Are we supposed to be hoarding 5.56 ammo now?

[VUPDblue]

Wit all this talk of green tip being banned, is everyone buying up ALL the 5.56 flavors?

 

[bradmedic04]

Yep. There's a lack of understanding about what's going on. I had a friend call me today and say "they're banning all 5.56?!?!?! I guess I'll just shoot .223 from now on."

I already have the pre-election stash, so I sure as hell won't be buying into the panic.

 

[bradmedic04]

Aside....how long until some jerk starts painting green tips on his bullets and selling them for 5 times what he paid?

 

[jd4320t]

We need a "we should be buying this now cause we'll regret it later sub-forum"

 

[Que]

Yeah, many people believe all .223/5.56 have been banned and are buying all they can.

Heading to the store to buy green paint now!

I always hoard ammo until it's time to give them back in nice tight cloverleaf patterns...

Let's just fuel the fire further with these threads...

You mean you weren't already hoarding it before the proposed ban? NOOB!

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I'm so behind. I just now quit hoarding primers and moved on to .22.

 

[lovemachine]

Wow. I just did a quick search on the sites I normally buy ammo from, and everything is pretty much gone.

I had no idea people were panic buying again...

You're so far behind, you're gonna miss the mess entirely and be ahead of the next mess. I like your style.

Here's hoping the silver lining with this new wave of hoarding is that .22 starts to reappear on local shelves at once again reasonable prices!!

Ya, ya... I know... right next to the freshly cut unicorn horns--not that I'd promote violence against any mythical creatures, so please, please, please don't steal my pets, PETA!!

Crap I still had room left in my garage.......

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Looks like the demand's up...just checked AmmoSeek and the price is going for about 5-6 cents/round more than when I bought some a week or so ago.

 

[Slawburger]

Yes, .22lr is yesterday's panic.

Today's panic item is 5.56 and .223 (all varieties).

The next panic item is .303 British due to backlash from colonialism. Please tell all your friends that if they want to get ahead they should stop buying .22lr and 5.56/.223 and start buying .303 British.

Sorry, Lee-Enfield guys. I don't own one of those (yet).

Target sports sold 45,000 rounds of PMC M855 for $.55 a round in less than 8 hours.

Here we go again... like clockwork.

This isn't helping any! ATF pushes bullet ban, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle | Fox News I wish reporters could get the basic facts right!

If only people would have been warning everyone this was going to happen. Wait until the November 2016 panic. Nobody is warning anyone over that one either.
