Thread: Rimfire Ammo Shortage...

Whats happening IMO, is the feds cannot achieve any gun control, and they know it,But they may be able to curtail the fodder that feeds the guns.
Do not be surprized if in the near future all the ammo companys get bought out by the feds and they control 100%of the ammo.
You got no primers? no casings? no powders,you are better off with a 2x4.

Next ya'll will be saying that the government is using a program to read everything we do on the internet.

Tell ya what,10 yrs ago a buddy and i were headed back south from a watch show in Tacoma wash. we stopped in ashland OR. for the night,walked accross the street had a few pops and some dinner.
Came back to a metal door that was ripped off our room,I lost maybe 6K worth of watches and cash,My pard lost 350K worth of watches and jewelry.
Nothing was insured,Leos came in, they called the FBI,Long story short.
A year later I get a knock on my door,two FBI agents,Pls come in, what can I do for you sirs.was a followup on the robbery,No fraud involved as there was no insurance claims,They had every email I had sent and recieved covering the entire preceding year.You are being watched.
You put Key words (trigger words) in emails no matter how mundain,somebody may just aim in on it. once this was the land of the free,No longer the case

What are you doing walking around with so much $$ in watches? And if you were a vendor - then wouldn't you be insured even outside of your brick-and-mortar?

You cannot insure moving from to show,I was not that effected,my partner was,he is a pearl dealer and had some 50K strands,that was the bulk of the loss,maybe 100K in watches,do's not take many platinum pateks to get to 100K.

Oh ok. I thought you could get insured... actually I know you can. That said, it's prohibitive. So you used to sell jewelry? That's cool. I always thought that would be fun.

Have you read the news lately? They are.


On topic, for the first time in the last year my local Bass Pro actually had 5.56 on the shelf. They probably had around 5K rounds. I took my 200 round limit. As for rimfire, there was nothing but 17HMR. Nice to see 5.56 finally though. I expect to see things coming back to earth soon.

I have to admit, I have seen Zip-Guns made from what used to be a 2x4; never have to worry about them rusting.
