This is your ant and grasshopper reminder

[C3D]

Folks, things are OK for now. We have a shitty governor but a Republican president and senate.

This can very well change in the next 18 months. We know that the last election was rigged for Hillary, and I am sure 2020 will be so again rigged for Corey, or Kamala, or Elizabeth, or Joe, or whichever Demorat will run next time around. So don’t count on Trump being re-elected, as much as we want that to happen.

I’ve seen this movie a dozen times now; starting with the VCCB in 1994 under Clinton; the election (twice) of Obama; 9-11 panic; and the Sandy Hook panic. Everything firearms related drying up or being gouged. New bans. Laws proposed.

So if you need to stock up, now’s the time. Guns, ammo, mags, accessories, whatever. The Demorats have made it clear that firearm bans are high on their list of priorities. It’s the first — and only — bill passed in the House since the start of the year.

Be an ant, not a grasshopper. Get the CCI Mini-Mags at $5.99 a box, before rebate. 9mm at $200 per thousand. AR lowers, while they can be bought. Buy it cheap, stack it deep.

 

[tirwin1]

100% agree.

 

[Twogunwilly]

pffft, Trump 2020 by another landslide.

 

[thegatman]

Buy now. Buy often.

 

[Blimey]

A few years ago people lamented how when they were younger 22 was a nickel a round. As you said we are there again now.

If a dem takes oval again it will be another run on ammo.

But lowers? No point in buying them, they keep getting lost overboard.

 

[Podmonkey]

No, no, no, no. The left thought they were resisting? The next democrat president needs to be facing an insurrection. I will not obey democrat rule.

Not sure how you can call 2016 a "landslide" for Trump.

Numbers don't add up.

 

[togmaster]

Don't need any reminders brother. I'm already there. Investing in precious metals on a regular basis.

I see what you mean

 

[BDinPutnam]

I don't buy the "popular vote" bullshit but Trump won PA, Wisconsin, and Michigan by a combined total of 80,000 votes or so. Which swung the election.

Her majesty didn't bother campaigning in those states really. Do you think the dems will be stupid enough not to in 2020?

MI and PA can be got- easily- by the dems through the big cities alone if they turn out the vote.

Back to my original point- 80,000 votes in three states in a nation of 120 million elegible voters =/= "landslide" in my book.

PS, funny thing- shift a very little bit of red/blue and I believe that graphic above would also be reflective of both of Obama's victories. Don't let USA Today graphics guide your thinking about the holistic body politic.

PPS those also appear to be county by county results which are essentially meaningless in most states which are winner take all.

Been doing this for years as I’m sure most here on this board have.
If people haven’t seen the light by now well... shame on them

 

[Acer-m14]

2020 could be the new 1775

 

[GOPerfect]

I have never let up. The United States is getting very close to the point of no return. Politically, socially, financially and population outlooks.

Makes almost no difference who gets elected in 2020, sure it will get worse, but I believe we are completely fucked either way.

Yes, I am a huge supporter of Trump, if he runs, I believe he will be re-elected, but will it really matter?

Should know what's coming regardless what party holds power.

 

[togmaster]

Steel, lead, and brass?

You know it.

 

[Blimey]

BDinPutnam is right. Trump won a large amount of electoral but when you break it down a small swing would have cost him that, and we already know he lost the popular. Keep your guard up, the democrats haven't given up.

AMMO, buy ammo. The next couple of months are going to be a serious blow to our Second Amendment. Cuomo and the Libtards are going to destroy our rights.

"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum."
If you want peace, prepare for war
Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, Roman General

“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians

The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.

Sun Tzu

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.

Three days ago I saw in a local walmart 500 round boxes of that thunderbolt 22LR for $14.98. Not a typo. That's three cents/round. Winchester brass 5.56 for $58 per 200 rounds, and some great prices on 9mm as well. Isn't it about time people freak out again and the only stuff on shelves are skeet shells?

 

[TestPost]

The last election was rigged for Hillary...what in the even? Do you recall who won the last election?

 

[Blimey]

I was mistaken, it was not $14.98 but rather $14.58 for the 500 box of 22. Also brass 9mm for $.17/round. If the state legislature passes any law, as there is a lot of chatter about, it will be a while before we see a shelf like this again. This is the Webster, NY Walmart, this morning.

I won't pay $200 for 1K of 9mm when it's $155 lots of places!

This.


President Trump is merely a speed bump in the grand scheme of events.

He's the hero in an action movie that stays behind facing certain doom to cover everyone while they escape the approaching onslaught.

He's doing all he can but he's merely buying us time.

I fear the outcome is inevitable. I'm just not sure if it is 5 years or 25 years so to speak.

 

[C3D]

15 months ago. Who stocked up in the last year?

 

[Vapor]

It's a trap!

 

[Podmonkey]

I have been able to mantain a relatively adequate SHTF stock of ammo but I have never been able to build up much of a range stash cause I always shoot what I have right away. If things get ugly, which I don't think it will, I'd be alright. Plenty of food and water, moved to a much quieter neighborhood, met one of my neighbors what is flying a couple Trump signs, area seems solid when it comes to defense, lot of like minded people in my unit.

 

[Vapor]

I don't have as much as I'd like, but I have a lot more than some people.

That's where most of us are I suspect. A months worth of food and water is adequate and for ammo, realistically any amount beyond what you could conceivably carry is actually just unnecessary gravy.
A 500-1000 round case of whatever you use for SD is more than enough. Shooting ammo though....... If I filled the place to the rafters it still wouldn't be enough.

I just saw two future bucket list items for me.

A 13,000 round barrel of 5.56.

A 100 pack case of pmags.


Maybe someday...
