Hello,
So, I should get in line with the rest of the heard headed too the edge of the cliff(economic failure and high taxes). Just Because, everyone else is doing/taking it(stimulus checks). Nope, not for me....
Yet, I understand what your saying. But, I don't need it. I haven't stopped working or had a slow down in my work load(I'm a lucky one?) because of this wuhan virus crap/control trip they have.( Do as I say, not as I do, BS.) Yes, the virus is real, a lot people are dying and I don't want too be one of those.
But No, I can pay for my own bills, overhead and food. I don't need a food bank for survival. Nor, their check to pay my bills. They can give it to the people, that really "NEED IT", I don't "need" it. Get what I'm saying... There's many that don't "need it". It's just extra income/money to spend wildly on their wants and desires.
But, I do agree with you on how stupid this firearms and ammo run is "this time". Say you have 3,000 rds of 7.62 nato already, what do you need another 800rds. for? Do you really think you can sustain a firefight for that long?, and come out alive. You're dreaming boys, this isn't hollywood . It's "fear" that's running this show. The fear of never being able to get it again.... JMO
And, yes. The price Max had 7.62x51 Nato ammo at, was a real bargain for what others have .308 win. for sale, for. That's why I said in my original reply was "I'd jump on it" if, I needed it. But, again I don't need it. I've been investing in lead for the last ten+ years... I have no fear of running out. And if so, I have other options for self defense. That's what I'm saying.
Only thing I regret is, I should have drop 100-200k on primers in March of last year when this run started... Only if I had known, how stupid people were going too get. Yes, Gun broker would be my venue/storefront, fuck the unprepared. Yet, if my neighbour needed something for self defense, I'd "give" him a rifle and some ammo. But, I'd have to really trust them... which, I don't trust many people, mostly when emotions are running the show.
That's all I have to say on the subject. Excuse me, if I went off topic..... But, that's how I stand, on my own two feet. I know, I'm not like many others.
Now, let the BBQ begin...
I'm ready for the show.
