The Obama will never sign it... Just like he vetoed the indefinite US citizen detention without charge clauses of the NDAA... Uhhh... Nevermind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 " enough to kill every man woman an child on the planet twice" ...ha ha ha.

Wolverine 10,360 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Any treaty Obama may be interested in must first be ratified by the Senate. 2/3 of the Senate is not going to commit political suicide because of bullet control on a global basis. The key is electing conservative representatives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonaldDuck 9 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hope not. But at the very least, with adding in all the other weird on-goings in the country & the world, I can imagine another ammo issue like when the Obama got elected in the first place... This story is just starting to circulate as of yesterday. Right now, ammo's about as cheap as it's going to get, accounting for inflation thanks to debt monetization & quantitative easing, so IMO, we can't go wrong. I got caught off-guard last time. Not gonna happen again. Call me paranoid. I suppose, that's why I own firearms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Lemon 157 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 " a number of nations, including the US and China, oppose such a move. Egypt, Syria, Russia, Iran, Venezuela and several other countries are also against including ammunition trade" So thats 3/4 of the worlds capitols against this ammo regulation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Russia is not going to go for this either... Keep in mind that the biggest arms dealing countries (including us) in the UN all have veto power. The U.N. allows countries that sell the equipment of war to wear on one side a facade of "We Care", while on the other selling billions of dollars worth of weapons to buyers that don't at the time conflict with their direct interests. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 If you dont have a life time supply then buying it now would do you no good if a ban was to come. blah blah blah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 anything firearm related would be a wise purchase, and ammo is no exception whether this makes it or not. ill believe this shit when i see it, so for now, its a "what if.." and what if is a boat we can all take a ride on...

I wonder how many bullets have been fired vs how man have actually hit a person. I bet its pretty close to a billion to one. The real flaw in that logic is that it assumes you can only kill one person with each round of ammunition. If you line em up right you can get at least 3. Just sayin... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZM 1306 2 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 These people do understand that there were wars before guns right? So "Ammunition is literally the fuel of conflict.", "Stop a bullet, Stop a war" are stupid arguments... most wars in human history were fought with sword and bow. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I wonder how much ammo I would need to buy to be able to go out shooting, say once a week for the rest of my life, assuming I live a long healty life and don't get squished by a bus or something. I can shoot as little as maybe 100 rounds a week, but we all know that if ya bring 3 guns to the range, it can easily be 500 rounds. Who wants to do the math? edit: Math: say it is just 7.62x39 shooting 500 rounds per week @ $229 per 1000. I am 44 yrs old, so if I live to 74, that is 30 years worth of ammo@ $229 every 2 weeks.....That means I need to spend $178,620.00 to stockpile enough 7.62x39 ammo to last the rest of my life. I guess I will have to hold off for a while on that purchase. Edited May 31, 2012 by RobRez Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mogunner 240 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I try and buy ammo every chance I get whether it's on sale or not. I'm lucky in that I have basically four places to buy it close by that have decent prices. Dunn sportin goods seems to alternate having CCI BLazer .22 for $13.99 a brick with either Tulammo 7.62x39 for $4.99 or Blazer brass 9mm for $10.99. My local farm and home store Buchheits runs good sales, nothing in calibers I use this sale but if they follow their usual trend, in two weeks will have PMC Bronze 9mm for $9.97. I pick up a box of Tulammo at Walmart whenever I have $5 to spare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
