This is the shite that I'm talking about.

Supplies dwindling. Must. Buy. More. Ammo.

Not sure why, but damnit I need to buy some before it all goes away.

About 23 hours of driving away from you, just north of Philly...

Well, now it's time for some real tin-foil stuff.

A friend of mine is at a gunshow in Pasadena, TX and the NICS system is down nationwide, the website apparently crapped the bed.

Let's not forget about the dealer's responsibility in all of this panic. He says they are telling people that all 5.56 / .223 ammo is going to be banned.

Even 55gr FMJ is fetching $1.00 per round.

It's sad and dishonest, but if people are willing to be deceived, I guess that's their problem.

Seems odd, juxtaposed with this:

Hmmm, it seems like I already figured it out. Have you now seen the light too?

Thats just because its a gun show, everything is inflated there. Local gun shows here have tremendous markups

No need for me to "see the light", dude. I got most of my ammo way, way, way, before all of this panic started. From the late 90s to the early 2000's, if you want to know. And I didn't pay anywhere near the prices people pay today.

There's lots of ignorant stuff being thrown around about the lack of ammo, and there's plenty of fault to go around between dealers, buyers and the government.

But when you get right down to it, if the seller has something you want, if you want it badly enough, you'll pay his price, or you will wait for a better deal. It's pretty simple.

ETA: I have more than enough ammo for my own needs right now, but I won't pass up a good deal to ensure my kids have it later on.

True, just paid $50 for a brick of .22LR over the internets. Looks like the exact same brick i used to pay $15 for, back before the dipshit panic. But i was out, and couldn't find anything local. Fortunately, i do not own an AR, so the current manufactured panic over that ammo will not affect me.

I'm not mad. I'm just trying to make people realize how stupid hoarding ammo is.
