Warning: Magazines are scarce - everyone is buying

[Auburn1992]

I can garuntee that 99% of the users on here didn't vote for Obama...

Could you, perhaps, point me to a thread, even a post, that shows obama support??

Where have you seen support for BHO on this site?

I, for one, have not seen one bit of support.

Auburn, there has been some here.

I won't call names, but I've noticed it. If you search the posts of some persons on this thread, you may see a post or two from at least one person here that states they they are both supporting and voting for Obama.

But granted, it isn't nearly a majority.

Your gonna have to do the work and find it yourself, I got no time to waste. It's been there all the time, you missed it. Even now in threads today people are downplaying what the guy is going to do that they voted for.

Here's a little from a quick search. I removed names on this post:

I can't believe the paranoia some people have about Mr. Obama. The exaggeration, lies and racial hate. He is an intelligent man who I feel will be the best man for the job. I am pro gun rights and I am voting for Obama.

I wasn't willing to trade all my other rights for the promise that the existing clown wouldn't screw with my guns. I'm still not!....


Guns alone are no longer enough of a reason to vote for a candidate over another after the calamity of the past eight.

That's all the work I'll do for free on a Saturday afternoon.

44mag has many 20 rn mags left, they are out of stock on certain 30 rn mags.
Whether you think the hype is justified or not, go buy! Prices aren't astronomical, and as long as we keep buying the manufactuers will keep their factories producing at a fast clip. And then there will be a whole bunch more AR's and AR mags in circulation. We are supporting the gun industry, we are supporting US industry.

Keep writing letters to your officials. Call them. It does make a difference, however small.

Don't know what you nay-sayers are talking about. I just bought a S&W M&P15a today. I went Ft. Thompson and they said they had three left so I went to Gander Mountain to check prices. Didn't like it so I went back to Ft. Thompson 45 minutes later and I bought the last one and THE PRICE WENT UP 65 DOLLARS IN THAT TIME. And just try to find a MagPul pmag online, anywhere, just try. If you do, pm me, cause we wants them precious!!

What is with some of you guys and Magazines? Like you will ever be in a situation where you will need to reload a pistol 10 times. If you would ever be in some mad max situation where you will need 20 mags. you are not going to survive anyway.

 

[cornman]

I did. I do not see myself ever voting republican again after the last 8 years.

Guess you've never heard of the concept of things breaking, huh?


Replacement parts are precious when you can't get them.

I KNOW. I've got a few split Glock 19 magazines that paid $125 each for back in 1994.

I don't ever plan on being in a situation like that. But I do plan on shooting for another 40 years or so. Magazines wear out and semi-autos are a pain to shoot without magazines.

I have a lot of magazines because I think there's a good chance that what I've got will have to last the rest of my life, not because I'm expecting to get into some crazy tactical scenario requiring double-digit reloads.

i bought 10 pmags and 10 aluminum mags a little over a year ago. as of a month ago, i am down to 8 and 7 respectively due to breakage. if i break 5/year in classes, matches and plinking, how many mags would you suggest a 37yo buy if he wants to shoot actively at least 30 more years? and maybe pass some on to children and friends?

breakdowns are always going to be a part of having magazines. it is best to have plenty of spares to make sure that you can fix the ones that break. it won't do any good to have weapons if you can not use them. don't think for a minute that if they try to take away some of the mags and guns that we enjoy that they will not take away our ability to fix things that break. they might not have to do any of that though. the easiest way to stop people from shooting or stocking up on bullets and stuff is to just ban the imported stuff. that alone would drive up the prices of everything else to where the average person could not afford to do what they enjoy.

I used to shoot IPSC with my Ruger P85. In two years I broke 3 magazines. I still have them in a baggie somewhere.

When you actually shoot a fair amount, things break.

If I want to shoot at that pace for another 30 years or so, I will break 45 magazines in that time. If I can't get them then, I will have to get them now.

 

[JWarren]

Notice how there is no response to the answers we gave about magazine breakage?

Not even an "ahh... I understand."

Get used to it.

I have yet to break a steel combloc AK mag. Maybe I can get by with some springs and a dent puller.

I kid, I kid, but there is no doubt AR fans are in a tizzy. last Monday there were new black rifles all over town, but by Friday there were only used ones of questionable pedigree, mysteriously all selling at a premium and with no mag listed on the ticket.

For the first time since the AWB, a Ruger Ranch rifle is sounding good to me.

 

[JWarren]

My point being that as soon as a logical, rational answer is given to their questions, Obama's supporters quietly tip-toe away with their fingers in thier ears while saying "la-la-la-la-la-la-la!"


Get used to it. :/

Buy as much as you can afford.
Buy and buy and buy and buy!
Keep our firearms industry/weapons industry in business.
Show them we will not be cowed and show them we support the firearms industry.
The only investment I have that has NOT lost cash is guns.

Well I had a good one last week. A gentleman came into the store with his wife or girlfriend. He was a slightly built gent with a long ponytail and sporting a "Veteran For Obama" button. So far so good, then he told me that he was shopping for a black rifle, because as he claimed, "no matter who gets in we won't be able to own these after January". I tried to ignore the campaign button as we chatted about the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I thought that I was talking to an NRA lifer. Long story short, he couldn't purchase any of his choices because he was from the People's Republic of Massachusetts and all of his dream guns had too many of the prohibited features. I'm quite sure that the same libs he keeps voting for in Mass are the same ones that are standing between him and his dream guns.

If you thumb through some of these boards I'm quite sure you will find postings from Polyannas who will urge us to suspend belief, because their chosen candidate would never do anything to infringe on our rights. These people, like my "Veterans For Obama" friend are too intellectually lazy to do their homework on their candidate's past voting records, statements, endorsements, or affiliations. I hope they are satisfied when the closest you will get to owning a firearm will be a video game controller.
