Poll : Ammo/Guns "flying off the shelf"?

[Sourdough]

Democracy is two wolves and a rabbit voting on what to have for lunch.

Liberty is a well armed rabbit preventing the vote from being enforced.

Wow... I'm impressed... that's a good analogy. Given the standard of human nature today, the tendency is for those with power, money, influence, etc to force their agenda over the good of the country - or group.

You have my vote!

Is that really a Cootism? I don't know how to act with two "Coots" on the forum. I'm not sure we can stand it. Either way, spoken like a true politician. Nice job.

[NCO]

For us, no change to either way when it comes to ammo sales.
Only recent change is stricter laws in getting premission to carry a firearm. You got to be 18 instead of 15(or was it 16) and for handguns you need really good reason. This due two tragic school massacres in last couple of years. Funny thing is that politicans don't seem to understand that it is not the easy acces to guns and ammo that causes such things, it is the increase of mental problems of people.

Sorry if I went off a bit in an earlier post, but if you saw the laws that have recently been passed and those that they are trying to push through here in California you would cringe. Of course our esteamed senator wants to push through another assault gun ban bill.
Do any of you have a definative definition of an assault weapon???

Cars, Trucks, Baseball bats, I have a Bad'A$$ four prong Pitch-fork, I have five assault-Geese they can peck you to death in 15 minutes. On the north 40 there are my highly skilled assault Grizzly Bears......

Yeah, what he said.

No fuel for survival?

Green plants and tomahawks will never die (permanently). An AK47, a Mosin Nagant and a .22 with a scope with 5,000 rounds each will give you one heck of a head start in my book for survival. And don't forget your cache tubes! Have a look - see here for the tomahawks:

Ain't it the truth? When a man owns a flame thrower there just ain't much left to drool over.

According to Rosie O'Donnel (My favorite person) it is "a gun that fires a bullet, every time you pull the trigger."

... is it supposed to happen every other time Rosie dear?

The only thing I agree with Rosie on is we both like women. She is a waste of good air and so stupid the NRA would do well to hire her. That person kinda wants to make me ......I quit, time for the blood pressure stuff.

I went on the eternal quest today for more ammo, which isn't to be found. Wally World now has a sign stating you can only buy six boxes at a time so other folks can get some. I have no idea how many times you can get in line.

In the past few weeks, I have seen several news articles that describes how ammunition, and to a lesser extent - firarms, are being bought in such quantities that many stores are having a hard time keeping ammunition in stock... are you seeing that in your area?

You know, I know we aren't allowed to post on politics... but I'm not sure if this constitutes as political - if it does, please delete this post admins.

But I think that people are scared that Obama is gonna ban firearm use - which we all know is impossible, so people are stocking up and freaking out. Just an opinion, but again, please ignore the political end of it

[Rick]

Once a frenzy starts it just feeds on itself. I buy more than I normally would because I know if I find any kind of ammo it might be weeks before I find it again so I buy all I can. Everyone is doing it and the manufacturers can't keep up. Part is the concern of some law being passed but I think it has taken on a life of its own now.

As everybody has said, it is tough to find ammo in stock at Wal Mart. When they get it in the seem to stock the shelves (at least around here) at about 9:30. I picked up a bit, and the cashier let me know that Wal Mart has just put a six box limit on purchases of ammo.

I was at a gun shop the other day and one of the sales people said that their firearms sales are starting to go down because people can buy the gun, but then they can't find any ammo for it anywhere.

It is very much possible. We won DC vs. Heller by 1 justice. A justice is stepping down and obama is going to appoint a new one. Any guess as to the new SC justice's gun control policy? He also doesn't have to ban all guns, he needs but to make ammo to expensive. He could increase the excise tax and we would be without protection from the 2nd amendment.

Ever since November firearms are getting difficult to find, and ammo is rare. Everytime I go to the local sporting goods store, they are sold out of pistol ammo and 22 long rifle - and especially the cheap stuff. Once the price of 22 reaches $25 - $30 a box, the stores have plenty of that in stock.

A couple of the stores marked the prices of ars and aks up by 3X overnight. After obama was elected, the stores around here had their wasr-10s marked at around 1,400. When just a couple of weeks earlier they were $375. The big discount stores are staying pretty stable on their gun prices, and especailly the ARs. One guy told me they are selling out of ARs the same day they arrive at the store. They only put a couple out on display, or people will buy all of them at the same time.
