RE: AMMO SHORTAGE

[nynco]

We don't have to go that way -- we were headed that way but the recalls changed things. Let's get Hudak out then rally behind anyone-but-Hickenlooper in 2014. We can still take this state back.

I'm on board with that.

I cannot wait until Colorado is back to not being short on ammo all the time.

I would prefer not being short on Constitutionalists. Then the ammo thing could work itself out I think.

I just wish the prices would come down again but as long as people think some of the current prices are a "deal" i do not see that happening.

Right on. That's really what I want more than anything. I'd rather have that than anything

A pupil goes to school and sits down to take the test. Here is one of the questions:

2008: After the presidential election, there was a run on ammo and it took a while before the prices/shelves returned somewhat to normal. Johnny's shooting hobby was curtailed until ammo was once again widely available.

2012: After the Sandy Hook shooting, there was a run on ammo and prices/shelves have not yet returned to what they were 13 months ago. Johnny's shooting hobby was curtailed until ammo was once again widely available.

2016: After the presidential elections, or the next mass shooting, there will be a run on ammo, AR's, Etc. Johnny's shooting hobby will be curtailed until ammo is once again widely available.

Now, based on the above, what should little Johnny do?

A) commiserate with others who no longer have ammo either
B) take up basket weaving while ammo is unavailable.
C) sell all guns and spend the proceeds on that culinary course being advertised on late night TV
D) wait until after the 2016 elections or next mass shooting to see if there will ever be another run on ammo
E) set aside a little ammo during times of plenty so as to keep the shooting hobby alive during future ammo shortages

I picked option E but with Obama being the best firearms salesman to ever walk the plant my friends bought guns like they were candy. Soon after i was asked if i wanted to go to the range 4 times more often then i was in the previous years, and who can say no to a range trip. With the new circumstances i was forced to pick option A but thankfully the time to pick option B, of the underwater variety might i add, has not come up yet.

I went to Cabelas at 144th and I-25 this morning. They had 50 round (Rem), 100 round (CCI) and 325 round (Fed) cans of .22LR on the shelf.

[brutal]

I went to Cabelas in Lone Tree yesterday after getting back in town around 2PM and they had no .22LR.

However, they did have a metric shit ton of centerfire pistol and rifle ammo. No trophy rounds for .308, but if you waited until now to get your 3rd rifle ammo, you're a dumbass.

They had quite a bit of HSM .308 168gr BTHP reloads for $17.99/20 box. I've shot it and it performs as goo as Fed GMM @$27-29/20rd box. I picked up some more and some (a bit) overpirced 100rd value pack WWB .45acp @ $47.99 each.

In addition to other factors of course, limiting ammo to 10 boxes of centerfire and 100 rds of .22LR is helping curtail the gluttons and stabilizing supply. I do hope Hornady picks up production on .308 Interbond sometime soon, my previously adequate supply is dwindling.
