22LR flippers

[jamil]

Those who haven't stocked up when things were plentiful are creating undue buying stress on the little that becomes available.
Where is the anger toward this crowd?

is the pot sufficiently stirred now?

I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't have much more than a couple of bricks before Newtown, but I shot .22LR only occasionally. If I hadn't bought a couple of new guns since, I'd probably still have some of those two bricks and change left. But I'm enjoying the heck out of my Ruger Mk III. So yeah, I'm buying what I can when I can find it for a price I'm willing to pay.

If I continue to shoot 22 at the pace I have over the last 2 years, I have enough for 150+ years

I probably haven't shot 200 rounds of 22 in the last 2 years. You know, a sensible rate when you don't know if you'll ever be able to replace it.

Catching up on these last few pages has made me decide to pick up some .22LR at my local Wal-Mart this weekend. See you guys at 7AM. Lol!

200 rounds in 2 years just isn't possible for me at this point. I'm a workaholic. Shooting the MK III is my zen. I hit the range 2 or 3 times per month. Each trip I shoot maybe ~100 rds. So between 200 - 300 per month. I have enough to last through the year now at that rate. I'll probably continue to buy it when I can find it for what I'm willing to pay. If I get into a drought, I'll probably back off the schedule.

7 AM? couldn't do that. I hit Cabella's every few weeks at 9AM. Sometimes I get lucky. Sometimes not.

the $1,100 I put on 20k 22LR in the past 10 months is doing much better than my 401K.

I only show up when it is actually there -- I'm not one of those guys who shows up every morning hoping it is there.

Well, let me know when it's there then. I went to Cabella's this morning on the way to work and they had nuttin'. Haven't been in several weeks. Struck out this morning.

I love the talk about "hold outs" for "flippers".

If defending basic free market ideas is "holding out" against something, count me in.

Also, I have no 22 for sale. So there's that.

Rumor has it- ATF and CME have combined to create new .22LR Federal Flippers License, I thinks it's a FFL - 22LR Allows guys who are real capitalist to invest the egg money on .22lr shells cause it's just like gold and silver. Give them flippers there own market. Maybe that will ease up the lines at wal-mart, gander, etc. LOL.........

So every collector who sells anything they ever bought needs a business license or an investment advisor has to get a cut or it's black market?

Done with reading the churning and grinding for few wks too.

I'm 'short' on 'flippers' but 'long' on .22LR. So there... Or maybe its the other way around. Now I'm confused.

I would like to buy 10 August .22LR contracts at $500. ($50/1000 rnd contract).

 

[jamil]

It is indeed emotion. everything you stated is without fact. You can add as many LOLs as you like. It doesn't change the tone of your posts, except to demonstrate your contempt.

You guys complain and mock and whine because you believe "flippers" are violating some universally understood code of ethics. 'Thou shalt not buy up thy neighbor's fair share of the ammo supply at Walmart such that the little children go deprived of shooting sustenance. And double wrath be upon thee if thou shalt profit from it'.

But it's not universally understood. You're only projecting your own moral code onto everyone else as if they should live by your standard of ethics. And when they don't, you complain, mock, and whine. Yes, that's emotion.

It's fine to develop a set of standards that YOU live by. So YOU live by them. Stop judging others who don't.

Wouldn't even bother with him anymore man. His pathos laden arguments and fantastical sophistry is like trying to play keep away with the neighborhood spastic...
