I picked up 1,000 rounds each of 9mm and .223, and some more 30rd. mags for my AR15. Trying to get ahold of another lower receiver but it seems everyone is out of stock at the moment. I'd like to pick up a cheap .22 pistol soon as well.
what about you?

and I've got a .22 snub nose revolver that I may be selling sometime soon if you're interested.

No "recent event" has forced my hand in buying additional items, either actual arms or munitions though. I have purchased two rifles and two handguns within the past 6 months. I don't know if this answers your question or not. |

The economy has very, very little to do with the underlying topic, however. For most, also, it's not a matter of "living in fear" or anything. I like having my firearms, enjoy target shoot and game hunting. Am I afraid of something because of that? |

Setting gun limits is way down on that list. This is another case of acting on fear and rumors.
C'mon people. |

You're always going to have those who steal and rob because they're too lazy to work.
Dont live in fear, but be prepared to defend yourself. | I don't live in fear. I've luckily never found myself in a situation where a gun would do anything more than escalate a bad moment into something far uglier. Maybe I'm lucky. I'll keep doing things the way I do them.

Dont live in fear, but be prepared to defend yourself. | I've gone the cheaper route and just eliminated my fear of death. Less money on guns means more money for beer.
And more money for beer means less money to get robbed for anyway. |

I was planning on getting some sort of M1A for longer range target shooting, but might hafta act soon. Looks like production for anything that has ever been on a battlefield is approaching. I've even heard that the M1 Garand and Carbine are gonna get banned. |
