Reality Check - flb-78

You have confused a capitalist with a self seving horses rear end. What goes around comes around, and it will come around.

Old Gringo, you hit the nail square smack dead center on the head. Thank You!

Haven't been to a gun show in a while, but attended The Real Gun Show at the Pasadena Convetion Center this weekend. What ammo there was, was outragously priced. A buck a piece for 45 target stuff is insane. These people are shamefull profiteers no different that someone who jacks up the prioce of plywood just before a hurricane. I fantasy hoped (means not really) some of them got flooded out and all their stuff ruined on the way home from the show. The price of almost all firearms was also up significantly. I noticed that Glock magazines that you could pick just about anywhere for $19 were $29, or more, at most tables. That is a 50% increase on the mere possibility that some type of assualt weapons ban may be put in place some time in teh future. I hate to see what would happen if congress actually presented such legislation to the annointed one. I am starting to that some democrats, Omama and Pelosi included don't want a new assualt weapons ban. Some of the statements they have made of late, lead me to believe that are starting to understand what kind of damage it did to their party in the past. Either way, I think we may see a rubber band effect, in that sooner or later peopele will either run out of money to purchase all of this stuff, or will have acquired what they think is a sufficient supply, at about the same time all of these back orders catch up with retailers. When that happens, prices should fall back to only a little above what they were and possibly even under. I have heard ALL of the major manufactires have ramped up and that stuff has to go somewhere when the supply line starts backing up. We saw this happen with gasoline within the last 12 months. All of this has made me realize that probably the best firearms purchase I ever made was an Advantage Arms .22 conversion kit for my Glock and one for my 1911. I can still get 550 rounds for under $20 at Wally World.
