Something is happening, but you don't know what it is, do you, Senor
Repo.

http://www.infowars.com/ammo-sales-prices-skyrocket/

U.S. firearms owners have bought an estimated 12 billion rounds of
ammunition during the past year, gun industry analysts said.

The figure far outstrips the 7 billion to 10 billion rounds sold in a
typical year, The Washington Post reported Monday. The spike in sales
began when people started to take seriously warnings from the gun
lobby that with Democrats controlling the White House and Congress
there would be new restrictions on gun ownership, the newspaper said.

As consumers stepped up purchases, supplies tightened, prices went up
and a shortage developed. The shortage has begun to ebb and gun-
control advocates are expressing concern about the record amount of
stockpiled ammunition, the Post said.

"Facts on the ground" - as the Israelis call it. A political bloc
does something - whether settle the West Bank so densely with Jews
that giving the land to Palestinians or making semiauto tactical rifle
ownership near-universal in Red Nation - de facto making it an
irreversible fait accompli that no political group can reverse.

Is he?? Is he actually claiming the election was stolen?? Was it
hanging chads?? Rigged electronic voting machines?? ACORN stuffing the
ballot boxes?? Disenfranchised black voters?? Ballots too
compicated ?? Thousands of ballots found in the trunks of election
officials cars?? Vast leftwing conspiracy?? Please provide examples of

And 10 years from now, when martial law has not been declared, when
socialists and commies are not ruling with an iron fist, when there
has been no revolution, when no one has tried to seize your guns and
ammo, when life is pretty much moving right along -- just what the
hell are you going to do with 10-year-old ammo???

Once again we see the total lunacy of the rightwankers. But the ammo
manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank -- along with the
NRA, who is lining their pockets with your donations.

Shoot it and replace it of course. Dont you cycle your canned goods?

Hummm..Ill bet you have about 4 days worth of food in your cupboard and

Then they grab you and slip a noose around your neck and then pull you
up a lamp post..and let you do the Spandau Ballet..like a sheep in the

nasty knot around your neck, cutting off all of your air...as the lights
dim and finally go black..and then they will trot off and let you swing

The Washington Post didn't tell you that the shortage was caused by
larger than normal purchases of ammo But Also the 3 US manufacturers of
small arms ammo were running Three Shifts, 6 or 7 days a week, for most
of a year. in attempt to meet the demand.

The Fear by gun owners, is, that the Obama administration will Require
Identification of ammo buyers and their purchases, and thus gain a "de
Facto" central registry of Gun Owners, and their guns, an eventuality
that Congress Always Worked To Forbid!!

There exists in this country, No Central Registry of lawful gun owners.
Almost 90 million of 'em.
Not even the BATF has any such lawful registry.

The US government sells it directly to the public. People worldwide shoot it
with no repercussions. Again your ignorance shows. Old ammo doesnt get more
powerful, it isnt alcohol. Worst case is nothing happens. As long as powder
is dry, it is good. Idiot. Not a redneck btw, IT professional.

The last bit of WWI ammo I fired..8mm JS , 1917, and some 1916
Springfield 3006..was getting a little long in the tooth. Fired ok,
though a bit mild..but report to report was a bit erratic as was bullet
flight.

I figure it had another 75 or so years before some misfires started
showing up.

Obviously fuckheads like yourself have no idea of the types and
versitility of ammunition and are simply blowing buffoonery out your
ass.

Ive got an 1871 Jaegar rifle

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_Model_1871

And I took a 435lb hog 6 yrs ago with ammo loaded in 1876

Didnt seem to slow up the hogs going down in his tracks.

Whop! Thump.

Of course I do have a Peabody that came out of a mine, last known to be
worked in 1866 and the round that was in it, worked, but was very weak.

So ammo 146 yrs old seems to still go bang! when asked, and if properly
stored.

Shrug

Now about your lack of comprehension of firearms and data. Id be happy
to help you out with your lack of education. Simply send me your
questions and $20 per question and Ill provide you good, clear and
concise answers.

You're as dumb as a rock, aren't you? Ammo is one of the very few
things whose value DEPENDABLY only increases, and one of the very few
that l*a*s*t*s if decently stored - so the very least it will be is
cheap plinking ammo for far less than whatever Wally World then sells
ammo for. Especially with the dollar's ever-decreasing value.
Much more likely, revolt is now certain. The regime will need ever-
increasing tax levels to fund its deficit spending and debts to Asian
banksters - and there's a very limited maximum that can be taxed out
of a now-largely-unemployed public. Pass Obamacare - requiring every
middle-class person to pay an ADDED house-payment-size monthly payment
for mandatory health insurance - in such an economy, and revolt will
be unavoidable.
