The current gun and ammo shortages coming from President Obama's declaring war on the 2nd Amendment may actually turn out to be a chance for Preppers and survivalists for a number of reasons.
It is a major tenet of preppers and survivalists to be resourceful and turn perceived problems into opportunities, which current development with the proposed new gun laws is just such a problem.
This is not the 1st time that we've had a major school shooting result in a couple of insincere, opportunistic politicians to attempt to exploit the problem for political gain. Remember the federal assault weapons ban? It expired after 10 years. Remember when President George H.W. Bush banned the import of assault weapons in 1990.
The upshot (forgive the pun) of most this is that we have been here before and the odds are against anything really sticking for good. In just a month after President Obama signalled he was going to use his powers as President to issue Executive Orders to enact some gun control, the NRA increased its membership by way of a quarter million people.
Gun control is simply too a lot of a hot button issue for too many people for any real, meaningful measures to ever to obtain at night House of Representatives. However, what this issue and the debate has a proven capability to do would be to cause visitors to rush out and purchase up guns and ammo.
Both gun shortages and ammo shortages demonstrate that the people want to be able to defend themselves which is truly a selling opportunity for those who have stockpiled supplies.
Now CV GUNS AND AMMO realize that it is blasphemy to suggest any prepper or survivalist would ever spend the his guns and ammo. However, considering just how much you really need and just how much you have, you might like to think about selling some now, when it could command an increased price as a result of shortages, and resupplying once sanity is restored.
Yes, that means you're taking a chance that you may miss out if real gun control measures make resupplying impossible down the road. But you don't think that may happen? And you don't think that you need a large number of rounds of ammo?
The typical infantry soldier includes a combat load of well under one thousand rounds. And if there is some sort of societal collapse, you'll want to be avoiding gunfights no matter what, so chances are you may have more ammo than you truly need.
One other thing to consider is how much food and water purification supplies you have stored up. These could possibly be more of a priority but you've been waiting until you had more money to strengthen your supplies. The solution to your money problems may have just come along with the ammo shortages.
