[QUOTE=mrerick;229269]A massive industry movement is starting. I received this note today:

Cheaper Than Dirt Supports Citizens' 2nd Amendment Rights

Recently companies such as LaRue Tactical and Olympic Arms announced they will no longer sell prohibited items to government agencies and personnel in states denying civilians to own those same items. It has been and will continue to be Cheaper Than Dirt's policy not to sell prohibited items to government agencies and agents in states, counties, cities and municipalities that have enacted restrictive gun control laws against their citizens. We support and encourage other companies that share in this sentiment.

Marc,

CTD is trying desperately hard to try and recover customers after they initially folded to Obama and announced that they would no longer be selling firearms.....yes, they had announced it on their website. There was a firestorm over this on at least a couple of forums that I attend, and a ton of emails to CTD to have their names removed from their catalog list, plus other statements. Within 4-5 days, CTD made a retraction on their website, and is NOW back in the firearms/ammo business. I don't think they expected the response that they received. A great number of customers are very unhappy with their "panic pricing" also.......My way of thinking on that is if you don't like the prices, don't buy it!!

what i am saying is , if the reasonable priced ar's are not selling and amunition is arriving in quanity everyday, supply is reaching demand at least here and sooner or later it will do it most everywhere. Panic buying has caused this and sooner or later it will cease.

Stopped by the local Walmart on Thursday, Feb. 14. No .22lr, .38, 9mm, .40, .45, .223, 5.56. Only some hunting type rifle and shotgun ammo. Still panic buying here I guess.

But I've been a "thrifty ant" for years, no shortage here.

Going to Walmart was just the thing for Valentine's Day.

Reloading supplies have also become scarce. Powder and primers are unavailable locally and almost all powder and primers on the Midway website are listed as "out-of-stock, no backorder." If this keeps up I will be forced to cut down on shooting in several months. The problem with hoarding is that it inspires more hoarding. When reloading supplies do become available I am likely to purchase larger quantities.

The funny thing about it is that some people are acting like the world is coming to an end, buying everything they see without thinking. I have seen several private ads for bulk pack .223 at about $1/ea, while the local store still has Hornady V-Max on the shelf for $22/20 rounds. This is actually only a few cents more than I paid a year ago, but it's still sitting there. It kind of made me laugh thinking about all the suckers paying through the nose for low end plinker ammo, when you can have the good stuff for about the same price.

Well, my grandmother who raised me for a number of years taught me that the early bird gets the worm. Then you have the more recent story of the ant and the grasshopper.

When I turned 15, I gave up my part time job and acquired another one which I would work 40 to 48 hour a week in addition to going to school. If I had not worked, I would not have been able to go to college. Worked the same hours during college.

Even later (70s) I rode with my brothers-in-law when they went down to Perry County (Ky.) to haul coal. Good money. It paid well. The only downside was that we had to cross UMW picket lines.

Now people expect everything to be given to them.
