Lol, I remember the prices that were being thrown around for AR’s and 30 round mags after sandy hook years ago. I don’t expect this do be any different. I’m willing to bet most of us on this thread don’t have panic buying needs for much of anything. -

Well, get ready for the bottom line AR to be listed for $2,500 on ODT next week. -

I’m an Army recruiter in Carrollton. Just got notified none of our future soldiers can ship to basic training. Obviously that means all summer training cycles have been canceled. Stop loss is in effect and has canceled all ETS and retirement dates to offset end strength. -

Stopped at academy in douglasville just now to see if people are buying out the ammunition. 5.56 was almost completely gone and almost everyone in there was buying ammo for pistol, rifle and shotgun. -

Stopped by ingles in Bremen tonight to get some beer. Busiest I’ve seen it since the day before thanksgiving. Many had a cart or two filled with non-perishable goods, water, and a ****load of Coke. Drove through the Bremen Walmart parking lot on the way home and it was packed as I’ve ever... -

Several of us have had to carry 100+pound packs and I can say with certainty you are almost immobile at that weight. I once had to set in a SKT (small kill team) in Iraq for seven... -
Military MRE's
That little bar code and number on top of it will let C.I.D know exactly where it came from! You might want to be a little more careful of the Government property you're selling online! -
Food for thought (no pun intended)
I'm not worried about that. My CO would agree with me. He's a Bama boy and realizes that all military members swore an oath to uphold the Costitution and all of it's ammedments -
Food for thought (no pun intended)
You're absolutely right about the fact you'd have plenty of time to get ready. It would take weeks for the military to prepare for any action. The fact is that there are over 50 million gun owners and less than 1 million Soldiers and Marines. I'd say the fact that armed civilians outnumber us... -

Soldiers will never come and take your guns. I am a drill SGT and have had this discussion numerous times with the guys I work with. If we were ever given an order to disarm American citizens we would desert and join the civilians in the fight against the Government. Soldiers are gun owners...
