The time has come to STOP

OP, if you were prepared, flippers wouldn't be such a source of angst for you.

PS...if you think it's bad now........

PS...if you think it's bad now........

You can't just do that. Start a sentence and not finish. What the hell is going to happen and how bad will it be?

I try to. There is people here and FFL's I won't do business with. I have a long memory.

I have a black list if you will.

I have memorized, written down shops I won't deal with anymore.

Same for some memebrs here, I've even added a few to my block list. Because if the guys have no remorse by taking money and gouging other members. What in gods name will mKe them grow a back bone if a deal falls through or you buy a gun/part from them that's not up to standard. You really think if they can gouge and make a profit with no recourse. They won't be a "sorry sold as is" kind of scam?

I don't. This whole gouge event just shows us all who has a back bone and who doesn't. Buyers and sellers. Makes me glad we have iTrade to see who's who

Oh, I get it...Everyone please stop buying so a few can manipulate the market. Even if that "manipulation" is more availability for OP. "If we all stopped hoarding" yeah, you make a lot of sense buddy. Maybe you've heard about those 20$ bricks back in the 80's, lol. Oh my gosh, some of you guys are killin' it, just in a bad way.

Plenty of .22LR available, you just have to look & open your wallets. Go ahead, by all means, PLEASE "wait out the crazies" I can wait to see what threads you start next summer.

Walmart still sells 525 rnd bricks for $23. The 325 Federal boxes sell for a hair over $16 per box. They just don't have them after the same three guys buy them out each opening morning they arrive. The "flippers" bragged to all three WALMART managers that they sell the boxes online for twice what Walmart sells them for. The real price of the bulk ammo you see advertised here and on GB is easily half of what the flippers spent.

Where do you find "match grade premium" for 9-11 cents a round? Perhaps I need to know what you define as "match grade" first...

First off, try using "ammoseek" and you'll find numerous retailers advertising "MATCH" ammo starting at 11 cents per round and very available. Match grade is printed on the boxes and is defined as such by the manufacturers, not me. They also market their premium rounds as "competition", which also sells at 11 cents per round. Too many brands and retailers for me to list, so, if you still doubt me, look for yourself. Oh, and you're welcome!

The time has come for people to STOP whining about flippers.

You can't just do that. Start a sentence and not finish. What the hell is going to happen and how bad will it be?

Three realistic scenarios in my opinion.

1) Deleon takes another run at his ammo restriction/permit bill. Have to have a permit, no internet purchases and other such insanity. But this time as the more powerful president pro tem of the senate. And even if Brown doesn't sign it, our next Governor Newsome most certainly will.

2) Hilary. The run will start as the campaign hits it's final 6 months. Full steam when she wins. Just as it did in 2008 and 2012.

3) Another Sandy Hook is inevitable. Too many whack jobs in the weeds prescribed psychotropic drugs for it not to be

Learn to reload. Hopefully it will be awhile before they get to component restrictions but you best hoard those too. Remember Lautenburg in the senate tried to do just that.

A lot of you guys are missing the point many veterans are trying to make. Get off the complaint bandwagon, buy some ammo, including .22 & stop worrying what everyone else is doing. Never understood why so many people are more concerned about others than themselves. "But, but the Walmart flippers charged 5 more bucks" I have NOT seen .22lr at Walmart in over 2 years. I've seen plenty come out of my barrels though.

During what most of you call a "panic" the last one that is, I shot .22lr weekly, while I saw dozens (every trip) stand in line at gunstores with that "someone stole my ice cream" look on their faces.

Some of you guys are real dummies. Buy some ammo & go shooting. So what, you'll pay a little more. Buy a better trigger & barrel while your at it & shoot for accuracy. In other words, stop shooting teddy bears & TV's at BLM & slow down.
