How long before we're dealing with the next 'shortage' and are you ready?

I'd do my best to level the playing field and try true equality for a change. Best qualified applicants get the jobs. That means those who work harder than everyone else or have the best talent get the rewards.

Indeed.
Reminds me of an old song- went something like "if I was the president/ I'd be elected on Friday/assassinated on Saturday/buried onSunday".

I'll vote. I mean, when '16 rolls around and it's either CC or HC on the ballot, I'll be picking a random name off the top of my head anyway.... I'll even donate if it gets me a seat at the table... :laugh:

Wyclef Jean... A fantastically liberal Haitian...

I'm set for the future. Plenty of ammo, magazines, spare parts, food, fuel, and TP. That's right, 5 year supply of TP. This is still The United States of America, and I will NOT be wiping my ass with newspapers, pine cones, leaves, or snowballs, like I'm some third world refugee. My God we're still a civilized nation and don't you guys forget it! :lol:

It better be single ply or that's just outright decadence! Now excuse me while I try to find some solar panels for my Phillips Soniccare.

+1 and to add all the people who we say thank for your service to have taken an oath to protect the Constitution yet so few really do.

Knock on wood (hits head with knuckles), we should remain pretty normal on everything until the middle of 2015 when the Presidential Election cycle starts. This is assuming that Obama does not use any executive orders for ANYTHING firearms related.

Like always though, we are one good mass shooting away from full on crazy. So if you only have ten 30rd mags or 1,000rds of 5.56 or ONE AR15, you might want to buy now while prices are extremely low. Then, if something bad happens, you wont have that sinking feeling that you are going to have to wait 12 months for things to normalize again.

Right! I bet that guy curses every time he opens his safe. Same goes for the guy who bought my spare BCM BCG for $510.

I think A1fab is on to something.

Although I started stoking up back in 2008 when it looked as if Obama was going to win...by now..you have had PLENTY of warnings. If you are not stocked up or at least filling in a few blanks in your supplies....you deserve to pay 30 dollars a box for 9mm and 3 grand for an AR in the next shortage.

Stocking up SHOULD be an ongoing process if you ask me. Something you are constantly in the process of doing. Looking for holes in your collection and ammo shelves and slowly adding to your stash. It becomes a part of your routine like grocery shopping or buying new clothes now and then.

But what kind of investment tool yields a return of close to 100% in less than 2 years with a zero chance of original investment losing value? Any market player would drool over these numbers.
Lessons learned in the past...
Only thing giving me pause is that by now one would think anyone needing anything has gotten theirs - the next one won't be as extreme in inventories going empty.

Buy a few lowers and lpk's now while they are cheap. The wife will thank you later.

Or buy some without her knowing. Seriously, a $50 lower every month couldn't hurt...

I remember the time it took 10 YEARS for things to normalize again. When the day comes that we get a renewal of the domestic assault weapons ban it won't have an expiration date and a lot of the young guys will have no idea what they are in for.

Hopefully with things like the internet (which we didn't really have before the Clinton Ban of 1994) we might be able to prevent that from happening, but we came damn close in 2004 and if a Republican majority Congress can pass it as an amendment to a pro gun bill then anything can happen.
