.22 LR ammo hoarding debate

[Nash B.]

I think you got that backwards, you're saying gas is a need, and food is a want.

I think you missed it.

Does ammo become a need if the apocalypse comes?

It really depends on what kind of apocalypse it is.

[BMCSean]

Yes!

.22 LR ammo debate

Discuss.

To me it's no different than a gas station owner who raises the prices if there is a shortage. Hasn't that happened in the past in hurricane country? Store owners will raise prices knowing people will need gasoline even though there is not a shortage at the time.

There is a difference. People need gas, food, and water. We do not need gold, silver, and lead.

I beg to differ, it's the same mentality of hoarding and taking advantage of the situation. In the situations where gas, food, and water are priced artificially high because of a natural disaster (storms/weather) they eventually return back to normal. Sure it's not a necessity but as far as the ammo thing, how long has that been going on?

Here's the difference: You need gas, food, and water. You don't need gold, silver, or ammo.

You can't live without the 1st and it's a need.

You can live without the 2nd and it's a want.

I can understand people being pissed because the gougers drive up the price of ammo. It's no fun for me either. I buy when it's low and don't buy when it's crazy high like it has been for 6-8 months.

If someone can make a buck, good for them. I'm just not buying as I don't need it to keep living.

Me, too.

Thank you, I will delete the thread I started for it.

Edit: Nevermind, already gone.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. At least they're out there on a legal hustle vs. breaking into cars.

And for the people who don't have time to stand in line at Wal-Mart every morning? They get to pay a convenience fee.

Basically, does not mean you have to like it.

What makes me laugh is people applauding gun/ammo companies and they are the biggest crooks of all throughout all this fun.

Again - free market but does not mean I like it.

They're the biggest crooks because they profit off us?
