While I agree with to totality of your post, don’t be too harsh on everyone on SSDI. Some of us earned it. Thirty-five years of “Kickin’ in doors and fallin’ thru floors” (FF/EMT). Made 3 ‘express trips’ from 1st floor to basements/crawl spaces that have completely destroyed my left hip and knee.

There are people that do deserve it. Not disputing that at all. Sorry, that it happened to you.

That bunch sure didn't have a disability for jumping up and grabbing boxes off the shelf though when the clerk was putting it out. Being >400# and munching on a Big Mac at 0700 at a Wal-Mart counter isn't the best lifestyle and lithely saying that their disability was ADHD and bipolar... ¿What? ¿Really? ¿REALLY? Nope, you're just a L A Z Y <redacted/> that is abusing the system and stealing money that should go to people that actually are disabled. I had to leave or I'd jack slapped that pig smooth off that mobility scooter. My back that morning felt like someone had struck a match down it from lifting all those bariatric patients at the hospital the previous 3 days<worked the 'Baylor plan' of three 12 hour shifts Friday, Saturday, & Sunday>; plus, bilateral little and ring fingers were numb all the way to the elbows due to the vertebral damage from lifting fat asses like him. And he was the one 'disabled'.
Oh, I was mad.

The local Walmart carries a pretty good selection of muzzleloader supplies …including #11 caps!! I managed to pick a couple of tins last summer. Suddenly, about the first of September, the supply dried up. Ask the guy at the counter what happened. He said they had a two tin limit on them for a long time and somebody raised Hell about that and they took it off. Now, they have some azzhat who time the trucks and buys their whole supply before they even stock the shelves. Same guy every time.

Ya’ picks your poison!

When I was a kid there was a phone tree at school. If school closed early staff would call 2 parents in each grade and they called 2 who called 2, etc until all parents notified. Locally this exists in the form of a Walmart Ammo Text Tree. When ammo shows up (the stocking occurs at nite) and the tree is triggered. There are 40-50 members of this group text and they descend upon Wally and before an hour is up the ammo is ALL gone. Whether they need it or not...then they trade/barter.
As for ML supplies ... forget it -- no support and no supplies

This guy though, had them stacked to the ceiling in his house. Bottled water, MRE's, batteries, Coleman fuel, etc. Don't get me wrong, it's smart to be prepared but he really took it to the extreme. Like I said, he's probably still using that stuff up or ended up throwing it away.

The city manager, in our little burg, was a Y2K Nazi. He “knew” that Armageddon, the Zombie Apocalypse and Mayan End of Days, were all going to occur simultaneously at the stroke of midnight 2000. He browbeat the city council into buying military electrical generators the size of semi trailers, semi tank trailers full of gasoline, night vision googles, full auto weapons and body armor for the cops, Truckloads of MRE’s, etc, etc. Our little town of 25k people made the news on all the major networks.

I don’t know what ever happened to that stuff either. Someday, someone will probably find a secret passageway under city hall that leads to a Doomsday cavern full of MRE’s and belts of ammo…

thank the anal orifice neck beards for this
those feces birds would sit in their mobility scooters while on SSI disability and buy up all the .22LR ammo then resell for X10 the price
if one of them falls out in front me, I may not remember in a covid mind fog moment how to do CPR
yeah, massive hoarders / online resellers are to blame, the store do that to maximum the number of the customers that get at least some of product X to enjoy their 2A rights
after the .22LR crunch was over, saw one was offering a literal pallet of .22LR for sale and whining about having to sell for less than he bought it for; just cry me a river you son of a dog
and I really cannot blame them

That was an asinine statement. Period!

If you are caught short handed on ammo, powder, caps, etc,.....that's on you!! If you didn't have the foresight to see that when a certain Party that hatheir only agenda as being to take your guns, and everything related to it, it's on you!! But here you sit, blaming others, calling them dispicable names, for your own failures to open your eyes, to the S@#T STORM COMING DOWN THE PIKE.

I laugh at guys like this. If things get that bad, he'll just get taken out by a drone strike or police robotic device, or some farmer with a .30-30 will shoot him for trespassing.

I had a neighbor who was convinced that all was going to collapse during the Y2K scare. He is probably still eating MRE's and Vienna Sausages....

seems like a bunch of primitive goat herders in afghan did pretty good against all the US threw at them

no it wasnt it was the truth and you know it. boomer hoarders get real mad when exposed

no party ever took guns. all the shortages are caused by paranoid insatiable hoarding gun owners who are their own worst enemies

I went to the local grocery today for a can of butter beans for a recipe. None. Now there were plenty of other canned beans. I had to check another store and found some. I find this more and more with major regional and national stores. I suspect with computers tracking all sales, the bean counters ( pun intended) have them simply quit carrying things that don’t churn.

