I swing by my local gun shoppe to pick up some cleaning supplies. I overheard the salesman telling a customer that 5.56mm black guns have suddenly become unavailable and so has ammunition for them.
So either the quadrennial "zOMG, the Democrats are gonna take our gunz" panic is beginning early this time around, or there is panic buying over something else.
Update" The "something else" seems to be a critter called the "web bot", which has apparently predicted 25 of the last four catastrophes. The Tin-Foil Hat Brigade is convinced that World War 3 will begin on March 2nd. (Google it if you wish, I'm not linking to those folks.)

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
25 of the last 4?!?! Oh NOES!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd better stock up on home brewing supplies and Zombie Max ammo!
What is mind-boggling to me is that, after the crap of the `08-`10 shortage, you'd think that everyone who had wanted an EBR would have, by now, bought one.
ReplyDeleteHave the nutters ever settled for a reasonable amount of guns or ammo? I mean seriously, every so often there's a new "Obama is going to take our guns" email and everyone goes out an buys more guns "just in case"... guns aren't perishable, they don't go bad after a few weeks or months. Ammo is barely perishable, and will certainly outlast a presidential term or three. I'm sure everyone who wanted a rifle bought one, and are now just buying backups.
ReplyDeleteI got my black rifle years ago. like late 70's.
ReplyDeleteGot the factory scope for it too. It's Not a Colt but it is more accurate than my buddies CAR 15. I could be happier if I had a 1000 rounds and 3 or 4 hundred in clips ready but hey, I'm not about to Helo into a hot LZ, either.

Sounds like the beginnings of the Foundations Psychohistory (Asimov).
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the early birth of the Seldon Plan.
or maybe a parity error.
Eck!
