Does anyone here buy gasoline???
Yes, prices are going up. China is buying lots more petroleum -- and metals too, hence ammo pricers going up.
We're all of us hurting out here -- and it ain't just bullets costing too much.

You guys keep buying chinese products and your ammo will go out of sight. The Chinese are buying our raw materials (copper etc) and selling us back products. The prices are going to be what they want to charge cause we have given them manufacturing of our goods.

It's not just China, there's a lot of factors causing price increases in everything. Do the research, don't just blame a society you don't like.
The majority of Chinese and Indians have been peasants forever, you don't think they have the right to running water, toilets and refrigerators too?
Put the blame where it belongs, on our stupid government and politicians.

The Democrats and their Congress are responsible. They have done nothing to stop the increases in oil prices and have blocked drilling for decades. The same is true for ammo and many other items. We are in deep do-do with guns and ammo if Nobamo wins this election.

One of the main reasons for the price increases in everything is the value of the dollar. It is sinking like a rock and our Government does not care,they just print and spend more which keeps the dollar sinking even farther.

So what is $!9.95? 19.95?
at the local wally world, .38 special is now the same price as .45acp per hundred...29.99. .38 used to be on par with .40sw...now its more. I'm really looking into getting my reloader set up for .38 since its easy to keep brass (don't have to pick it off the floor)
Oh please....
yep.. "stagflation is gonna be with us for a while, get used to it.
We are sending Billions of dollars in merchandise to Iraq and Afghanistan, that money will never come back. And we are borrowing to do so, so we pay interest as well. The wars are the biggest waste of money in most of the forum members lives. Too bad their grand children get stuck with the bill.
Actualy our government is not to blame to the extent you would like.
The truth is, just like you note, much of the world that used to just be a source for raw materials because the people in those places had little use for them themselves are now becoming major consumers.
For almost 100 years the United States has been the primary consumer of resources in the world with a little competition from Europe and Russia.
That is all changing now, and third and second world nations are mirroring our lifestyles and becoming major consumers themselves.
Places that once had little use for thier own resources and were major sources for us now want not only many of thier own resources but other resources as well.
Our local economic issues are only a minor part of it.
Things will continue in this direction and many of the current nations that have the best quality of life will find thier average quality of life decrease significantly as thier is a lot more demand for once cheap abundant resources taken for granted.
Good economic decisions can slow that, but they cannot stop it. Quality of life is going to drop, and continue to drop for years to come, while it raises for places it was once very low.
There will be periods of slower drop in quality of life (the ups) and periods of faster drop in the quality of life (the downs) in the roller coaster ride for decades to come, but the general direction will be down for us.
You are simply seeing more world equality
the results of modernizing those poor third world nations.countertop

Let me offer a counter perspective - the best thing this country has going for it right now is the value of the dollar. It means, notwithstanding the Democrats desire to send all our jobs overseas, we are actually able to compete in world markets.
A cheap US dollar means foreigners can afford to buy our goods and services . . . and dare I say, without customers most of us would be without jobs (which would make this forthcoming recession really scary).
Sort of tough to blame Democrats for this one. Sure, the roots of it clearly date back to the shenanigans Clinton allowed to happen during his adminsitration (to get the economy rocking) but then, of course, the Republicans are the ones who have flitered away all of our prosperity. Democratic majority isn't real keen and doing anything to fix the situation, but its the result of complete Republican rule for 8 years that things are as bad as they are.
We need to concentrate on throwing out every single Republican (or getting the current ones to step down and allow new uncorrupted blood to run) so that in 2 years we can return with a clean slate of Republican candidates who actually believe in what they are campaigning on.

GREAT POST-!!!

I agree-IF we had drilled for oil years ago and passed laws against exporting it and other raw materials --AND hammered the enviro NUTS into the ground .WE the USA would be king of the hill as to living standards -
We should Open -Or RE-open all our Metals Mines , Dig all the coal we can get Rebuild our stel industriy [sans Overpaid unions] and Put this country back on the road to economic recovery!
As a kid growing up in the 60s I can remember all kinds of manufacturing Jobs Almost all of them driven out By enviro protection Laws[try opening a crome plating or Magnesiun casting plant in the USA-Hint ---It aing gonna happen ever again !
Soon you will not be able to buy American Made ammo anymore =!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"WWB at Walmart up again....Is there an end?"
Don't really know about that. I'm 67, been buying ammo since about '54 and it's been going up ever since then.
Maybe the prices on things are going to level off when Obammy takes over with an increased Demmy control of both houses in DC and they can increase taxes. Only on the "rich", of course, just as they always promise. And then redistribute all that wealth properly. Maybe THEN we'll have plenty of everything and someone else will pay for it all. Maybe. ???
Well, yeah, Pelosi "promised" to lower gasoline prices last election, when it was running about $3 a gallon. But I guess those silly ol' Republicans spoiled her plan. Just can't seem to remember what her plan was, but surely she had one and simply couldn't get "by-partisan" support or things would be great now. But just wait until they get full control of all elements of political power, then things will surely get set straight, and pretty quickly too!
Meanwhile, who can really afford ammo after paying for the fuel to go to mean ol' WallyWorld, the working man's enemy store?

Sooner or later you will figure out that you have to support your own borders, language and culture to survive. The other countries may seek material wealth but their ideas of freedom are different than those in America. Take care of your own or it will soon dissapear.
How many Chinese or Indian peasants own a gun?? By buying their goods you give their government more power to inflict more gun control around the world. Buy foriegn goods and you give up your gun rights at the same time, even if you don't realize it.

HK91-762mm, I couldn't have put it better myself! You nailed it right on the head. I'd like to know when "we the people" are gonna finally say- "HEY, Democrat ENVIRO-WACKOS, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!-Drill for our resources and do It NOW!
Good God, are people ever going to stop being brainwashed by the GOP? Yeah, the Democrats are responcible for 8 years of oil men bankrupting this nation and making the world laugh at our ignorance. Greed and arrogance of conservitives is bleeding every last dime of the middle and lower class so the greeding can keep using the FED as an ATM. Wake up. There is not a enough oil in all of the US to have any effect on the current oil situation. Saddly Reagan gutted the Carter plan for energy independence by the year 2000. Every forward looking Idea to better this nation is attacked by conservitives for short term greed and foolish ideology.
