It actually wasn't originally, Dave moved it here in anticipation of the shitstorm that followed.
Poe, I like you, man, but really, there should have been two different threads about this.

Probably, but very near the start it was started what was expected to happen, so we shouldn't be exasperated when that happened.
Jesus I went to all the gun stores around here to buy one more pmag for my ar. Everyone is sold out. Now to check Amazon or wait till around Monday so the mom and pop one will hopefully have a shipment
The mags have jumped $20 a piece at Cheaper Than Dirt.
Yeah, there is ONE on amazon. They are trying to sell it for $100
So much for me buying an AR-15 two years from now...
Give it a little bit and the omg must buy now that everyone is going through will die down
Yeah, the OMG reaction on top of Christmas shopping just put the whammy on supply at this time.
you could also consider maybe not buying guns or gun accessories
No, you can't PMags are magazines, not ammunition[DOUBLEPOST=1355961659][/DOUBLEPOST]
You can buy ammo online though, just not on amazon.
Bullets are safe to transport as long as they don't catch on fire or anything and there is nothing overtly suspicious about buying bullets unless your buying thousands at a time. Remember, a lot of people shoot recreational and some guns need rounds in weird sizes and calibers. It's often easier to just order them directly from the manufacturer.
*Must not post link to where you can buy shotgun shells online that shoot fire*
Ahh... Dragon's Breath. When you absolutely, positively must destroy your shotgun barrel.
I'm trying to think of a situation where setting something on fire would confer a tactical advantage above simply shooting them with a shotgun. Maybe if you're fighting a scarecrow or something...
Or maybe someone wants to set something on fire, for example if you're pillaging a medieval village, but that's what torches and other arson-related devices were invented for.
Body armor. You set your target's clothes on-fire and force them to ether burn to death or drop everything to try and put it out. It's also scary as hell and will make some people stop dead in their tracks. It's kind of amazing the lengths weapon designers will go to..
I have been lying to myself that "assault weapons ban" is banning all guns since literally every gun is a weapon designed to assault to make myself feel better
Hmm, I guess that makes sense. Wonder why I didn't think of it. My brain must not be wired that way.
Isn't it awesome how everyone is selling out because the sales are through the roof recently?
The sheer volume they're doing is so outside their norm that they're having to buy larger shipments to fill the orders. Gives you a warm feeling inside doesn't it? There's even more ammo/guns out there than previous to this weeks talks of Gun Control!
nah all that shit you just said is terrible
I'll deal with it by voting for, donating to, and supporting in other ways gun control campaigns and politicians. This issue feels like something I'm on the right side of history for, like gay rights, repealing the death penalty, etc etc.
I'm sure
I've said my point multiple times. ie: see the early parts of this thread, he dodged every time his point was countered. That's his thing

Coming back to this thread after a break, because Lord knows I needed one. And I'm coming back for a reason - to share a story about something that happened to me this morning.
So I'm walking into the school today, and a parent who had dropped off a kid had driven out the back way near the teachers' parking lot. She saw me, asked if I was a teacher, and when I said I was, she waved me over, handed me an envelope, and told me, "You never saw me."
Yuh-oh.
I went inside, opened it to see who I needed to deliver it to, and it was a Christmas card that contained a twenty dollar bill. It was a random act of kindness inspired by the Sandy Hook tragedy. She had written a truly touching note about spreading love, asking me to pay it forward, and to remember the twenty little angels who went to heaven. Fought back some tears on that one. The school is collecting for the Sandy Hook survivors tomorrow, and that's where that money will be going.
And that's what we really do need to take away from this. That we can reach out to total strangers, just anybody, and do them a kindness. It can do so much good for that person, and inspire them.
I don't know who you are, and I won't try to find out since you want to remain anonymous, but thank you. I had been pretty depressed and angry over the Sandy Hook murders, but that simple, touching gesture served as a reminder of how decent and kind people can be, and I really needed that. Things just seemed a little better today, and even tomorrow seems that way now, too. I will be paying it forward.

This article is a little intense (actually, it's quite a lot intense), but I think it's very worthwhile.
