First off, what the frak is a "FUD"?
How exactly am i hurting the situation???
>SNIPPERS!<
festus - I'm still relatively new here, but from what I've seen thus far,
you aren't hurting the forums much at all. Your posts tend to be rational, respectful - if not outright friendly - and thought provoking. Even when I've ready some of your posts where you're not entirely friendly, you still tend to be more in a mode for discussion than just outright disrespecting the opinions of others.
iceman's, on the other hand, tend to be inflaming, trolling and just ouright argumentative w/o providing much substance beyond reactionary attitude.
Just sayin'....
If there's a way to put someone on IGNORE at this forum, I'd recommend it in this case. I'm considering it.
UNTIL THEN...BUY ALL THE AMMO YOU CAN. IT IS A PRECIOUS METAL THAT WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE. IT BOLSTERS THE ECONOMY. IT ALSO TERRIFIES THE GOVT'. THESE 3 REASONS ALONE ARE ENOUGH TO AKE ME WANT ALL I CAN GET AND THEN SOME.
I'll definitely go w/the first two, but sorta laugh at the last reason. Sorry, a couple of people w/a few thousand rounds of ammo isn't going to scare the gov't much, tho a couple dozen whack-jobs in some compound w/several
million rounds does. Even if you take all the Joe Average Gun Owners out there "hording" (sic) a couple thousand rounds per firearm, they still don't worry Uncle Sugar nearly so much as a coiuple groups of Survivalists or Religious Extremists do. The vast majority of legal gun owners in this country aren't out to cause trouble, just safeguard themselves against BG's. Some few might be stockpiling ammunition in the event that some sort of gov't crackdown might ensue - and that's fine if that's what they want to do.
As has been said here many times on many issues, you've got the God given Right in this country to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't encroach upon the Rights or Safety of our fellow Americans. Anything said against that from folks just comes across as sour grapes to me.
So, I'll echo
festus' comment -
hoard all the ammo you want! I've got almost 1,000 rounds of .40 ammo right now, as I've found a few good deals and bought it as more of a long-term cost-saving measure than anything. I might just well go out and buy another couple hundred rounds
just because I can. But then again, we never know when you might want/need that much ammo, right? :wink:
When the Zombie Apocalypse descends upon us, you'll be happy that you did! :sarcastic: :biggrin:
