I’m glad to see that you’re bringing back the gun enthusiasm this forum needs. Xoxo

Some of us have never lost it.

I think there should be a bounty on the gang members. Not a law AGAINST killing the pricks.

Also, their "statistics" should be a tally separate from human beings killing each other.
Why muddy the waters?

I can't disagree with that. That's the kind of "out of the box thinking" this nation needs!

I was surprised that there wasn't a peep about the Sacramento shooting and Biden's gun control ideas he presented BEFORE knowing what type of firearms were used of if they were even legally purchased.

Hard for them to push gun control (not that they won't try) when the shooters were gang members with criminal records (already banned from owning guns) who were using pistols with full capacity magazines (already banned in California) and at least one of them equipped with a full-auto conversion (already banned on the Federal level).

Basically an incident that clearly illustrates the utter ineffectiveness of most gun control laws.  When one is willing to violate the law, the law will not affect them.
 

 

They also need to look at sentencings and early release guidelines.  One of the two brothers was just released early.

Shhhhhh!   (gonna have to order a couple more boxes of this stuff!)

I'm seeing more online lately.
Range ammo too. And it seems to be dropping in price a touch.

I carry a Zastava ZPAP92 in my car.

Maybe impressive  . . .  but IMO too cumbersome.

One or two 9mm Glock on the side of the driver's seat  . . .  easily reachable by both the driver and the passenger would be my choice.
I'm both left and right-handed with guns.
(I do not drive a car anymore and my wife is quite proficient with guns  . . .  with her right hand).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But here in Alaska that isn't really something we need !
Crimes in the whole of Alaska pale compared to cities like Philly, Detroit, Chicago  etc. etc. etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But we do have them in our car in the extremely rare occasion we need to drive to Anchorage  . . .  just in case.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never in Valdez !
At least not where we live.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The moment a shot is fired the whole community would show up armed to the teeth  . . .  ready for any contingency !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And besides  . . .   no unfamiliar car would drive through our streets without being followed by a thousand suspicious eyes !
Anyone harming our community would have no chance of escaping  . . .  and the police would meet a wall of  "no one saw anything" !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is  . . .  assuming they found the corpses !
==============================================================================
Speaking of right and left-handed !

I made sure my two kids could write, shoot, hammer, handle a chainsaw  . . .  and do everything with both their hands  . . .  which my parents failed to teach me.
And now I'm pretty much handicapped with my left hand  (other than with guns and mouse)  . . .  and my right hand, due to wear and tear, can't even lift a salad bowl !

I've noticed that too - ammo is becoming more available.  I was even able to buy a box of 350 22's in Walmart the other day.

  I find it weird that .22lr is hard to get.
 Trying to find a box of CCI stingers around here is like looking for the Holy Grail.
I know a lot of people shoot 22 to keep up muscle memory but it isn't the same.

When Joe took office the GOP cons bought-up a zillion bricks of ammo.
With good reason.
The availability will come back.     Here is why.      Money.
The ammo will be supplied........because of money.
It is the game called.............."Capitalism".

  Nope.
 The ammo shortage started before Joe took office.
Try again.
I now know why and the GOP had nothing to do with it.
 Should have known this.
 An AR15 is a .22.
And is easy to convert from .223/5.56 to .22lr
Letting guys train less expensively.
Plus glock started building a .22lr pistol a couple years ago. The G44.
 Same size as the 19 and people are using it to train with instead of 9mm.
 That coupled with supply chain/pandemic problems is why.

Ammo was getting hard to get when the supply chain problems hit. 

I reloaded 30,000 rounds of ammo just because I found a guy that was dying and he left me his bullets and powder. Already had the shells.

I have a friend that started reloading last year.
I buy factory loads for everything but have been saving brass for a long time.
He's going to load 10mm. for me.
I'm just going to give him my other empty cartridges (9mm. 5.56/.223)since I have quite the inventory of those. 
He's going to load full power target loads for me. I'm set on SD.

If you got the set up you can do the work pretty cheap.

  The equipment isn't really that expensive.

Boring but money saving.
Like $6.00 per box of 50 9mm.

I just needed a bunch of cheap .22 lr because I had several kids shooting with me. They were shooting old tube-fed .22 rifles (bolt action and semi-auto) and a little Cricket .22.  The Cricket was the most popular of the bunch.

For now, I've got plenty of cheap 9mm to shoot.  I order the stuff 1000 rounds at a time. Same with 5.56.  I'm pretty stingy with my .308, though.

   My 10/22 hates cheap ammo.
 But then again a good cleaning might help.
 I sold my AR 10. Wishing I wouldn't have now in a way. 
 But yeah I'm well stocked except for 10mm.
Just over 500 rounds for the hammer left.

I used to have a 10/22 years ago.  It ate all of my cheap, non-jacketed ammo, but only as long as I used the factory ruger 10 round mag.  YES, you have to clean .22's - they get dirtier than a whore's vagina after only one day of use.

Especially shooting black bullets it seems.
I do have one of those aftermarket magazines that holds 32 rounds for it. It sucks.
 Only feeds when it feels like it.
Probably a good thing though. A guy can really eat up ammo when he doesn't have to reload after 10 shots.
