20,000 people looking for ammo.

Midway has had 1,000,000 unique customers this year.

There is no where on the internet that is not out of stock for pistol bullets.

Magazines are sold out.

Ruger, the biggest gun manufacturer, is not taking any more orders.

Today I saw bricks of Rem Thunderbolt 22 ammo sell for $75 each.
And people were buying them.
There's a sucker born every minute.

What sane person thinks they need more than 100 rounds of ammunition
on hand????

All of them. Anyone who actually goes to the range with any regularity
knows that 100 rds is nothing.
So you have an expensive hobby.. I can see it if you are a target
shooter - but it's not target shooters that are causing the run on
ammo. It's nut-cases figuring they need enough ammo to run a private
or civil war for 4 years again.

Actually the run on ammo, guns, magazines, etc. is almost entirely first
time gun owners, many are asking me or others I know for advice on what
to buy. All the long time gun owners stocked up last election, have all
they need and in some cases are selling some surplus for a tidy profit.
As for expensive hobbies, I have many and shooting is one of the cheap
ones.
Well, flying is definitely more expensive, as is building the plane.
Cars too.

What I was getting at is, if you want to have an expensive hobby, you
don't complain about the price. It's your choice. If it's not a
hobby, having a lot of ammo sitting around does not make much sense.

So how many fire extinguishers do you have in your home?

A the moment, eight.
But only two on the boat.
At the moment.


I think we are on the same level of protection. G

Ill not ask how many firearms, but I suspect I have you beat
there...maybe. You do live in Texas. VBG
