I Hate Horders

OK you ammo Horders, this is not funny!   I can kinda  understand a run on AR and AK ammo, but - give me a break!  22 long rifle?  9 mm?  Why?  Because Horders are thoughtlessly buying out everything they see on a shelf, ammo is in short supply.   This buying frenzy has allowed manufacturers, exporters, wholesalers and dealers to raise prices of all ammo.

Horders are not thinking.  They are not only shooting themselves in the foot they are shooting the debate of gun control in the foot.  There are many businesses that have to have a steady affordable supply of ammunition to stay in business, feed their family and afford to stay in the gun control debate.  Firearm ranges, IDPA, firearm stores and shops, personal safety classes, home safety, tractable and concealed carry instructors and accessory business cannot stay in business if there is no ammunition.  

Businesses, clubs and organizations cannot make money, they cannot deliver services and they cannot retain or attract clients. This will drive away veteran customers who are the loyal base.  It will also stop new folks from learning about and appreciating firearms so there is no new support base following.  If people can't compete or make a living  why would they support or participate in gun control debates?  We are narrowing the debate all by ourselves.  

Folks who do competition shooting cannot shoot.  An average competition requires 100 to 200 rounds to complete.  The Horders have driven up the prices so that only the rich can afford to participate.  Just what we wanted to happen.  Competition shooting is now a rich person's sport! 

Despite what some folks might believe, there are many people who rely on hunting to supplement their everyday food supply.  They hunt to eat.  Thanks Horders for denying them a meal.  

Who gets first dibs on what supplies are available?    Government contracts and the very rich.  Good job Horders.  Well played.

So, if you are hording ammo, take it to a range, gun classes, and local clubs and give it to them.  If ammunition comes back into the market, we can continue the debate with supporters.
