You do realise that a RED sticker is gonna be placed on your mailbox or close to your house so they know who to take first right?

Ask yubba about those.

Let them try. It'll just become a National News Story for months until we finally impeach Obama for attacking US citizens.

And if they use a drone, oh well... Nice knowing you guys.

Ah, but you'll suddenly be found to have a Mexican great-grandfather that you never knew about and thus be sent to the FEMA death camps.

You may end up with a PINK sticker instead.
Those people are hauled off and used for breeding.
Uhh... LizardMen breed with Males of our species by the way.

Enjoy!

Homosexual lizard men are undermining America's Christian-family values.

Ah...but you see, all of my great grandparents are dead. I've already looked into the possibility and I have concluded that this possibility is not possible.

Plus, there's no way i'm related to a Mexican. I'm that Nuke-Submarine Pale White Color. FEMA Death Camps don't worry me. Why? Because you can take a course and be certified in the Incident Command System online. How do I know this? Because I am currently in the process of becoming ICS Certified.

I know exactly how they operate and how to get into ICS.

Looks like I'm one step ahead of FEMA

You are now on Yubba's hit list my friend.

Someone is stealing our 9mm rounds. While most people are unaware of the impending danger, I am.

I'm Jesse Ventura, and this is a scare tactic to gain power and rake in trillions in profit.

If they puts one on my mailbox I'll show them a thing or three by peeling it off.

It's really not hard to figure out why you can't find 9MM anywhere, and it's really not that complicated.

Over the last few months, the "Run on the gun stores" is a complete one. Everything firearms related has high demand. Anything that I thought of, hordes of people have already descended upon.

- Go to the local surplus store to pick up an ammo can or three? Check.
They're all sold out.

- Order a new IWB holster? Check. Due to high demand, they're backordered several months.

- Order a new gun safe? Check. Due to high demand, they are backordered for the next year. (thankfully I don't live too far from the factory, or its outlet, so I only have to wait 1 month instead of 1 year)

- Buy Ammo? Check. All sold out.

- How about reloading supplies? Eh, how about that. I do my own reloads.

Get this:

- Small pistol primers? Forget it. Nobody knows when they're getting more in.
- Powder? Forget it. All sold out. Nobody knows when more is coming.
- 115 grain 9mm FMJ bullets? Nope. All sold out. I even checked directly with the manufacturer of my favorite brand. They are back ordered for several months.


Seriously, look at the big picture. 9MM is the most common round used. So Where in the hell do you think it went? It went into the basements, safes, vaults, containers of American's all across the country.

I'm kicking myself I didn't buy a couple thousand rounds of .223 a couple years ago when prices were cheap.

I would agree here. Lets' liken this to a snow storm. Everyone runs to the store for milk and bread. People make a run on snow shovels and salt. It is the idea of foreboding that drives people to purchase way beyond what would be considered reasonable. So, start talking guns and removing a few types of weapons creates the environment of foreboding. People make a run on weapons. These weapons need bullets. This time around, it seems 9mm is the caliber of choice. Toss in some doubt of where the country is going. The brew for a run on guns and bullets is complete.
