I would if I could...

Still trying to figure out how to get that 12 bore, don't have a 22 at this point. Different info from different sources make even pinning down the price on the shottyguns they're supposed to be bringing in this year difficult. Rumor has it that the Army will be selling the Browning B525 at $4,000 US, but another rumor has it that through the Federation we'll be able to get them cheaper... pinning down accurate info ain't easy.

I found some 22 LR today ...

Winchester in the 100 round red see thru box, $8.99 per 100. Trouble is it was at Academy and even though they had about 20 boxes, it's limit one box per customer on 22LR, .223, 9mm, etc.

Later I stopped at a little pawn shop in Texarkana (traveling today). Two 500 ct boxes of Winchester Wildcats @ $45 each, and Two more of Remington Golden Bullets for $50 a box of 500.

Luckily I have enough 22LR at the house to shoot the rest of my life and train all my grandkids and somebody is still going to have a load of 22 ammo when I die.

Columbia should be the poster child for showing gun control

Laws don't work. Strictly controlled sales of guns and ammo and exhortibantly high prices with the highest murder rate in the world (or so I read recently). Mexico would come in close anf of course Chicago.

Actually, Mexico has us beat on the murder rate... and

their gun control laws are even worse!

City in Honduras is now the murder capitol of the world

Juarez, just down the road from me held it for like 3 years in a row, but they have slipped to #15. Government claims it was due to their efforts, word on the street is there is now only one drug cartel in charge, and that has brought relative peace to the city. The drug cartels are in the drivers seat, if we disarm, won't be too long before they will have the same control here.

I have never been to Honduras but on the subject of ammo it is the same as here in Kentucky. The shows (I am told) that have 22 ammo in 500 packs (plus or minus) are rare but when available sell like hotcakes at $50 per box. Such is life.

I gave up on being politically correct years ago when I was still a regular attendee at this forum. Consequently, forgive me when I speak inappropriately for public consumption. One of Obama's unintended consequences is that he has done more for the firearms industry fiscally than a world war.

Rob... keep working on that spelling.

Keep yer powder dry.
