high cap ban

HIGH CAP BAN


Here is just a reminder that I like butt smoke. I don’t use illegal smoke anymore, not since leaving California ( about the only good thing about the state outside the weather-there certainly is a heck of a lot wrong with the place and you can thank me later for not getting started right now- is that smoking marijuana is decriminalized. It isn’t totally legal but all you have to worry about is a small fine for possession of personal amounts. Unlike most states that want to throw you in prison where you are brutally raped and get AIDS [ the AIDS rate in prison is officially 30% so you know that in reality it is a crap load higher- like when Muslim Don tells us unemployment dropped to 9.4% but in reality is north of 20% after you include all the schmucks that are no longer officially unemployed since they already got their 99 weeks of bennies ] and die, all for just smoking a bit of grass ). And I’ve cut back to only smoking one cigarette a day. I always come back after quitting so it is better for my health to smoke that one a day which kills the cravings. I’ve done that for ten years now, so I know it works. But the one kind of smoke I can’t get enough of is butt smoke. Please feel free to blow all the smoke you would like up my ass. Some of you get this, praising my hair every time you add to the comments section. The rest of you can learn from this. It is easier to catch Bisons with honey than vinegar.

I finally ordered my deprimed ammo brass. It ended up costing 56 cents apiece after shipping. A far cry from the low an Internet search came up with of 42 cents each. But to get that you had to order a thousand. And I don’t know if there was shipping added to that. I cried a bit, since when I started buying ammo for the Greatest Battle Rifle Ever Devised, Far Greater Than The M1 If Only Because Of Price ( the Lee-Enfield, please bow your head in silent reverence ) I was paying half that amount for brand new S&B rounds. And only about twenty cents for surplus ammo. The surplus is long gone, S&B is now close to a buck a round and all other brands close to $1.25. I would grieve over the rifle itself doubling in price, but then so has every other one on the market except the commie bolt. $300 for an SKS? Pure insanity! But after I wiped away my tears, I started to enjoy the shiny glitter of promised future security. So bright! So powerful! You see, I didn’t have to order the brass. I have around 1500 rounds of surplus I can, hopefully if the instructions are accurate, turn from Berden to Boxer primed. I have another 500 or so of reloadable ammo. And a lot of primers bought years ago. Not perfect, but better than nothing. And more importantly, enough that if I never buy ammo again I can still sleep soundly at night. The brass is just my ongoing acquisition of supplies that is not procurement but Just Topping Off ( as a minion coined it ).

When the news reports famine, drought, floods or inflation I don’t suddenly get a hollow feeling in my stomach and run down to the store, my loins girded for battle over the last package of Top Ramen. I have enough stockpiles that I don’t have to sweat it. I’ll never get done topping off, but I can weather the storm if it comes tomorrow. Not because I had twenty years to do it ( I’ve done more to prep in the last two and a half years since I’ve moved to the compound- amazing how freeing up that rent payment gives you cash flow- than I’ve done in the last 25 years ), or I’m financially blessed ( don’t make me get started about how poor I am ), but because I’ve done two things. I’ve constantly, paycheck after paycheck, sacrificed luxuries to put money into preps. And, I’ve only prepped the most affordable items, the Better Than Nothings. I don’t buy the absolute cheapest. Corn might cost half the price of wheat, but it is an inferior grain protein wise. I only buy some to combat taste fatigue. But the bulk of calories is from wheat. And I’ll never have enough beans, having concentrated on buying those last to assure enough calories from wheat. But I have enough to get by. I certainly have Spam and tuna, but that was also a luxury rather than a part of the prep stores ( I also bought them when they were cheap ). I didn’t buy all I needed when they were cheap because I have a crystal ball and know what will skyrocket in price next. My crystal ball frankly sucks ass. I’m only right sometimes because I naturally always assume the worse. I got all I needed cheap because I bought as much as I could, as quick as I could, on the assumption one day soon they wouldn’t be for sale at any price. With that sense of urgency, a side benefit was I got a lot of great bargains.

http://commanderzero.com/ is a Yuppie Survivalist Par Excellence. He and I couldn’t be farther apart in our philosophies. I would wager he has at least twenty grand invested in guns and ammo. If it ain’t that high, once you throw in the MRE’s and freeze dried foods it would be. This is a guy going down in style. But he did say something that gladdened my heart. He said that after all the past high cap mag bans and ban threats, you are quite the idiot to not already bought all of the mags you’ll ever need, before the current circus that came from the Arizona shooting. I can already hear your excuses. But I just started buying semi-auto’s! I haven’t had time to save the three grand I need to outfit my Glock Super Penis or my AR-69 ( get it? It sucks orally, but not in a good way ) with a zillion magazines. Do you know how many mags I need to buy for my .357? Exactly. Buy a damn revolver and put the difference in ammo. Years after the apocalypse you can still be capping the idiots that are carrying a Berretta with fifteen high capacity magazines that are all empty. It won’t take long into the collapse for all the firefights with masses of lead being exchanged before the semi guys are out of ammo. Just stay low in the meantime.

If you are currently overinvested in semi’s, you have two choices. Buy the crap out of mags this very instant. Here’s a few links. AR-15 magazine. Glock magazine. Forget the financial pain. Buy now. I can almost guarantee that they will go up more, even without a ban. The feeding frenzy alone should take care of that. The second choice is to sell all those guns. Most likely at a nice profit if your state allows private sales. Buy bolt, lever, break open and revolvers. Not because they are better in combat, because they are better for the apocalypse. And then you never have to worry about mag bans. All things prepping are getting insane. They will get far worse before they disappear. Get them now. Even without a collapse, inflation alone, not to speak of your looming unemployment, will assure you are acting prudently. Wheat will go up, ammo will go up, mags will go up. High weight items from China like grain grinders will go up. Just get it over with, recover financially, sleep better at night. You can’t go wrong.
