    Buying all the bullets so the cops can't get them is actually good praxis.

      Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. The civilian market gets the leftovers from production. Military and police get first dibs usually by making orders directly to the manufacturer, then retail suppliers can buy the scraps. So no, the police don't buy ammo from Cabela's.

    I wish my mental health was stable enough to feel comfortable owning a neighbor killer.

    I keep waiting to buy anything in the hopes that prices will go down medium term.

    Starting to think this will never happen.

    AHA... That's the solution, you see... puts on neo liberal hat ... to reduce police involved fire arms related incidents, just buy up all the ammunition. :think-about-it:

        You can still find them if you have patience and check every day, and in my experience even as wildly marked up as they are the resulting bullets are cheaper than buying factory mades. I shoot about once a week, almost all bullets I make myself, and I've been able to keep up.
