Don't confuse 'supply' (which is a flow, or ability to acquire more) with 'stock' (what you have on hand)

I'm not. One shouldn't be worried about supply IF they have sufficient Stock. It's the panic calls that ask you IF you want to sell any ammo since they only have 500 rounds . Those folks have an issue with Supply since they didn't Stock up.

True, but given that when supply will be restored is unknown, any amount of depletion of stock will eventually result in stock going to zero.
They are only experiencing the supply problem because they had a stock problem...
if they're not using any ammo regularly, then it's not a supply or stock problem- it's just a comfort problem.
but yeah, assuming supply will be constant in this political environment is a mistake...

I just feel like arguing semantics today I guess...

Not that it will make any difference in the final decision but the Petition is still moving along -https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/pet...ition/XrvVh1cj

I'd like to see it hit way more than 100K.

Currently at 79,828 with 10 days to go.

Police say ban isn't needed.

"Any ammunition is of concern to police in the wrong hands, but this specific round has historically not posed a law enforcement problem," said James Pasco, executive director of the Washington office of the Fraternal Order of Police, the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with more than 325,000 members.
He told Secrets that the round used mostly for target practice "is not typically used against law enforcement."

I stash factory ammo and just shoot my reloads. That way I don't burn through the factory stuff. The factory stuff is for "emergencies."

I'm already stacked deep, but ordered 4,500 rds. of assorted stuff yesterday, for myself and two other people....nothing panic about it, really.

It was just time to get some more, and yes I reload.

I'm more than a bit baffled why anyone would think signing a White House website petition had any meaning at all.

Submit a official comment to the ATF proposed regulation, they have to respond to those under the APA.

I did both; truth be told, I don't think making the ATF spend 2 seconds on a response to a comment will make any more of difference than the petition.

I wrote and called hundreds of times in the run-up to the CO elections and the D's went ahead and did what they jolly well wanted, no doubt rather amused at our efforts. Several of those people ended up being sent down the road due to a recall election. That was nice, but we don't have the recall-election option with the ATF, or with the great leader. I suspect the next two years will be somewhat unpleasant for those who think their voice affects how they are governed.
