You sound just like my youngest daughter, but then she is a Lawyer in Boston so I would expect it from her. But You, who I have believed to be a level headed country boy gun owning conservative, surprised me with this.
I don't trust any of these libtards. Guns have been confiscated all over the world because people believed politicians when theyb claimed all they wanted to do was use common sense measures to tighten control over who can buy a gun. However, I'm not going to break my bank to stock up on stuff I may never use. The key to this is buy a little at a time and stock up over time. It's a good idea to have a supply of ammo and it's always fun to buy a new gun, if it's something you want.
However, the worst of all this is the Obama administration has figured out that if they buy up a lot of ammo, then we will not be able to get what we want. If they can't outlaw our guns then they'll give us gun control by default. If there's no ammo or components available, then they don't need to confiscate our guns.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
The Senate doesn't have the appetite for it, the House doesn't have the votes. Obama is a powerless gelding. He can't do anything.
But the perpetual fear is getting annoying. I want to buy some 22 ammo, ****. And I want to do so without getting a 2nd mortgage.
I know there are some who would say it's my fault for not preparing. I guess... But that attitude is partially what is driving this demand and subsequent scarcity. I just think that it's a sad state of affairs that I MUST hoard if I want to shoot.
I'm not saying I trust Obama. I know he has no use for someone like me and even less use for guns. (unless it's for his Secret Service) But he's a joke. And has much bigger fish to fry.
What we are suffering with is fear because "he COULD" or, gasp, the U.N. is coming for my guns. This is all a false panic. And I'm sick of it.

But ain't nobody in Kennesaw GA coming for your guns, Elmer, so put down that third brick of 22 and buy beer instead.
So yeah, I agree that gun seizure isn't likely to occur, but it's not due to the wishes of liberals to not do so, but rather to our activism to protect our rights. We need to be vigilant always.
Trust the government . Believe the government. The government and its representatives are your friends. Trust them. They won't hurt you. They have your best interests at heart.
If I can just get them to believe this then maybe prices will come down so I can afford the 1911 I want.

Done. Sorry. Never had a problem with breitbart, not that it's a site I frequent, it just was a link from the Drudge Report.
2) A big liberal complaint is that firearm manufacturers are responsible for influencing politicians.
3) People (in this case) are responsible for influencing politicians.
4) Phil Hartman did a skit of Heston doing Soylent Green.
5) Heston was president of the NRA.
6) Soylent Green was people.
7) The NRA is people (not corporate interests).
I was wrong... Seven levels of funny!
The Government is not coming for our guns today, but they exist to control us, by our own permission. It is up to us and the Constitution to limit their reach for more control. I wish that they would focus on enforcing existing laws rather than attempt to create new laws.

Sure, he can. The question is, "Will he?"
I say no. First, he's not that stupid. Second, it's just not that high on his agenda. Look at the ball-less executive orders he cranked out after Sandy Hook. They accomplished nothing other than enabling him to say he'd "done something". And that was mere WEEKS after children were shot dead!!
Now that we've moved even further away from SH, he's less inclined to rile that sleeping dragon.
My thoughts, anyway. It's open to debate, sure. And like I said, I'm not suggesting we become less vigilante. Just that we tamp down the fear just a wee bit.
Exactly. Hoarding ammo does NOTHING to limit that reach. All the other actions we take DO.
Just tired of the current situation, is all.
He isn't stupid, and it is very high on his agenda - near the top, in fact. But, because he isn't stupid, he now knows the timing is still not right. He misjudged the mood of the public because he lives in a liberal/socialist bubble in which anything he personally believes is deemed to be right. He was convinced that with a well-coordinated media assault, he could spin the Sandy Hook tragedy into a mandate for gun control. It worked in New York and a few other places where all opposition could be stifled with straw-man arguments and the usual demagoguery, but it didn't sell, nationwide.
We mustn't forget that he is still just a community organizer, and his job is to keep his very tenuous base whipped up for the mid-term elections, and recruit more morons with emotionally charged rhetoric and bogus 'facts' that nobody in the media will hold him to account for. His one goal is to destroy all political opposition, basically the Republican Party, and to continue to paint conservatives as tin-foil hat wearing rednecks. He has to regain control of both houses of Congress before he can ram his real agenda down the throats of an American public that is slowly waking up to the fact that he doesn't give a damn about solving any problems that will cure what ails the economy.
Remember that he had everything his way for two years and was able to ram through Obamacare and countless other still-to-be-discovered laws and rules that are designed to break this economy and establish government as it's only savior. He has not done a single thing since losing the House, except tiptoe around the edges of his real agenda with executive orders, and quietly allow the various bureaucracies to overstep their authority when no one is looking.
Give him the House in 2014, and you won't recognize this country in 2016. Give him the House and the Supreme Court, and nothing short of revolution will ever put Humpty-Dumpty back together again.
First was when Clinton's assault weapon ban went into effect. Any semiauto military rifle of any make was in high demand and supply got short, but ammo and reloading supplies were stable and obtainable at slightly higher prices.
Second was the first election of Obama. People panicked thinking he would somehow ram a firearms confiscation bill through. Semiauto firearms and ammo became somewhat hard to find, but reloading components and equipment stayed available.
Third was Obama's reelection. Same deal. Semiautos and ammo became somewhat hard to find, but reloading components and equipment stayed available.
Forth time. Sandy Hook and push for draconian gun control. Most all firearms of ANY type are in such high demand that demand exceeds supply available with factories running full out. Ammo is pretty nonexistent on the shelves and extremely expensive. Reloading equipment and components are mostly unavailable at any price. Reloading equipment and component scarcity is new. Never been scarce to this degree before. Danged preppers!
It's herd mentality driving the scarcity. The scarcity of a thing or suddenly realizing a thing may no longer be available can drive panic buying. The shelves get cleared during the beginning. This reinforces the belief that the thing(s) desired are soon to be unavailable, and anyone seeing such items on the shelf buy them in bulk to hoard for the future. This is when some people step in and buy all they can get their hands on and raise prices sharply, and use rhetoric to imply that 'this is the last that will be produced' or similar to drive inflated sales prices and further panic. This causes even more panic and another buying frenzy. Rumors fly the whole time. The system is now in place and feeds on itself. I could throw in some points of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs here, but that would be overkill.
It's nothing but herd mentality at it's worst. It will die down when either the politicians shut their pie holes about the recent gun control push, or people hoarding get their fill and stop or slow down their buying. Both would be good. An analogy to this is gold prices; it went from around $270 per ounce to nearly $1400 now due to stock market uncertainty. More herd mentality and panic buying drove the price up. More of that demand exceeding supply thing.

OK, now that sounds more reasonable coming from you. I can live with that, and somewhat agree. But your initial post had me worried.
This shortage really is not what worries me. It just pisses me off. But the real worry is that Obama would if he could come after your and my guns. That is his goal, in my opinion. It's in his agenda. That's where I was coming from. Also, thank God above, that the congress (Both houses) is never totally lame duck. If so, they might sell us down the river in a heartbeat. But they're on a rotating election schedule (By Design) and it's hard to find enough of em at one time to sell us out.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
Question. If you were going to screw millions of people out of benefits they paid for, while also increasing taxes on their earnings and savings, and giving what they earned to people who have never worked or who were here illegally, wouldn't you want to disarm those people you were screwing first?
Dufus Joe Biden said in a speech that the Tea Party people are simply nonviolent anarchists. How much more rape and plunder by our government will it take before the "nonviolent" part goes away? They have to get our guns. We have to keep them!
