Ammo, how are you doing it? Still Rushing to buy?

I’ve been shooting mostly Muzzle Loader getting ready for Hunting season, so I really haven’t used up any ammo. . . . Don’t feel real inclined to buy any unless a see a super deal (Almost back to 2018 price) :smirk:

I reload. It amazes me how I can go to the range early in the morning and pick up a couple hundred buck worth of brass. Guys just leaving it behind. Oh well, one mans trash is another mans treasure. I don’t even pick up 9mm anymore unless my son wants some, I have plenty of .223 also but always looking for .45 . Been thinking of starting to reload for my x39, Might be a bit late so I should find some brass before there’s a run on brass x39 and there won’t be any left. The hard part is finding primers.

Most of my practice is dryfiring. When I go to the range I try to maximize my practice and do drills but most of the practice is dryfire.

Earlier this year " The Biden administration decided to waive sanctions against the company overseeing the construction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Germany, despite bipartisan opposition in Congress and appeals from Eastern European governments. "

Yet yesterday: The Biden Administration announced on Friday it would stop approving new permits to import Russian-made ammo and guns. The ban will go into effect on September 7th, 2021. It is part of a new round of sanctions against the Russian government over its poisoning and imprisoning of dissident Aleksey Navalny.

Alexei Navalny was poisoned in Aug. 2020 (9 months Before the pipeline waiver ) so the Russians are good enough guys in May 2021 to get a pipeline waver, but 3 months later they are so evil they get no new ammo or firearm importation permits?

This is a Blatant attack on the ability of gun owners to obtain ammunition and firearms in what is already a year long ammo/firearm shortage.

The Biden Administration has attacked the ownership of guns through the ATF by mudding the water as to what is/isn’t lawful to own, and now is using a year old incident as a ruse de guerre to get away with denying Americans access to the tens of millions of rounds of inexpensive ammunition produced by workers in Russia every year.

i’ve not purchased ammo since before the covid pandemic started. I’d had stocked up…
@seanGadhar you are right about what you wrote about the biden admin. Not to mention they just left all that US equipment and Arms in Afghanistan, for the Taliban… when i cant own a full auto anything without spending 25k-50k, they get the stuff for free… on my tax dimes… grrr.

They left 600,000 rifles and a unknown number of pistols. I am not even going into the number of other machine guns and crew served weapons that were left. Those SOB impeach Trump over made up bullshit but Biden gets a pass no matter how bad he screws crap up. What really gets me going is there is only a handful of Republicans that are really outspoken on Bidens disasters. You now have the perfect storm for terrorists with plenty of weapons and a open southern border to really inflict some damage here in the US.

Careful how you speak of the Biden Administration Sir. That kind of talk can get you banned in some social media circles. For instance, the Grand Ayatollah of Iran can chat away on social media but not a for a former POTUS. Some African warlords can threaten to shut down internet connection to the people in his land and he can chat away BUT a politician has a dissension argument and its Facebook Jail or the Twitter Gulag. Talk of the Biden Administration will have you walking a tightrope. :sweat_smile:

“I sure hope all of you are wearing your mask while you are on here chatting away being disrespectful of our dear leader President “Hair Sniffer” Joe Biden. It better cover up your nose and be below the bottom of your chin as well.” PSA-You should mask up in between bites while eating and mask up in the shower as well. Really, if you believe all this BS do the world a favor go beyond being a mask nazi and stop breathing.

I have never been on Facebook and I never will be. I don’t do social media at all. I belong to a few forums and that is the total extent of my social media. I wouldn’t last a day on Facebook before I would get banned. Too many snowflakes whining about how everything is unfair, how everyone else is racist and how bad our Country sucks. I just couldn’t take it without saying something back so I would be banned for sure.

Yep. I had a Facebook Account and got banned seven times in two years throughout the 2016 Presidential Election cycle. Heaven forbid I should have an opinion that is my own and not agree with the WorldWideWeb. I now have an account on this site and email. That is about the extent of my social media footprint.

the fact that we’ve been saying this for years only increases the possibility that it will happen sooner than later. Im frankly surprised that it hasnt happened yet.

yeah that there kinda chaps my a$$ too… just like the taliban have a twitter account but #45 is still banned… grr.. gonna need high bloodpressure medicine if this keeps up…

And now to make things even worse terrorists don’t even have to come through our southern border. Now we are giving them free airplane rides from Afghanistan to America. Then our tax dollars are giving them another free airplane ride to an unknown city in America. Then we are paying to settle them in a unknown city to us. When you randomly bring in tens of thousands of unvetted Afghani people in to America the likelihood of Taliban and Al qaeda terrorists now being in America is now a certainty. This is absolutely pure insanity.

noooo… Biden says the Afghani refugees will be vetted completely and with the strictest measures. Just like the illegals coming through the southern border. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

If one American citizen doesn’t get out of Afghanistan or if one American citizen is killed in Afghanistan then that dumb SOB should be held criminally and civilly responsible. That won’t ever happen because he has immunity and can’t be charged not to mention being apart of the ruling class elite. This crap gets me so wound up that I am going to have to go up on my blood pressure medication… :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I’m with Rand Paul on this one…

i wish.. if only this were to be possible. its sad it cant be.. and im sure that this is going to happen sadly.. remember this is being orchestrated by the team that brought us bengazi..

and i Definately havent forgotten about Bengazi.

I long ago stopped trusting any politician that has been is office for decades. if their lips are moving they are lying.

You never ever leave anyone behind!!! This is one of the first things that you learn in the military. You take care of your own… Deliberately leaving people behind without even really trying to get them out in the old days would get an Officer or NCO killed by his own men. It is something that you just don’t do. If you do then all the soldiers know that they could very well be the next one that was left behind without regard for them or anyone else.

There is so much to learn, so much that we owe it to those who fought there, those who died there.
1st NEVER again support any use of our Troops where a clear concise end strategy can not be expressed by those in charge.

2nd Remember whatever side you are on politicly, any mess You let “YOUR GUY” get us into. . .expect that “THEIR GUY” will end up with his grubby little fingerprints all over it as well. . . so you better be damn sure we need to be there.

3rd Everyone who begs you to ride in dressed in shinning armor on a white horse today, will loathe the vary sight of you in a just a few month’s time.

No one wears out their welcome faster than the troops of a super power, reminding other countries just how powerful we are compared to them.

…and the historical pendulum swings again. Are we as a species capable of learning from past mistakes? When will the lesson be learn? You cannot coexist with people who want to kill you. As Americans, as a society we have to stop being the “Morally Superior” stop brow beating our allies and to the world. We do not nation build. The world is filled with monsters and we have ours. Let them work.

I hate to say it but as long as the Congress critters can get their political agendas and force it on our Military you never will get a clear and concise strategy with a reasonable exit strategy. POTUS has a lot to do with setting the tone of how our Military is gone to operate. It seems like the Congress critters screw the pooch more on average by their constant meddling in things they don’t understand or don’t want to understand. Operating in free and peaceful country is totally different than operating in a hostile war torn country where everyone wants to kill your ass. Congress critters just can’t grasp the concept that what works at home doesn’t work in a hostile environment. Right now Biden is a prime example of just how bad a long time Congress critter can royally screw things up for our Military. If he would have left our Military alone to do the planning and execution of getting out of Afghanistan we wouldn’t have 40 thousand American citizens left in Afghanistan. Our Military damn sure wouldn’t have left 89 billion dollars of our military hardware over there.
