Seriously, I had thought to stock up on 30 round mags to resell if a ban popped up(assuming already existing mags were grandfathered in).

But an angel popped up on my shoulder and tsk tsk'ed the devil on the other shoulder.

5.56mm and 7.62mm are getting mighty scarce too.

When I go to the range, I burn off around 90 7.62 rounds per session. My stock isn't gonna last long if these panicking faggits don't calm the fuck down.

I haven't shot any 7.62 for a while.  I still have a couple cases of Barnaul "Hunting Cartridges" from 5 or 6 years ago when 7.62 was still pretty cheap, plus a bunch of really nice-looking East German stuff that is unfortunately corrosive.

The only 7.62x39 rifle I have is a Yugo M59/66 SKS (the one with the silly grenade launcher on the end that ruins the balance) and I got it unissued so I'm trying to keep it in pristine shape.

I was interested in what the gun-tards were selling/buying right now. I found several interesting posts where guys were wanting to trade Ruger Mini-14s, with typically 2-3 factory 30 round magazines included and a collapsible stock. Wanting to trade it for "any AR variant."

What that shows me is someone has a perfectly serviceable semiautomatic rifle that they want to trade for an AR-15 for almost surely cosmetic reasons because they fear the AR-15 may be banned.

I think I bought a case of 5.56 last year. I might buy another case, but it isnt a priority. My inventory still remains well above 500 rounds for 5.56/7.62.  I dont really just go to the range and just blast ammo for sake of blasting anymore. The Govmint supplies that fun. Most of my personal range is connected to load development for the hunting rifles I have.

Perfectly fine ammo just clean the weapon real good. Should be some techs on the net.

I owed a mini-14 a few years back before I sold it. Perfectly fine weapon, proven action. Good handling characteristics.

There's going to be a run on extended magazines, just like we saw in the pre-Brady days, which didn't affect the market that much anyway.

Meh, there was the run up for extended semi-automatic handgun MAGAZINES before the manufacturers were required by law to sell the MAGAZINES that came with the weapon at 10 rounds max in the MAGAZINE.

After all, what's the point in owning a Glock 17 with MAGAZINES that only hold 10 rounds?  ZOMG 1 IN TEH PIPE WHADDA BONUS

In a lot of jurisdictions, a lot of school districts have police officers assigned to high schools.  The more affluent counties in Maryland call them School Resource Officers, and Baltimore has a Baltimore City Public Schools Police force that is its own force, and separate from the BPD.

The role of school resource officers is to do everything from providing drug awareness/DWI awareness, to coordinating the Police Athletic Leagues and Driver's Education, to monitoring and counseling first-time nonviolent teenage offenders.  And, oh yeah, manage to provide security as time permits.

You're a parody of yourself, condescending Canuckistani.  But we expect no less.

Are you saying there weren't a lot of conspiracy theories floating around?

There certainly were.  And believe me, you've probably only heard the tip of the iceberg.  I'm just telling you that the reason for most of the ammo panic-buying in 2008 was not conspiratorial.  Unless you think fear of possible anti-gun/ammo legislation from a Democrat House/Senate/President is a conspiracy theory.

I don't give panic buyers the same respect you do.  Hell, most of them probably believe Obama is a Kenyan National.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
