  1. I'm pretty sure I made my stance on the subject pretty clear, but man, that's rough. As scoutfsu mentioned, I don't think you can be all that surprised. Not only did you admit to doing it during the heat of this panic, you kinda laughed at the criticism and said you'd do it again if given the opportunity. For the sake of you and your family, I hope you are able to find employment in the very near future. I think I read somewhere that Bass Pro and Cabela's were going to be opening shop.
  2. I am nowhere near an expert on the matter, but I always thought that you were allowed to keep the items you owned prior to the ban taking effect, unless otherwise specified. I could be totally wrong, but that's how I understand it.
  3. Once upon a time, many moons ago, I also did something very stupid.   I was kicked back in the recliner admiring the Ruger .357 Blackhawk I had recently received from my Father. It was loaded when I decided to wipe the fingerprints off with my shirt. Luckily it was resting almost flat on my belly, pointing away from my body, because you know what happened next. BANG! It took me a minute to regain my composure before I could start checking myself for a large hole with blood pouring out. I was lucky.   I knew which direction the bullet went, but I couldn't find a hole anywhere. After several minutes, I found the entry point behind the tuft button on the sofa. The bullet entered right behind the button, so you actually had to pull the button to the side in order to find the hole.   In the end, the bullet traveled through the sofa, the wall behind the sofa, the rear of the dresser that was sitting on the other side of the wall, the read of the middle dresser drawer, the clothes in the dresser drawer, finally getting lodged in the front of the dresser drawer, behind the decorative metal plate. I was thankful that the dresser was placed where it was, because if it hadn't been there, the bullet would have likely exited the bedroom window and ended up who knows where.   Needless to say, I now think about that moment every single time I handle a firearm.   Glad no one was hurt in your incident.
  4. I ordered 2 M&P 15-round mags from Botach 3 or 4 days ago. It said they were in stock. I clicked the "check availability" tab, said it was in fact in stock. I received an email about 10-minutes ago stating "The following item(s) highlighted below from order botach-1151XXX are on backorder with no exact ETA". Based on my past experiences with them, I knew better.
  5. Welcome to the last week or so. There is some ongoing issues with the server. I don't know all of the technical lingo.
  6. I don't think they know much more than we do. I think they are making a smart and cautions business decision. The last thing they want to do is order truckloads of merchandise that they may not be able to sell in the near future. They may or may not lose a relativity small amount of money, but they stand to lose far more if they order inventory they can't well.
  7. The fact that he was re-elected proves that a great man are color blind.
  8. It was Spittin' Bullets. Thank you.
  9. I was in 5 gun shops on Friday looking for 15-round M&P40 mags and a few other things. TN Gun Country had the biggest selection of mags, but none that I was after. There's a little store (the name escapes me) in Springfield that had a handful of G19 mags, but I imagine they were wine before the weekend was over. Now I'm on the hunt for 4 reasonably priced PMAGs for the AR I just put together. I may be out of luck there.
  10. Those who live in commi states are much stronger than myself.
  11. [quote name="mav" post="884294" timestamp="1358134119"]It is possible something shady is going on.  However, I have read several forums regarding this matter and several people have opined that Walmart is no longer in a position to bully distributors on what they are willing to pay for ammo due to the unprecedented demand.  The price of ammo is at a premium right now and as soon as it hits the shelf anywhere it sells.  Why would a distributor still sell ammo to Walmart so cheap when they can easily get a premium and sell everything they have.   I don't know what Walmart's reasoning is, but I can state that Walmart does bully the $hit out of it's suppliers.[/quote] That makes perfect sense. Even better than my thoughts.
  12. I know we shouldn't be surprised by anything this administration may do, but I will be quite surprised if they restrict ammunition. Wal-Mart is likely only being cautious. I'm sure they are only making sure they don't get stuck with truckloads of ammo they can't sell.
  13. [quote name="dlm37015" post="883247" timestamp="1358042831"] 1 i dont sell ammo 2 i didnt have any 55 geain bullets which is what you ask for[/quote] I was wondering what the heck he was talking about.
  14. I hope so, too, because I refuse to pay the inflated prices of today. I will find one for what I consider a fair price, or I'll go without.
  15. Looks like they have been arrested on a federal warrant. http://www.wsmv.com/story/20571569/tenn-brothers-who-killed-deputy-arrested
  16. Like a dummy, I sold my first AR a long time ago, and I may have possibly waited too long to get another one. I've got the lower half covered, now I'm making an attempt at the upper half. Other than that, I'm not too concerned.
  17. Actually, it was $5 for parking + $8 for admission. I didn't want to go, but I am one of the fools who waited too long to get an AR, and I needed some parts. I found what I needed for the lower half, but I may be SOL where the upper half is concerned. I'd like to get in before the possible ban, but I'm not giving in to these ridiculous prices.
  18. Prices for what?   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/58243-goodmans-gun-show-nashville-112-113/
  19. I wasn't involved in this hobby when the '94 AWB took place, so I have a couple questions.   If they implement a ban on AR-15s, will companies be allowed to manufacture and sell all parts other than the lower receiver, such as upper parts, LPKs, etc.?   If they implement a ban on high-capacity magazines, will companies still be able manufacture and sell magazine parts, such as springs, followers, etc?
