Right now I’m willing to pay it - if I can actually find any ammo for sale.

In Leafland it's not too bad as far as availability, but prices are definitely going up. People are stocking on 7.62x39mm which makes sense as most households have a couple of SKSes. Crates of ChiCom surplus 7.62x39mm that used to go for $250-300 are $430-$450 now. $400 is already considered good deal.

Decent quality 22lr, any 12ga other than birdshot, most 30-06 and 308 all go quickly too. 9mm and 5.56mm are still plentiful, not as much demand for them as in the US. Just got another 2k of CCI 22lr and some good quality Federal 308 while the getting's good.

Raising prices is one thing. Raising prices on orders already placed but yet to be shipped is fucked.

Definitely a dick move, but at least they're still shipping. Glad the voices in my head told me to stock up in 2019.

Redstate/Politico say Dems aren't optimistic, since Ossoff is a square and Warnock has a ton of baggage. Still, I'm legit losing sleep over this shit.

My gut feeling is that Perdue will squeeze through but Loeffler is fucked. She's already one of the sleaziest corporate Republicans around and I feel like she's going to take a lot of the frustration over McConnell killing $2000 in the Senate. I'll frankly be amazed if she pulls through at this point.

Well, today is decision day lads. If it goes our way things should calm down... eventually. If not then buckle the fuck in.

Doesn't matter who wins you shouldn't let your guard down.

The Republicans track record on gun control isn't great, and they will compromise push come to shove unless pressured. Also even if the democrats lose they aren't going to stop, we'll just be dealing with more shit like operation choke point and fuckery from the ATF.

Not trying to be a doomer or anything but it's the reality of the situation.

I'm of the opposite opinion if they split. Ossoff seems like a "safe" candidate, and Perdue is allegedly under investigation for insider trading.

Loeffler strikes me as ditzy, but Warnock talks a lot of shit (like saying Christians shouldn't join the military) and has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Fidel Castro, Jeremiah Wright, and Louis Farrakhan. Plus, Perdue and Loeffler combined got over 600,000 votes than he did total.

Of course, this is assuming no fuckery occurs.

Stacey Abrams should be a joke candidate but she got uncomfortably close to the governorship (which was helped by Kemp being a complete dud, but still) and has had a couple of years to start setting up Chicago machine style fuckery in Atlanta. I think the Georgia GOP is staring down oblivion and they don't even seem to recognize it. I'd love to be wrong but if Warnock despite his bullshit gets through it's bad news for everyone despite how shitty and feckless Georgia Republicans seem to be.

I'm also worried about all the fraudulent fuck-fuck games blackpilling Republicans and suppressing turnout.

Oh I hear ya. When it comes to gun politics, the choice between Republican and Democrat is the choice between having a howler monkey or a full grown chimp maul your face. Both are awful but I'm choosing the monkey every time.

My stepmom is interested in getting a shotgun for my dad and is dead set on getting one with a 3.5" chamber. She doesn't seem to care that it doubles the price of the gun, ammo is rare and expensive as hell, and the ballistics are ass and not worth it. "I know more about guns than you" you thought 7.62x51 was .50 BMG

Check out the Beretta A350 Xtrema. It's an absolutely bulletproof semi-auto shotgun, not ridiculously expensive either. I'm trying to find one in black instead of the camo but those are rarer.
