What I saw at a Gun Show today

**UPDATE**  The media is making a crisis about 85 billion dollars in spending cuts under sequestation.  Perspective: The US FedGov spends about $11 Billion per day (September 2011 numbers.)  So the $85 Billion represents 8.5 days of FedGov spending - a week off work.  Yet this is the new crisis of the decade...

...they will never stop coming, folks.  These are hardcore Marxist ideologues.  (I don't give them credit of being 'real' Marxists because they get to play at Marxism from the safety of their gated communities and security details and limos.  Any real Marxist from Russia, Cuba, China would eat the American version's lunch.)

There can be no coexistence.  They mean to have war - with you.

Tulsa - ARs were available at $1200 and up - most were $1600 - $2400.

Magazines: There were some used GI mags running $30, a few PMags starting at $40.  One vendor had .223 handloads at 80 cents per round, and he only had a few boxes. 

What was NOT there: Many people.  There were several factors - some of the buying panic is easing in this area.  As you can imagine, a place like Tulsa is filled with guys and gals who already had their safes and basements filled.  From talking to vendors, this show was unique - the last 2-3 shows here were wall-to-wall people buying anything and everything AR/Glock/1911/ammo/et cetera. 

This last politically-driven panic cleared the shelves across the republic of everything to be used in a fight.  Manufacturers are back-ordered for years in some cases.  A small trickle of some essentials are making their way back to retailers. 

But here is the hard truth: The Left will NEVER stop coming for your guns. 

This most recent panic has crippled the gun industry and their ability to get product to market.  MagPul is threatening to leave Colorado and Beretta is threatening to leave Maryland - do you have any idea what that will do to their ability to put product to market if they have to re-tool in other states?

The most recent panic cleared the national inventory - what do you think will happen when the next Sandy Hook or Aurora happens?  What do you think will happen when .Gov places an order for 1.4 billion rounds of .223 just so you can't get any?  I can tell you what will happen from a business perspective...

...whatever inventory is in circulation at that moment will be the last you will see from most manufacturers for years.  Every firearm, every bullet, every primer and grain of powder still on a retail shelf will be gone, and the demand will put manufacturers - every manufacturer - into several years of backorder.  If you are not on their order list, don't bother trying to get in line.  It'll be too late.  You will have to fight with whatever you have in your home at that moment - because no store, no website will be able to get product to you for years.

And you need to remember this: Bullets, magazines and barrels are consumables.  An AR barrel is shot out at how many rounds?  10,000?  Magazines wear out after how many uses before they get dinged or the spring weakens or they get washed down the river in a horrible boating accident (Zoomie knows all about this sort of thing ;) 

Everything that was easy in America is now in the rearview mirror.  You do NOT have enough mags or bullets or barrels and you'd better believe the very same day Drudge has to run another Sandy Hook headline or another "Congress serious about 2A" headline or an "ObamaCare Doctors now stripping 2A from everyone who has ever been prescribed Prozac - AND every HOUSEHOLD that has a Prozac user in the house (think Lanza)" - that will be the very last day you will see a new magazine, rifle, barrel, bullet, primer...

You will not have a chance to re-supply.

Period.

Buy what you need for a fight, right now.  Buy more than you think you will ever need. 

This fight is going to happen, folks.  They mean to have a war. 

...and there will be no QuarterMaster on Team FreeFor.

The IIIGear mag supply is dropping fast.  Every hour gets me closer to having to shut down the link.  If you intend to buy some of these mags, do it now - I can't promise I'll have more.

Noone can make that promise.

The button is below.  They will ship tomorrow.

Folks, IIIGear has a small quantity of brand new, made in USA 30 round AR .223 Thermold mags.

I am selling them 3 per order with $5.50 shipping. 

The mags are $20 each - so your order is $65.50 total.  I am ONLY selling in lots of 3.  If you want 6, you'll have to place 2 orders.  If you want nine mags, place 3 orders. 

They will ship MONDAY FEB 25 (2 days from now)

You know if you are not allowed to own them, I can't ship them - so, Cali, NY, MD, etc, don't order.

I've added a PayPal at right, I'll take it down when they are gone.

I've also added a PayPal button below.  I'll kill the link when they are gone.

If you think you have enough - you're wrong.  As usual, all orders benefit the 527.
