People must really.....

[itzkwik]

I'm dumb founded as I watch people pay ridiculous prices for ammo an firearms still, especially when they have been members on here for years, they must really think something is going to happen or their paranoid. 500.00 for a 110.00 lower, 600.00for 1000rnds, hell I just bought 1000 7.62 last night for 300 delivered, I just dont get it.

I agree 100%! I can understand being scared about not being able to get high cap mags but not ammo and parts.

I think that it is a little of both. But I believe either way we look at it ammo is going to be high from here on out. I just paid $373 for 1,000 rounds of 556. But I got lucky to find it. Now to the people that paid 1,000 for 1,000 rounds of lake city are crazy. Cheaper than dirt was selling 20 rounds for $28 bucks!! No excuse. But I would rather be paranoid and stock up while I can rather than wait and not have anything when the time comes. But of it doesn't come at least I got a lot of ammo to practice with.

It blow my mind, I saw at the last gun show ammo 420 rounds for $500. This is the same ammo my Son bought at a retail store up in Kansas at Christmas time for $192 plus tax(which was still too much). The thing is people were buying it. More power to them I guess, I'm holding out. In another 3 weeks or so, I'm trading my AR and ammo for a house.

Do you really think they will tax the ammo or do away with it? Their worried about the economy? Think about what that would do to ammunition companies, I dont see it happening maybe mag regulations but not ammo. I could be wrong but I like everyone else watched this nonsense happen in 2008 and 3-4months later you could get whatever you needed.
Tuesday Biden will jack his jaws to his buddy and the histeria will get worse for a little bit and he's either going to try and act like a Dictator or it will slowly go away and get back to some normalcy with a bunch of people trying to get rid of their 2000.00 AR that is only worth 700.00.
I'm going to the gun show tomorrow and taking my XDm, I'm exicted to see what kinda trade value its worth, lol

The prices for most guns are up. Particularly anything semi auto and for sure AR's. You may really be surprised how much our XD is worth. It is crazy I agree but folks are scared.

 

[itzkwik]

Its an XD M, thats gotta give it an extra 300.00 for sure, lol

Understand, though, that in 2008 we didn't just have a mass shooting of 20 kids and 6 adults to sway public opinion, either. It's a bit more serious this time around.

Having said that, I've been telling everyone I could over the last year or so to buy 7.62x39 - as much as you can hoard. Just as we see the "you dont need an assault rifle" rhetoric, I'm 100% certain you'll hear the same for imported ammo. "7.62x39? That's a military cartridge, not a hunting or sporting cartridge. No one hunts with that, so no one needs that - there are better calibers to use for hunting." And so the ban on imported ammo comes, as there's "no need for the importation of Russian ammunition designed to feed Russian assault weapons - rounds that were designed to kill people, not to hunt". So all imported ammo goes by the wayside, as the easiest way to do it is halt importation of foreign ammo. The only way I see that all of it wouldn't get the axe is if they did the same thing with Russian weapons and ammo as they did with Chinese stuff in 1994.

taxing ammo and/or limiting online purchases would be an easy thing for them to do. the crazy(to us) notion of numbering ammo isn't so far fetched either. they won't go after ALL the guns, that fight would be to tough. the constitution doesn't say anything about the right to keep and bear ammo,get my drift

I'm in the waiting game, too. I have what I need, but I was looking for some other stuff when this all went down. I'm with surjimmy. I'll be trading off some stuff I don't need in about 3 weeks, because I'll have to capitalize on this ridiculousness. Okay, sarcasm doesn't convey in type. If I trade off anything, it won't be to capitalize, but because I want something else.
