AMMUNITION SHORTAGES AND PERSONAL PREPAREDNESS/RESPONSIBILITY
First, understand that ammunition companies do NOT want ammo shortages, nor the frustration,
sleepless nights and angry customers that come with shortages. Wondering how we will find enough
ammunition components to keep our employees working and our customers happy, becomes a full time
job and burden. So, ammo buying frenzies are not something ammunition companies desire. However
we live in a time when you should simply know that ammo shortages will continue in America. These
shortages may be an off-and-on situation, but they will continue. If you are not aware of that, it is
because you are not looking at the society and politics around you. As a nation, we no longer trust our
government, our neighbors, our dollar or the continuation of our once great American way of life. This
situation has been brought upon us because we have allowed our government to incrementally destroy
freedom through spending, taxing, regulating, class warfare, the institution of “entitlements”, central
banking and legislating laws that violently attack the US Constitution. Plus, we are not safe from acts of
terror, crime or the “fall-out” of natural disasters.
Consider the below situations and ask yourself just how likely it isthat we will have continued ammo
shortages in America.
1. What will your politicians do when (not if, but when) another mentally ill shooter goes into yet
another grade school and shoots down dozens of children? (Insertmall, Movie Theater, school
bus, sports stadium, etc.) There is nothing stopping that mentally ill person from doing just that
as most schools still have no armed guards and when it happens again, the US Constitution will
get all but publicly burned by your liberal politicians and many of the conservative politicians will
join them at that point. Think I’m wrong? As I write this, (03-21-13) the once conservative Rocky
Mountain ranching and natural resource based state of Colorado, just passed New York style
gun control measures yesterday! Politicians say that limiting the rights of law abiding,
constructive citizens will somehow stop the mentally ill or criminally minded from harming folks
and this sort of thinking by our elected representatives will continue to cause concerned citizens
to buy ammo.
2. How bad will you need ammunition when the economy (not if, but when) goes into a full tail
spin known as a depression? When riots happen in the streets because the welfare class can no
longer be paid your tax dollars? When food, fuel and housing become unaffordable for many
and thieves, looters, rapists and murderers proliferate our society and there is not enough law
enforcement to help? If you have eyes and are using them, you can see this is bound to happen
if our national fiscal policies do not get a major reform, which means the entitlement programs
that your tax dollars are paying for, will have to stop as we are spending money we do not have
and are deeply in debt—this debt must be answered, but it is growing so fast, it makes a runaway train look placid. Do you yet see any politicians ready and willing to cut off entitlements? I
don’t, so guess where we are headed?3. When (not if, but when) Al-Qaida type terrorists actually make a very successful terror attack on
US soil, what will happen with ammo sales?
4. When (not if, but when) natural disasters such as a major earth quake in Los Angeles or Seattle,
another Katrina, a major volcanic eruption, or a crop destroying drought happens in one of
Americas biggest crop belts, do you think folks will be trying to get ammunition? Obviously, they
will. Most of us were old enough to pay attention to what happened in Louisiana when Katrina
hit, but what if back to back Katrina’s hit 500 miles apart in the samemonth? Such a scenario is
far from implausible.
5. Are you going to wish you had ammunition available when the UN gets called into this country
on enforcement missions because of the failing society in our large cities that is taking place,
because some or all of the above happens? I for one, won’t tolerate foreign government or their
forces (the UN or NATO) taking control of my constitutionally guaranteed rights on US soil.
As you can see, the perfect storm for ammo shortages is going to occur many times in this country. The
combination of two or more of the above mentioned events, happening in unison, will have an impact
that cannot be imagined. So please, when/if the current ammo shortage ends, DO NOT WAIT to stock up
on more ammunition, hi-cap magazines and firearmsthan you think you’ll ever use. These items can
always be sold or bartered, so under no circumstance is it money wasted. Hence there is no down side
to being responsible and prepared by purchasing and storing ammo or related items, for your own
welfare and the welfare of those you love.Unfortunately, it seems to be human nature to wait for a
door to close, before they decide to walk through it……………..
You have become part of the problem when you wait for an emergency to take place, before you start
looking for ammunition or other forms of preparation. Don’t be part of the problem. Instead, be part of
the solution by becoming prepared far ahead of time--it is a matter of prioritizing and being responsible.
As an aside, those of you who live in cities need to have at least 30 days of drinking water on hand.
Clean water supplies can instantly be shut down, destroyed or polluted, leaving millions of desperate
humans with no way to survive. You should also consider storing some foods and if possible some fuels.
Most important of these however, is the drinking water. Take care and God bless.
