OT Logic Stocking up on TP: LOL look at all those morons. Stocking up on ammo: Hell yeah son!!! Come and take it!!!!


Do I really have to explain to you why one is more important than the other?

The ridiculousness of the run on TP was that it was never essential

You can still shoot World War I bulk made steel ammo. You can shoot stuff from the mid 1800s.
In the 70’s I was firing WWII-era ammo with Aluminum casings.

whats unnerving about Americans practicing their 2A right? Are you afraid of guns and freedom?


No, of course not. I’m just afraid of stupid people in their 30’s And 40’s who aren’t going to take a gun safety course because they bought it out of panic, getting their first gun and doing stupid shite. I’m mostly afraid of being around their vicinity when they do it though.

Actually yes, it is. I can rinse by arse off at the hose pipe, but if things ever go to hell in a hand basket and I need to protect myself, family, and provisions, then having enough ammo is a lot more important than fricking toilet paper. Hell, I’d say in an economic collapse for instance, it would take the place of money in a bartering system.

What? You think the humidity in Texas and Louisiana is going to keep the gun powder from getting moisture in it? Quite the opposite. Ever have a Bic Lighter full of fuel not fire off when you flick that sucker a hundred times?

Where the hell do you think they are storing the ammo? In a hole in their backyard?

I have some 45 ammo that's over 20 years old and still fires fine.

Well, no. Ammo and guns are stored on the bottom of waterways for safe keeping. Hello... water?

Nope. With a Tromp loss the senate is gone D and the house id deeper D. With all 3 branches the excise tax on ammo will be through the rook and purchases will be severely limited. Likely some 10 to 15 rounds a week type limit. We will be headed for very dark days, as bad as Obamacare was pushed through the shite that will get shoved through will be that on steroids and one of their top targets is gun control.

There’s not really a shortage. It’s just selling like hot cakes.

Old ammo shoots just fine. It tends to smoke a little more, but I’ve shot some old arse ammo. In Louisiana, btw.
