    I'm done fanning the flames of ignorance here. If I can't combat it with comedy, I'm not picking the fight. I gave up derp for lent.

    I gave up seafood for Lent. I do allow myself to have the fast-food square fish sandwich on Friday though. It is raised on select farms in Asia for McDerps, Snotking, and Rally's. Forcing myself to eat that crap alone is a Lenten sacrifice.

    is the real truth??

    Most certainly only M855 threatened to be banned. Not all .223/5.56 It will hopefully fall through.

    And Gator... I DOUBT IT!

    The run on FMJ bullets for reloading is already happening. Looked at xtreme's site last night and they had 1200+ 500 rd boxes available. Looking at it now and there are 144 left. Looked at some bulk PMC 55gr out of curiosity sake and it's at $490 per 1000.

    I guess the fine folks of Covington must have thought President O said he was banning 9mm, cuz dat shee was gon! Unless the fine folks of Academy forgot to stock the shelves. Didn't bother to look for 5.56, too many 'necks with overalls looking.

    It's A proposed ban nothing set in stone. Bows the time to write the "to whom it may concern" letters, speak up, get active and don't panic buy

    Went to Walmart in Covington this morning, they had 100 round boxes of Federal for just under $26 and WWB for a little over $26.
    9mm that is.

    Had one pants leg on before I read the last line. :rofl:

    It's over for a while folks. Even distributors are wiped out. Don't plan on buying .223/5.56 any time soon unless you like overpaying or pitching a tent outside Academy (and overpaying).
