    Probably use it for trading more than the cash....but man, it sure would make the stop and think.
    I learned my lesson last time around and stocked up.

    If one side wins and another loses, then the checks stop rolling in on both sides. Divisiveness in government draws contributions and votes.

    I have more primers than I will realistically use in the rest of my life. I stocked up in 2012 when it looked like Obama was going to get reelected. At a buck a piece, I will cash in, but not out of the game. I could sell half of what I have and still have enough. That would allow me to buy a few more toys to play with.

    I hope you guys are right about new gun control laws, but do not bet on it. Just wait until the next high profile shooting and see what a Democratic monopoly does. If what the state and federal government has done in the last year in response to this pandemic doesn’t scare you, your not watching close enough.

    I hope so too..because im not so 'assured' that nothing they throw is going to stick.

    Thinking like that could be dangerous.

    My bet is that Shawlerbrook is right. The White House is avidly awaiting a big school shooting, and possibly that hasn't happened because so many schools have been closed for so long. Once that happens this White House will be in lock-step with Democrats in Congress, and Democrats in many state capitol buildings, with the fervent help of the media to first ban this and that, register and tax all firearms, and then of course use that data to come for our guns. They won't be able to take but a fraction of them in the early days, and we have an unusually pro-Constitution US Supreme Court so that could be a roadblock to Democrats. But the White House could take much of the fun out of our hobby and our rights. The 2022 election season, at least for Congress, begins this summer. Every gun owner who lives in or near a state that might have a seat that could convert from D to R, or a seat that is in danger of going D, needs to work on that campaign. The House and the Senate are each close, and converting either one to R control would be enough to make it to the end of this Biden term. Last year my state of 730,000 saw a $60 million US Senate race because of outside money and independent agency money. We have only one state-wide print newspaper and two television stations in the entire state, so you can imagine how that amount of money flooded everything, and what that means is that ground-pounders, literature droppers, sign-wavers, 4th of July parade float builders and the like are relatively more valuable to a campaign than once was the case. A thousand dollar donation to a campaign here bought a front-row seat only a few years ago but now its volunteers that are scarce (there is only so much radio, newspaper and TV capacity, and that quickly becomes saturated). I feel I owe it to preserve the Second Amendment for the people coming up now. And I really am a single-issue voter.

    Undoubtedly shipping them illegally. I certainly wouldn’t take a chance considering the penalty can be the same whether you’re shipping or receiving. I don’t look good in stripes!

    ad seems a bit fishy though, says flat rate shipping is $20, no mention of hazmat fee,
    wonder how many of these sellers are gonna get caught sending hazmat without proper hazmat shipping.
    I just hope they don’t endanger somebody...

    Also a secondary concern...Just imagine the new laws if a plane goes down and they find out it was due to reloading powder or primers shipped illegally by a layman.

    I went ahead and sent my thoughts to gunbroker, I suggest that you each do the same.

    Glad to know you're thinking of me! With my current stack of reloaded ammo I'm good on .38 Special for now. Honestly I haven't seen .38 Special in stores since November. I still have that Cowboy Action .38 special in my ammo box but considering that there's no way I could use it indoors it's probably going to stay there. Unless you want it, of course. If you happen to have someplace to use it without choking in gunsmoke let me know. I've got 95 of em left. Took 5 shots to get the picture...

    Nice! I don't own anything in .38 Special or .357 Magnum. Weird.

    Would have to say that Henry rifle of yours is a real looker. Red dots sure look funky on a lever rifle but that thing must be a very handy rifle in person!

    Don't forget your state Attorney General as well as the other state offices, a lot of those have gone big on anti 2A activism and we need to remember them next election, for that reason...
