Ammo scare....

[gregintenn]

Anyone care to pontificate on the next potential sky to fall? :popcorn:

Gaseous emissions from the firing of ammo are contributing to "Climate Change" and must be regulated immediately.

[hipower]

Yep. Toxic lead particles being released into the atmosphere will  poison all the little children.

Walmart doesn`t have .22LR ammo....

If one can ever possibly buy it in bulk packs, they will be taxed on the amount of methane emissions eminating from the lower regions when they see the final total on the receipt.

Wouldn`t want to be the clerk with the methane "sniffer". Edited March 10, 2015 by TN Volunteer

Taxes on supplies, powder, primers, brass and lead.

Ban all outdoor ranges because of lead contamination

Holy cow guys , don't give them any ideas :ugh:

[BBdown]

Holy cow guys , don't give them any ideas :ugh:

Exactly what I was thinking!! 

[Mike.357]

they have already thought of it all.  None of us can give them new ideas

[JohnC]

My local Walmart had plenty of M855 last night.

[jeff43]

I'm hearing their gonna ban the green tip 22 LR next. Lol

[JAB]

Honestly, I believe that the 'green tip' ban is a way for the ATF to put out feelers.  If banning that ammo succeeds, they will start looking to ban any and all ammo that could, potentially penetrate soft body armor.  Of course, given the 'right' circumstances and testing protocols their results could likely include at least some varieties of pretty much every medium to high powered rifle ammo and likely some handgun ammo, as well.  It won't matter if such ammo has ever actually been used to shoot a cop and defeated body armor or not.  As I mentioned in another thread, I seem to remember the late and not lamented Teddy Kennedy pushing to get some varieties of 30-30 ammo banned because they could defeat soft body armor.  Think about that - a firearm, usually a lever action rifle, that is likely viewed by most non-gunners as one of the most 'benign' of the deer rifles and some jackhole has already tried banning at least some varieties of ammo it uses.

Piss on 'em. A part of my pile...

A good start.

[mikegideon]

A good start.

 

It ain't the whole pile. My poor reloading area is a huge mess. 

[hipower]

Sort of like the area I laughingly call my gun room? Boxes of ammo, empty cans, and every gun box I've never thrown away.

And maybe a few hundred rounds of assorted calibers.

Yep, I am sure you are already on missile lock from an orbiting drone as we type..... :surrender:

[whitewolf001]

Guess I'm glad I got my 1400 rounds for my upcoming class when I did. :(

Mine really is a gun room. It's just being brutalized by a remodel right now. And, I need to build a reloading bench.

[btq96r]

They don't need ideas...they just need to propose a vague, half heated idea, then sit back and watch the gun community eat it's own while ammo prices artificially inflate.

 

As has been said often here, "we're our own worst enemies sometimes."

Did anybody notice there's only one more letter from scare to scarce?

[Dustbuster]

Hmm There's over 20k members here, let's all do a group controlled strategic buy,and start a shortage
then sell it all to the hoarders for a fast profit. Well ready have our ammo so no loss all gain!
