Whether or not her edict is BS is up to the courts to decide. I'm hoping they'll agree with us and toss it but it's MA so anything can happen.

And even if they do toss it (as you said, not certain since "OMG GUNZ!") then we're still left with the features test in MGL.
Figured I’d bump this wonderful thread since there’s talk in another thread about panic buying starting again...

There may very well be a panic buying on PVC tubes and shovels, but only in MA and other libtard States

Havent really been looking for signs of panic, but happened across Anderson stripped lowers for $40 which were in stock. Not exactly panicky...so far. Also bought some 223 for $0.26/rd (brass cased) post FL. Meant to do a primer/powder run today but Im a lazy f*** and basically wasted the whole day online.![[sad]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/004.gif "Sad [sad]")

26 cents is a great deal. I’m pretty much stocked except I could use some more pistol primers I guess.
I haven’t really seen many signs of panic buying either but others were discussing signs in another thread. Figured I’d bump this thread.

I was going through our classifieds and I think there is a high uptick in ar15s for sale and lowers as well as just about everything. Lots getting posted reciently.

Minutemen were required to have two muskets in good working order, certain amount of dry powder and be able to shoot straight, right?
By these standards, I’m GTG. No need to buy more. Just need a marching order.

I never really feel like Im stocked anymore, lol. After all the bs of the last 8 years or so, it feels like anything can happen at any time so its hard to not pick up stuff while its cheap and available. So maybe Ive been slow-motion panic buying readily available stuff at reasonable prices recently?

Ive seen people here and there talking about panic buying but mostly like its something they are expecting or see as inevitable, but I havent really seen anything credible yet.

Thats true. Have to wait and see how quickly they sell, or if they sell at all. People can list all day long, but if no one is buying prices and availability arent going anywhere.

Gotta feel for the guy who's last ditch shtf weapon is a sink.
quite likely the truest post in NES history.
one if by land two if by sea might as well be a vintage frostee ice maker and some cloth WWII maps.

Nothing wrong with that my friend! Gotta be prepared.
As Rob Boudrie has said, it’s “prudent inventory management” lol
Oh.. Shit.. Maybe the parlor rifle is a NES number station. You know, one of those chirp radio stations left over from the cold war that are used by intelligence agencies and spies? Suddenly it all makes sense!

"I'll take the parlor rifle" is the new "the chair is against the wall."

Ok, subscribed. So the official signal for Operation Overlord is when the parlor rifle and sink sell we meet at Rendezvous Point A, correct?
So panic buy the $2,000 ARs in the classifieds? Got it. What else? Panic buy Night Hawks and STIs?

I'm so loaded down with ammo that I won't need any until well after the initial panic has subsided. If this all blows over, I'll be fine by the time I need more. If it doesn't, then it's time to open the SHTF stockpiles.
That said, it's time to invest in aluminum paperweights. I think I might have to invest in companies that produce bar stock.

Was at an Amherst, NH WM this past Saturday and the cabinets were seriously jammed full with just about every kind of caliber you might need (they even had 7mm-08).
the oddball stuff is always the last to leave the shelves from what I've noticed. not that we're IN a panic right now, but if we were it'd be the 5.56, .308, 22lr, 9mm, .45acp and fotay that'd be gone first.
i was looking at all the buckets of wheel weights in my garage this past weekend and had actually forgot why I decided I was going to get into casting when bullets were so plentiful...but now I remember
Brass cased 223 for 24c a round is out there, time to buy I don't think it can get much cheaper.
