The real problem is the capitalists.  The same guys are waiting in line at Academy and Walmart every morning at 6am.  The same guys are buying up all the ammo, and then selling it online and at gun shows for a 100-200 percent markup.  Basically, these guys are controlling the ammo right now.  There's plenty of ammo out there, it's just not at your local stores.  You'd have a better chance getting ammo online right now.  Give it time, in 6 months things will be better, and in 12 months, things will be back to normal.   :D

Obama isn't behind anything, it's the consumers, hoarders, panickers, and opportunists.  Go check gunbroker, there's well over a million rounds of 9mm there right now.  You just gotta decide if you're willing to pay the price for it.   :D

x2 i bet it is crazy preppers fucking the system up.

I heard they closed some online retailers down for price gouging.
And that the cops can't even get ammo.  :-\ Which is scary as fuck.

Nothing wrong with 38 special at all.  It's actually my summer carry weapon.   :D  With todays ammo technology, a 38 special is just as effective as a 9mm.

I don't get why people don't like it either.  Fairly reliable, makes a decent sized hole, low recoil, low muzzle blast, cheap, etc.  They're highly underrated revolvers.  I think everyone should have one.   :D

Be sure to test the ammo in your rifle, some of the MK1's can be picky with different 303 ammo.  If your rifle like the ammo, you should be able hunt anything in N. America with it.  They're good 100 yard rifles.   :D

I went to buy a 500 round pack of 22lr for my small pistol 6 months ago and was surprised to say the least! It's terrible and I refuse to pay $60-70 on guntrader just to have more plinking ammo. Theres no real shortage on my large caliber rifle rounds (243, 300wsm) so it's got to be the preppers and hoarders.

If you're buying online, check out gunbot for your hard to find ammo.

ammo shortage, DHS buying tons of military grade ammo and APCS from iraq and astan... are you really wondering what s going on? Easy; the economic collapse is for this spring/summer, and states are preparing for it and preventing american citizen from getting too many weapons/ammo. As simple as that. Also buy gold and silver NOW, because with governements buying more of it -sign paper money is about to collapse- it's going to get rarer and tougher for individuals to get some.

gunbot looks awesome thanks!!
Yup, fucking preppers
all i seen today is large rifle rounds, shotgun shells ( mostly bird shot), and a $$$ box or 2 of 38 special.  >:(

Learn to reload brosky, its generally alot cheaper and you dont have as much problem in shortages like these

you have brass, primers, powder so really all you need that might be hard to get are the bullets

I disagree.  While reloading is cheaper, you still run into the same problem.  I reload, and right now, there is nothing to reload with.  There is no powder, primers, bullets.  They're as hard to find as factory ammo.  However, I bought up a ton of shit before the election.  So I got enought to keep me busy for a while.   :D

Sorry to hear, is your fragile masculinity still in tact? Is their something else you can do in the meantime to bolster your deficient personality other than shoot at inanimate targets?  Hope all is well soon.  Regards

No, you could do it with a hammer, a sword, a bomb, a nail gun, cattle gun, pellet gun, the list goes on.  So, again, it was a crazy person that blew their heads off right?   ???

Guns are banned (only criminals have them) in Mexico, their homicide rate is one of the highest in the world.  Along with a dozen other countries that have banned guns.

No you can't, to blow someone's head of you need a gun.  Quite simply the rest of the things you suggested couldn't be done unless you were in very close contact with the intended victim, and even then, they are far more defensible than a gun, the risk of fatality is greatly reduced when those type of weapons are used.  Unlike a gun, if someone begins assaulting people with a baseball bat for instance, other people can simply flee the situation and the causality rate is reduced to One.  Killing using a knife or a blunt object takes greater effort, a different mindset and more time to accomplish, a gun simply makes it far more efficient to kill people at a rapid rate, reducing the possibility of defence or escape for those in close vicinity.

Ok, bomb, flamethrower, deadly virus, etc.  The list goes on.  The crazy person did it right?  I have many firearms, and to my knowledge, none of them have ever snuck out and blown anyones head off.  They're fairly well behaved, and I don't think they would ever do such a thing.  Are you doubting my firearms?  Are you saying that they're going to get loose, and start blowing heads off?  Should I be worried?   ???

Are bombs, flamethrowers, deadly viruses on sale at Walmart?  Those type of things would require serious effort  and great risk to obtain and probably wouldn't attract the fast burn mass shooter type but someone with a deeper entrenched hatred and usually some skewed political agenda.  As for your argument about your guns not have self will and requiring a person to fire, that isn't really the issue.  Those guns still have the potential to fall into the wrong hands and be used for nefarious purposes, and it also doesn't rule out someone else's gun being used on you when you are unarmed.  Famous american sniper Chris Kyle comes to mind.  The real issue is that their is so many guns, overly easy access to them and when this occurs their will be inevitable mass shootings and the like. 

I am sure you agree something needs to be done about the many victims murdered with Guns, we just disagree on how to do it.
