M855/ss109

[mutt]

Don't misunderstand me - I'm not saying that the legislation is good. It isn't. It is a very clear chipping away of liberty and I hate it.

I just don't get why people are willing to pay significantly more for M855 than M193 now, or ever. By all means, stock up on whatever you need, but don't be wasteful about it with your limited resources (money).

I'm not saying you like the ruling (It's not really legislation. The ATF is making things up as they go.) but I think too many gun owners are taking this too lightly. Too many have the "What's the big deal?" attitude. It's a big deal.

And people are paying significantly more for m193 as well. You can't buy ANY.223/5.56 bulk ammo at a decent price now. It's practically the same for 7.62x39. If you haven't stocked up already on your preferred flavor, you missed the boat and hopefully you can wait till the next lull (if there is one) in the storm to buy. Our side, as usual, is myopic and only focusing on the specific issue at hand and not seeing the big picture. This is about far more than m855.
