I originally was posting this on another thread, but figured i'd start my own as to not whack anyone else's...so here goes:
Doesn't everyone realize that we're cutting our own damned throats by doing this??????? You think for one minute that the supply vs demand pricing isn't going to kick into effect with ALL retailers soon if we don't stop this crap? Then we'll all be on here bitching and moaning and jumping up and down about the prices going up...well DUH..............how long do you think you can STAND IN LINE WITH 30 OTHER PEOPLE foaming at the mouth to buy ANYTHING and sooner or later the SUPPLIER not saying..."Yanno...i bet they'll pay this or that for this item".
I've been in a ammo soup kitchen line three times because i needed something in particular....didn't buy "my limit" any of those times. Even that was feeding the sharks, so i have been as guilty as anyone...but if we'd QUIT making these SHOWS of buying freaking ammo, this problem would dissolve. If we'd QUIT standing in a 20 person line and just stop by the ammo counter when we happened to be in the store and buy a box here and there there would be STOCK AGAIN, and maybe they'll leave the prices alone.
WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES!!
We are creating and feeding the monster we're trying to kill.
This isn't meant to single out anyone, i even added myself into the mix....but i tell you what. I don't care how bad i want, need or THINK I NEED ammo....i won't be standing in any damned line to get it anymore. I like shooting as much as anyone...so does my wife and kids, but i'll not be part of it anymore. Talk about SHEEP.....that's exactly what we're being.
For the "I'm gunna get MINE" crew.........quit being a dumbass and soon you can have all you want. You're playing this stupid game at the expense of everyone else and the hobby you love! You're shooting yourself in the damn foot!
And to you "BUSINESS OWNERS" or however you want to justify what you're doing....that are buying it then turning around a jacking the prices up and selling it in your "establishments" and even on here.....You are sickening. Yeah, Yeah...I understand all about free enterprise and all that crap, so skip the lectures on THAT...it's the point. And anyone buying ammo at those jacked up prices unless it's a possible life or death instance where you don't have ANY and you need it for hunting or defense....you need to stoppit! STOP and it'll return to normal MUCH MUCH quicker. Quit making it PROFITABLE for these jackwagons to stand in line at WM and flip the ammo over to you at some crazy ass price.
STOPPIT!!!!! just STOP!
Rant Off........
NOTICE: remember: Due to high ammo and fuel prices all death threats and hate mail must be accompanied by a 10 dollar processing fee. : )
