ammo going up

[Trooper110]

I hear they are currently lobbying to pass a bill that will require ALL gang members be required to take and pass a firearms preparedness program so that they do not accidentally kill innocent bystanders while on rival turf or protecting their own.

This class will also teach them how to aim the gun with the fixed sights instead of pointing their finger down the side of the gun and using their index finger as an aiming device while tilting the gun sideways.

All gang members who have taken the course will be required to be licensed in the form of a tattoo stating that they have passed the course.

Doing this will prevent future rising prices of ammunition due to missed shots, as well as minimize hospital bills for the innocent injured or killed.

On the downside to this new requirement, this will unfortunately drive up the pricing of personal body armor and black market firearms to make up for the taxes spent on the course.

Just kidding.

I?m sure crime guns are mostly stolen, but ammo too? Interesting. I would of thought that ammo is much easier to get your hands on that the gun. But I don?t live down there, nor do I hunt, so I don?t really know.

EDIT
I have no real issues with recreational hunting. I see no point in just shooting to shoot though. We have killed off most of the natural predators to the prey, and to help control the population, controlled recreational hunting is fine. Use the meat, etc etc. Same as clubbing seals.

But shooting for recreation is akin (to me) to driving an SUV. Not something that is necessary, something that can be a danger to others, so if you want to partake, then you pay a higher fee for it.

Meh, just my Canadian bacon opinion.

It has more to do with our second amendment then it does hunting or recreational shooting. It also doesn't matter weather you, or anybody else sees the point in it. There have been attempts to make ammo harder to get as a back door way of limiting gun ownership. In think case I do think that it's a simple case of supply and demand. You gotta love the free market.

I thought you were serious at first. It's no more absurd than the bill passed in Texas recently requiring a criminal to inform his victim that he will be commiting a crime against said victim in advance.

Oh jesus. I'm sure the criminals are really adhering to that law.

That's just about as good as trying to rob a police station.

Re: ammo going up

I have been looking around to my Supplers and their telling me.that ammo of all calibers is going throuh the roof,3006 is a 1 dollar a rd for hunting ammo,243,270,223,308,all going up,your handgun ammo is also going up,I just dont know why,now the Military uses 223,308,6.8,40,50BMG,some 9mm an 45cal.But that all about they used,A guy I know has contacts with fed.an Lakecity He tells me,They are working 7 days week 24 hrs a day to stay in demand.and their still behind,I had to give up my 300yrd.egg shoot,Because I couldnt afford the 223,or 308.that I used it breaks my Heart.If you think that is bad try this,450 BUSHMASTER or 500 Smith&WESSON,Hope you got a big pay check,That will run you about,50 dollars for 20rds.each.The 7Mag.300mag.45-70cal.out of site.22cal.which was 12 dollars for 500rds.is going up.now its in about 6months,it will be going up 32 dollars for 500rds.I guess we all will have to give up the things that we love.unless yur rich...................THY............CLRmoe...... .

price goes up because of the war. The projectiles/bulletts are mostly made of the same items, so more of said items are being used to make military grade ammo, which means there is less to use for civ grade ammo.

We are having a shortage at my station. We don't get to practice as much because the military gets the .223 first. We are also running short on .40. probably because all the brass and copper jacketing is going to .223 and .308 for the military.

Are you speaking from experience or...?

[Apache Warrior]

Actually I use a BO and a JO. They are a six foot staff and a 4 foot staff.. But, it takes training and skill to use. Most people think they know how to use a baseball bat.
I also like my Katana.

I didn't think about that.

Tails and I got to learn the first Bo staff form when we took our marital arts class. But, since our classes didn't exactly focus on the weapons, we didn't progress further than the first form. They're tons of fun to use, though.

exactly.

The Bo was always one of my favorite weapons. To be able to use it though you have to practice partner drills and use a striking form. It is all about leverage. Up close though a Jo will beat a Bo every time.
