I read this on a another forum


As an aside, I think you know that the Feds have recently purchased over 2,000,000,000, that’s 2 billion, rounds of ammunition, which they are stockpiling, not for war use. I wonder what the ammo will be used for, and why. They have also purchased 2500 mini tank type trucks that will be used by Homeland Security throughout our country. I wonder what the trucks will be used for, and why. Hmmmmmmmm

9mm Ammunition
You may not know this but George Soros owns most of the ammunition
manufacturing companies and many arms manufacturers as well. He's selling
ONLY to the government right now, per WH & DHS orders. My son works for
ATK, who owns just about all the rest of the ammunition companies that
Soros doesn't own. He tells me that ATK has been ordered by the federal
government to curtail sales of ammunition, primers and powder to the
retail market. What you see currently on the shelves is old stock and
what's left in the warehouses since the CT shootings and new stock will
NOT be appearing anytime soon. ATK and Soros' companies have more than
enough government contracts to keep them going for years to come.

Like, Soros' companies, ATK is a huge defense contractor and they've been told
to sell ONLY to the DOD, TSA, FBI, DHS and local/federal law enforcement
agencies. This is VERY scary and VERY ominous for what's coming down the
pike in the future.

My son has seen the proposed pricing schedule for Federal, CCI, Hornady,
Remington, Winchester and several other ammunition manufacturer's lines of
ammunition, components, reloading equipment (ATK owns Outers, RCBS, Hoppe
and a host of others) and he's flabbergasted! As an example, when the
sales of .22 LR bulk ammo resumes, the pricing will be over $50.00 for a
535-round Value Pak! That's nearly a dime-a-shot!! They're also going to
raise the prices by 300 - 400% on dies, presses, powder measures and the
like.


He's in management there at ATK in Salt Lake City and they're NOT
happy with it at all! They firmly believe this will basically shut-down
the civilian market while leaving the government as the only purchaser of
their products. He saw the government pricing for the centerfire
ammunition they've been stockpiling and their prices have actually dropped
from a year ago so the feds are buying this stuff REAL cheap while we
can't even get our hands on it at all!

Something I've always said since Obummer came onto the scene in 2008 is
that, even if they can't actually ban the weapons themselves, the
government will make it nearly impossible for us civilians to feed them
with ammo, reloading components and the like. The WH doesn't HAVE to
actually ban the guns, as Biden said in one of his many faux pas,
foot-in-the-mouth, Freudian slip speeches he's famous for making.

All we have to do is to make it too expensive to use them and the public will
eventually give them back to us if we offer an attractive price for these
weapons". What's an "attractive price" - a $10.00 Walmart gift card for a
$3,000.00 custom hunting rifle? Those were his EXACT words in one of the
speeches he gave to the freshman congressmen last week! Remember, Biden
was one of the architects of the Clinton gun ban of years ago. I think
he's as dangerous to the Second Amendment as Obozo is, maybe more so,
because he's so brilliant and doesn't know the muzzle of a gun from the
butt..."

Feel free to pass this on so gun owners will be aware of what we're up
against. I doubt the NRA can do anything about it, IMHO. La Pierre can
get on all the talk shows he's invited to and cry the blues about the
assault weapons laws that are forthcoming from the WH but the real crux of
the matter will be whether or not we'll ever be able to purchase
ammunition (at all) or, if we can, what we'll be paying for it.

As an aside, here, I deal a LOT with Midsouth Shooters Supply for my reloading
components. Two weeks ago I ordered 500 cases each of .45 Casull, .44
Magnum, .357 Magnum and 9mm Parabellum. I was told everything I had
ordered was out-of-stock and no in-stock delivery date was being forecast.

They wouldn't even accept a backorder for this stuff! Think the
government isn't manipulating it? Think again, my friend..

Although I think some of the afore mentiond is inaccurate, I do ask what does the governmnet need with all this ammo. They say it is to replenish stock piles worn down by wars of the recent past. They say they need it to use for training and target practice here at American bases. Then that poses the question of why is all this ammo being bought through the Dept. of Homeland Security and other non- military agencies of the goverment, insted opf the Dept. of Defense directly.

The answer is, they are preparring for the coming insurrection and civil uprising against the Governmnet. The ammo they are buying is more than it would to fight a war lasting 25 years, based on what has been used in the past. They are buying so we can't get it. Manufacturers can't keep up with the demand and the Gov. knows it. This is going to go on for the next 10 years, according to the fact these contracts are for the next ten years. Don't look for thing to open up anytime soon.

Just remember when you head to the range, the bullets you shoot at paper targets today, may be irreplaceable tomorrow.

Wars....rumors of wars..........horrible things to come?
I pretty much think , yes.

Actually, the cheapest I can find right now on ammoseek.com for bulk .22LR is 22 cents a round.
Federal 325 rounds for $69.99. Outrageous.

Ammoseek: the other day I got to credit card info on 1000 9mm @ .30/rd and the server choked. Did you hear me scream?
My non political acquaintances (because I can't call them real friends) think I am crazy and a doomsdayer but I tell them; "don't you have insurance?" They go silent after that.

What really erks me is how can I practice and stay sharp conserving ammo? Drawing and dry firing just isn't the same, but close.

three or more is a congress.-- John Adams

I have heard sightmark makes a decent one that is kind of a copy of the eotech. There was one for like $100 I was checking out the other day. I figure I might stay Iron sights for now. My other rifle has a cheap scope on it that holds a zero well though.
