Something to think about on ammo

from BRM:

In their latest e-circular, received yesterday, SG Ammo, my favorite suppliers, had this to say:

We have seen a sharp increase in consumer demand for bulk ammo orders over the past 8 days. Daily sales volume initially rose 25% to 35%, and now 35% to 45% over the past 3 days when compared to the daily averages of the first week of this month. This also represents an even larger increase from demand in December. While some of this should be expected, as the busy season for selling ammo is generally November to April with a peak in March as income tax refunds get spent, we feel that the elevated demand signals a widespread urge by the consumer to stock up on ammo. In my opinion, it would be wise to stock up now if you need ammo while depressed market pricing lingers from 2025 and before 2026 price increases from the factories begin to force widespread increases in the retail market.
Having worked part-time at a store, I watched people come in during the 'Mostly Peaceful Protest' years and the Virus Panic time who'd buy a box, shoot all or most of it, then buy another next time they came in; but now it was 
"I need a box of nine/.45/.38/whatever."
"We're out."  Followed by watching the panicked look on their face.  This being especially true when, watching the riot videos, they realized they had little or nothing of actual defensive type for their boomstick.  

This was followed by, when we got some, having it sell out in minutes, whether defensive or practice ammo and at whatever price(because, under that pressure,  the prices went up fast too).

Considering the insanity in a few places, it might well happen again.  So you might consider- if you don't already have some- getting some 'just in case' ammo set back.

Interesting piece on all the interest in Greenland, which includes

In a Fox News interview on Thursday, Denmark's foreign minister [finally admitted that] Trump has a point on China and Russia's threat to Greenland. Indeed, none other than the intelligence service of Denmark itself warned last year about Russian and Chinese military goals toward Greenland and Arctic.

My, it's like there's actual reason for talking about the US acquiring Greenland.

Remember a jerk named Don Lemon, used to be with CNN?

He's moved on to claiming the 1st Amendment give him and his clowns the right to, at the least, trespassing and- if they kept people from leaving and such- quite possibly kidnapping.

No, it doesn't, asshole.  And you and the others should be prosecuted.

This is more of the left playing "Whatever we do is free speech!" games to excuse what they do, including their violent acts.  And planning to kill people.  And excusing those already dead.
