Two ways to disarm a nation, take their guns or just make prohibitively expensive.

Which one do you think are government is going to do it.

But they do not realize a large majority of us make our own.

Nothing has changed since last November. We fucked ourselves. I got suckered in like most everyone else too. Stock piled what I could get last year and in spring. Now the price is falling back down because the buying frenzy is just about over. There was no short supply, we just bought more than we needed, I know I did. Therefore it wasn't on the shelf like it normally would be. Gun dealers have made out like theives and we the people are broke. We did it to ourselves.

@BigOleCyclops Fuck big business corporate america for off shoring our jobs and importing 50 million of these fuckign mexicans.

[MrAppleseed88]

So when the fuck are wages going up to cover the cost of ammo?

We need a international workers union to stop being fucked by corporate america.

@BigOleCyclops Not Obama. Fuck hoarders.

The best investment you can make right now is to buy ammunition.

Inflation is the problem. Not taxes. I am so sick and tired of all the sheeple mentioning taxes. In 1989, SKS'es cost $75.00USD PT. My wife's yugo she bought in 2005 for $150.00USD PT. We just visited that same shop last week. Yugo SKS in fair shape: $479.00USD PT. He says the liberals are taxing him to death. HorseShit. His lease is almost $10,000.00USD monthly, competing, profit, gas, pay workers, insurance, cost of living, food, etc. Price-gouging. greed, gluttony. Matthew 19:24 - DUNAMIS!

Back in the 1700's, they didn't go to gander MTN, or Cheaper than dirt. They made there own bullets at home. Why? Because the head Judge told them they could. And I ain't talking about the supreme court district judge either. I am talking about the Christ. He is the one and only one I fear. Imagine a true revoultion, one that consisted of no attacks. Depart from Capitalism. Just fall back. Hard at first, but easier as time goes on. There are 2 kinds of people in this world: Free, and slaves.

You are all in trouble. Ammo is the least of your worries. Getting right with Jesus should be all of our main priorities. Stop worshipping the gov't. Fall back. Depart. Set up a Gun/Blacksmithing shop in your home. My references come straight out of the Old Testament, in the 1st book of Samuel, chapter 13. Stop buying. Invest your money into making ammo. Cartridge brass, boxer primers, lead moulds/casts, furnaces, presses, swages, reloading kits, and smokeless powder. Or Cordite. Finally, defend

In 1 hour of firing my semi-auto I paid more in ammunition than I paid for the gun

[MrAppleseed88]

I found a nice source for ammo, and I do not want to share. I am afraid, that is everyone goes their the prices will go up as the shelves go empty. 

This proves to me capitalism is bullshit. Consumers demand cheap ammo, and produces just dont not met consumer demand at all.

Same with housing, they would rather keep people homeless then allow prices to fall. capitalism sucks ass. It does not met the needs of the people.
