    Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken

    The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken

    Doesn't make any sense, all does run so what's the big deal?

    The bandwidth savings might obviate any need for member cash donations if we "missed-out" on all the sarcasm.

    That was certainly interesting. Informative too. Rumors I hadn't heard before.

    I guess all the "quantitative easing" is paying dividends.........to somebody.
    Interesting to see what others are charging. Here in Southern Idaho, primers are $36-38 per 1000 at Sportsman's Warehouse.

    Yesterday I was at bass pro in east peoria. They had primers but wanted $47 a thousand.
    I bought some at another store 8 miles away for $30.
    Powder prices vary a lot here too.
    One store had rifle powder for $37 a pound, another store for $18.
    Makes no sense to me unless they feel they can gouge because of the scarcity.

    Most brands of primers at sportsmans here are going for 37.99 to 41.99, unless you want match primers and they are running 52.99. Any and all of them are hit and miss and just stay on the shelves for one day at a time at the best. I actually saw some federal primers this week for the first time in months. The feds price wasn't marked, and I didn't ask.

    I would really like the moaning about the "People/shooters/reloaders" causing the runaway prices to come to a close . That's pure BS from Idiots.
    It's obvious what is going on and you are just kidding yourself, unless you are in his camp as a "Ringer" (You do know what a Ringer is don't you?)!
    The shortage was orchestrated by Obomination after his first election and continues to this day, him and his administration are playing "Smoke and Mirrors" with the publick to eliminate ALL firearms and point the finger of an AH at the American People!
    These fools have a full understanding of what they are doing!! At one point I thought they would surely as Americans see the light that has kept this country free for so long, however now I feel that it is the beginning of the END, if the people don't wake up and THINK about what is going on!!
    The very act of putting someone like this in this position is the ultimate in STUPIDITY!!

    Now it will be very interesting to see who challenges the things I said! Those who know in there hearts the words I speak are true, or the others who will try to counter every thing I have said to you! Be very carefull my friends, THINK!
