Im starting to get the impression that anyone complaining about flippers or post scare ammo surges are either too lazy or never had the money in the first place.Comment

Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison
The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms. -- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87 (Pearce and Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)Comment

Yep, they are typically too busy crying about the price and searching for deals and not busy enough bettering their financial position to the point that the cost of ammo becomes a non issue, or at least be at a point that when a deal presents itself to be able to afford to buy 5-6 thousand rounds. For me it is just a consumable...of course I also will not drive across town to save $.10 a gallon on fuel either. Same batch of guys that post about how cheap their PSA upper was purchased for and "as long as it is cheap, I will wait a month to receive it". I leave the Walmart coupon shopping to my wife...Comment

It seems that the fault is solely with whoever was so shortsighted that they didn't keep a large enough stock for defending chickens and/or family members.
I don't flip but I also don't see the big deal. Why aren't the people who chose not to buy anything during times of plenty being called out for their lack of personal responsibility? Seems like inflated panic prices are the cost of not being prepared. It's not like this was the first big ammo panic.Last edited by MrTokarev; 03-22-2015, 5:13 PM.Comment

If your making 5.00 an hour you wouldn't be shooting. Owning guns and using them is expensive."Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."

If you are making $5.00 an hour you are going to have bigger problems than the price of ammo...such as food, housing, fuel, clothes, electricity...Etc.
Maybe you should sell your firearms and go back to school until you have a job that will support this hobby.
Hmm...maybe we could get the democrats to give out bullet stamps to the less fortunate so that everyone can get a participation ribbon at the local range.Comment

The government should subsidize ammo and guns for the poor then? If not, they'll have to deal with the market just like the rest of us.
Not being being able to afford to exercise a right is not an infringement. Not being able to afford publication of your manifesto doesn't mean that your first amendment rights have been violated. It would only be the case if the government were artificially increasing prices with the express purpose of preventing people from buying guns and ammo.Last edited by MrTokarev; 03-22-2015, 5:33 PM.Comment

Wealth is not a right it is earned whether by inheritance (your families hard work) or by hard work.
...nowhere does it say you have the right to afford to go to the range... If you don't go to the range you only need to purchase ammo once per incident that requires you to discharge your firearm.Comment

Let me rephrase.
The 2nd amendment isn't cheap.Comment
