WTF!!!??? :mad:

Another way to side step the 2nd amendment end kill our rights, AZ im extremely disappointed!
 
Yup, looks like all that ammo I just bought has a two year shelf life.
:mad:

And if your ammo get's stolen? :uhh:

Brings up a question: anybody ever done any "seal-a-meal" vacuum packing of ammo?
Is that a smart thing? Any reason NOT to? (any escaping gasses to worry about, etc?)
I mean just to increase the shelf life and all, for long term emergency storage.

Oh yeah, BTW:
"My first priority will be to reinstate the assault weapons ban as soon as I take office. Within 90 days, we will go back after kitchen table dealers, and work to end the gun show and internet sales loopholes. In the first year, I intend to work with Congress on a national no carry law, 1 gun a month purchase limits, and bans on all semi-automatic guns."

The military ammo battle packs are sealed for many years without issue. :2c:
 
Sold Out.

I've about given up on him.

Look at the Border situation, for example.
Say you run a big construction company in Texas, Arizona, or California, and live in a gated community...you like cheap illegal labor.

Hell, you can hire by the day, pay less than minimum, and don't have to pay benefits. (this X thousands of workers).

What do you care about the crime that comes with it, (and you'll actually lobby for illegal labor to people like McCain).
What do you care if American's are out of work because of it.
What do you care if crime and kidnappings come to the "working class" neighborhoods.

If you're a blue-collor working man that cares about America, well...different story.
Better take your ammo.
Sold out, Bro.

And I'm not sure if the basic theory behind the numbers are a bad idea. It just wont work. (old/stollen ammo).
And, it's an awfuly lot of freedom(and $$$) to piss away, having to destroy all my EXISTING ammo, etc.
:uhh: C'mon.

It's Probably gonna get worse too, again (from the man himself):

"Some people" must think Criminals have RESPECT for the law...and actually fear the legal consequences...when in fact they only fear the BIG STICK consequances...especially if they can just skitter back across the border (to freely come/go).

Where's John McCain now ? This is his state afterall, is it not ? :rolleyes::uhh:
Click to expand...

I am not sure McCain is a gun supporter!

He has not fired a weapon since he left the Navy and he has neer shown any true care as to what goes on with gun laws:confused: I am sure that AZ is saying it will only help us track murders and help us get the bad guy!

So everyone says yep, lets do it!

In the end, it cost you another few $$$ per a box. Or the ammo guys do what Barret did and says "Fuck you" we won't sell to your state now! I wonder how well that will work for all of their LEO's:confused:}:-)

You can get a seal a meal, it also works to preserve documents too, Place in bag and vacuum... Ammo actually seals up pretty good by it self. It is a good idea to rotate your stock any way. There is some pretty old military surplus that works fine. Only probably I ever had was some 1942 RG .303 that used cordite as a propellant. Seems the cordite had a shelf life. If it is cheap enough, one can pull components and reload.

Other thing, I shoot using a burm, Later I will mine the bullets. Cast bullets work, though a reduce load is used. There many ways to stop shooters from shooting and there are many ways to keep shooting.

Never underestimate human ingenuity. (either direction)
 
This time.

remember:

I'm still gonna get the seal-a-meal fired up. Lots of 12ga ammo, and some 30-06, and .40 to stash. Probably some .22 and 9mm for good measure.
 
seal o meal

a buddy of mine grandfather died and left him an old Colt 45 he used when he was in the Army.It had never been fired and was loaded for a lot of years. He and I took it out and fired it and the ammo was still in good working order and so was the 45 Is it really a problem? I have about a thousand rounds of 9 mil for my pistol everytime i take it out to shoot i buy double what i shoot to make up for it. Will the ammo really go bad?
 
Will the ammo really go bad?

The word I'm getting is "not really"...in other words, not in our lifetime, unless it gets contaminated in water, chemicals, heat/cold effects (expansion/contraction) etc.

But why take the chance?

I'm thinking that it would just be extra good measure to vacuum pack it.

Combine that statement with the possible "Cop Killer" ammo ban...and I guess we better start practicing Self Defense(legally) on moving headshot sized targets with our .380 (or LESS) ammunition. (or maybe "birdshot"?)
 
I did hear they're pushing this again on a National Level.
I will research into it more, and find out.