 

[mushka]

Last time I went to the store there was plenty of everything. Cost a little more on some items. Eggs were the most expensive of the raised price stuff, but they had them. I think the local supply chain here is better than at a lot of places. Wal Mart full of stuff. Albertsons full of stuff. Frys full of stuff. Sams Club also full of stuff. Seems to be little of shortage here in Yuma. I always get what I'm shopping for.

Dunham's doesn't gaf what you buy or how much

I swept their shelves of Pyrodex P and Select this summer and took 4 or 5 cans of P and 2 of Select. Also just bought 3 cans of 777 2F a few days ago. I burn all of it so I'm not "hoarding " but still , my $$ is green and if I want every can of BP sub the cashier will ring me out while he's flirting with the cashier next to him, not a care in the world.......let me grab 8 tins of CCI #11 too. No one at that store has ever cared. They did have a limit on caps very briefly but I highly , highly doubt the kids at the registers are worried about enforcing a cap policy

Seems to be a great store, but, they don't ship powder, percussion caps....

They're website looks like it still runs on Windows 95 tech.....

They don't ship, they're just a small chain of sporting goods stores that sell guns and ammo , and they always seem to have something close to what you need to shoot your guns. Whenever I go in they have restocked the 777 I have usually bought them out of, and hunting season is over so no one else is buying 777. Anyone looking for ammo in there is probably looking for 2 boxes of .223 , not 777

We have met the enemy, and he is Us

The Govt has nothing to do with why there wasn't a single round of .22 or .223 , or a pound of Black Powder in stock anywhere for years. It was the Fudds out there sweeping the shelves . I seem to recall hearing that there was actually a physical alteration at my local Walmart over ammunition back in 2019......I'm like the Fudds are in WalMart throwing hands over the last box of 9mm

I laugh at these guys too. Takes one good hit and somebody else has all their guns and ammo. My farm boss years ago was raising hell about the price of diesel fuel. He said when it gets to 50 cents a gal., the whole country was gonna shut down. I should have sold the whole ranch and reinvested the whole thing in nothing but diesel fuel. I'd be rubbing shoulders with Elon Musk now.

I have bricks of .22 hidden all over my house so well even I probably won't easily find it......and other "necessary "ammo like 00 Buck .

Muzzleloading supplies are hobby stuff, if I run out of caps, black powder or Minie balls I'm not going to panic. I went 2 years without touching any of my muzzleloading guns and hardly fired a round through any of my guns. I just took a step back because I got too nutty about supplies and I needed to focus on other things I got really fit and did a lot of running though. Keep things clear in your mind and don't blindly buy stuff "just because "

The old man with a rusty Hi Standard .22 revolver with green crusty rounds in it will cap one of these TactiFudd BroVets and take his $5,000 AR while he's out "doing recon " on someone's property

That is perfectly correct....they just ban them....and continue to do so....

There ya go. That running practice may come in handy....

I'm not sure it even takes extreme hoarders to keep stuff off of the shelves. On top of the caps in my cappers I have six extra tins of caps. I'm sure some would consider that a paltry supply but for the amount that I shoot that's a lot. Before, when caps were always available I rarely had more than one or two extra tins. Now I catch myself checking for caps whenever I'm in a store that normally stocks them even though I have plenty. Whenever we buy stuff when we see it instead of buying it when we need it there's going to be shortages.....now I just need to do my part: in the unlikely event that I do see caps in stock I need to grit my teeth and just walk away.

They laugh at you now...they cry later.
I live in a wilderness area of the mountains. I have a pantry, freezer, etc. that is always stocked. If a snow storm, or some other disaster hits, we're prepared. We don't go around crying why there isn't something here or there that used to be.
When yiu see a storm coming, you don't know the severity, so, you either prepare or suffer the consequences. They can make fun of veterans...they have never walked in their shoes!

 

[COTNTOP]

I ain't scared but I do see the need to be prepared. The wife and I went grocery shopping last Sunday and almost got trampled by illegals hoarding groceries. We pressure can produce and meat, have laying hens and put up dry goods for long term. Reloading supplies have been in stock at the house for several decades. Running a little short on percussion caps because of my generosity before the shortage. If I had been into BP as long as unmentionables I would not be low on caps and definitely would not need Cabelas.
