
And hadn't even been checked into stock yet.

Naturally I accepted the swap.
I've had to go to expensive, and little known, distributors to get the good stuff now.

I feel like I'm making drug deals at this point - LOL!
I've never seen anything like this either...

I KIND of understand 5.56 ammo being sold out, and maybe even semi-auto handguns, but why .22LR? What's special about it? My local walmart is still sold out of everything but hunting cartridges, 357 mag, and 44 mag. They had JUST got in a few boxes of PDX .45 and .40, but nothing in 9, 380, or 223...and the 22lr was barren.
