    Maybe we can start a new rumor to help out an INGO member and stop the hoarding on 5.56... I hear they are going to are going to ban scopes, especially Vortex brand scopes...

    Is there any chance donuts will be banned for officers safety? They are really not very healthy.

    (sorry officers. I know it is a stereotype)

    If they ban donuts, what am I going to use as a bun for my hamburgers?

    Waffles.

    You've got the right idea :yesway:

    Run around more to work off all those donut calories.

    I don't think he's trying to work off those donut calories. I think he running around to all the Walmarts buying out their donut stocks before they start limiting purchases.

    Limit: 2 donuts/officer.

    :)

    I'm good with that Walmart carries junk donuts anyway. I'll go get me some Square Donuts and/or Tim's Bakery and/or Long's :drool:

    Must be nice to be able to horde one thing after the other... I don't have that much disposable income.

    When I DO have some money the family wants to go on vacation, or the furnace goes out, or someones car breaks down... Its called LIFE.

    This leads me to believe that either INGO is a kabal of doctors and lawyers, or you fools are putting all this crap on credit cards and racking up debt.

    Not a doctor, not a lawyer but financially secure and able to fund my lifestyle's needs/desires. I do put the purchases on a credit card that gets paid in full each month and has cash back rewards of 1 - 4 % depending on the category the purchase falls into. Cash stays in bank earning a little interest for a while before paying the credit card statement. And yes I have a large stash of loaded ammo in every caliber & gauge I shoot plus powder, brass, primers, and bullets to make a lot more. After the shortages following the '08 election I vowed to never need worry about running out of anything again. Not a matter of if things will be short again but when in my opinion.

    Bought up 5.56 ammo a while back but don't own a gun chambered for that round yet. I know now that I will be able to pick a used AR15 at scrap price when y'all run out of ammo and can't get anymore.

    Just wait until election season. Prices are bound to come down :rolleyes:

    Alternative solution: buy a gun in a different caliber, so you're not at the mercy of one idiotic rule drying up your supply.

    I got a text from my brother earlier today:

    "Are they banning 5.56 ammo"

    Me: "No. ATF proposed banning 62gr green tip saying its armor piercing, but it hasn't been banned yet and it wouldn't effect any other 223/5.56 ammo like 55gr FMJ."

    Him: "Guys at work were saying they are banning all 5.56 ammo, I figured you would know."

    Me: "People are stupid."
