Roughly one year ago at this time, Cabela's was selling four 525 round bricks of Federal .22LR in a plastic ammo can for under $60.00 delivered. Adjusted for inflation, that was probably as cheap as at any time in my life, so I got four of those deals. The gun shows I've been to in the past few months have been an absolute madhouse, and one ammo vendor told me he had $31,000 in sales the previous weekend. As I look at the long lines of people lining up to pay a buck a round for .223 and similar inflated prices on everything else, I can't help but wonder:
1) Did they even vote in 2012?
2) Did they really believe Obama would not come after guns?
3) Have they joined the NRA yet?
4) Have they contacted their Legislators to tell them any infringement of the Second Amendment will not be tolerated?
5) Will they remember to vote out the anti-gunners in the 2014 mid-terms?
We can control our own destiny, or stand by and watch our rights and our hobby gradually disappear or become too expensive to participate. The situation may get better. It could also get far worse. It all depends on us.
