Joe Biden announced that he isn’t going to run for President, which means that the choices in the Democrat camp are between Bernie Sanders (who I really hope gets the nomination) and Hillary Clinton. This is akin to choosing death by firing squad or death by hanging.
The Republicans, thus far, haven’t come up with anyone that sets the world afire, so I think the election will not be about voting for someone as much as it will be about voting against someone.
In short, it’s panic buying season. I would be surprised if the Biden announcement, which seems to seal the deal for the Clinton camp, doesn’t tick the pricing algorithms at Cheaper Than Dirt and we see Pmags back at $50 per.
I could be wrong, of course, but if I am…so what? All that means is you bought a dozen Glock magazines this week instead of in three months like you planned. Best deal I’ve found today is Gun Accessory Supply selling OEM G17 mags for $19. I’ve found Magpul Glock mags for $12 but Im not willing to pull the trigger, so to speak, on them until I’ve had one to evaluate.
Well heck, here you went and got my hopes up for some spare mags. They don’t sell to the general public. Uh?
On an admin note, any chance of a “click here to get updates to the comments” button?
I have no idea. I’ll have to check, but I usually dont mess around much with the blog back-end stuff.
so far not a bump in ar15 prices. still an over supply of parts/receivers. ammo seems up a couple five spots a thousand this week from last. mag supply is leveling out and prices are reflecting that. some lines have been shut down, hope that doesn’t turn into a shortage later.
This is admittedly ‘ wishful thinking’, but I think Eve’s a genuine chance Hilda-beast’s email scandal could result in *someone* facing criminal charges. If/when that happens, some serious finger-pointing will begin.
Please recall that, until John Edwards had his love-child scandal, he was stealing Hillary’s lunch. It was after he implode that dark-horse (NPI) candidate Obama emerged from the shadows.

Not much of a reaction from my POV….just got the Bud’s specials by email. Kimbers under $700, Adams Arms blemished piston AR $589, Ruger rimfires $250 or less, a CZ semiauto shotgun for $373 and an Anderson M4 for $761. Got my attention enough that I was giving the CZ semi a serious look but I have enough guns (never thought I would ever say that but it’s the truth). And I’d rather stay off the paperwork and buy private party the way things are these days.
Sad part is crazy old Uncle Joe isn’t running. If he was running he would actually get to talk and it would be hilarious. Hate his politics but crazy old drunken Uncle Joe is hilarious.
Buddy and I recently did a handgun class where we fired between 600 and 700rds of ammo each, he used the same 8 Magpul G17 mags and had no problems what so ever. He and I ended up buying a half dozen more.
