Firearms Supplier Sells More Than Three Years Worth Of Magazines In Just Three Days. "Mad Bob" reacts.

"Don't worry if you didn't get enough mags before the panic. You can get all you want out of dead men's ammo pouches after the civil war begins." -- COL Robert "Mad Bob" REDACTED, Commander of the Dogtown Rangers Constitutional Militia, Blount County, Alabama.

"To shed some more light on the magazine situation at present, it really has been unprecedented in the last 5 days. During a roughly 72 hour period...we sold the 'average demand' equivalent of about 3.5 years worth of PMAGS, and an even greater amount of our Brownells magazines."

David Forward said...: It's not just 30-rounders. Jeff Cahill says that TangoDown, which produces what is arguably the best magazine for firearms that accept AR-15/M16 magazines, has completely run out of both 20- and 30-round magazines.

I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that the statist loving moonbat left is so oblivious to the law of unintended consequences.

Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.

David Forward said...: As an addition to my last post, a couple of years ago I bought the entire inventory of a small to medium sized gun show exhibitor who tried to expand too fast and ended up in deep financial poo poo. While it only included about 8 guns -- 2 AR clones among them -- he had an gigantic inventory of mags and ammo. Under friendly pressure from friends and fellow gun enthusiasts I sold around 250 20 and 30 round mags (cheap), but kept another 250 for "a rainy day."

The latest "forecast" confirms my stockpiling of those AR mags, and around 200 assorted pistol mags and 25K rounds of 5.56 Lake City ammo -- my tribe is sitting pretty well prepared considering what is promising to be a deluge hitting us in the near future...

Long live financial incompetence!

SWIFT said...: Col.Mad Bob's advice is good. It includes, rifles, pistols, ammo, boots, cigs, medicine and gold teeth.; December 21, 2012 at 1:25 PM

Which, as far as we voluntaryists are concerned, is the best thing that could happen. Government is at base violence, and completely illegitimate. It's high time to become an apostate of the government religion.

"Mad Bob" is right. This country is and will be awash in magazines, and they can be manufactured pretty easily too. A fine stock is available for the coming black market. This will make alcohol prohibition look like child's play.; December 21, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Anonymous said...: Geeze.. people must be buying all those mags to bury somewhere.. I cant imagine what they will do with so many ???

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
