    Monday through Friday, old timers who are retired stand outside of every gun shop in town an hour before they open, and wait. Shop opens. They descend on the place like a swarm of geriatric locusts and buy everything. They go home, place it on the mountains of ammo/reloading supplies they have no intent on using. The rest of us who have to work all week swing by said shops on the way home from work, or on the weekends when we have a free minute. Everything is gone. All of it. Not a single God damned round or reloading component left, except some goofy, odd shaped "self defense" pistol ammo nobody has ever heard of, at $87 for a 20 round box, and a dusty, returned bag of twice-fired, berdan primed 303 British from Pakistan.

    Fast forward a year. SCOTUS fucks us all and Biden/Harris end up in the White House. It's absolute pandemonium across the country. Patriots, aka Washington's Slayers, have been in the streets going full 1776 against ANTIFA and BLM, aka commie faggots. The good guys are running low on everything. They are quickly realizing that their few thousand round stashes from the good old days when the God Emperor Trump ruled the land, don't last very long when you're peeling back Maoist muffin caps like hotcakes. Nobody has been able to get anything gun related ever since the chongers sneezed their bioweapon all over the planet. Its worse than the worst gun and ammo shortage of the Obama years. The aforementioned old timers end up passing away peacefully in their sleep. They picked a great time to check out, God rest their souls.

    Their kids get their affairs in order and start digging through all their shit. Turns out their kids are all liberal shitbirds with purple hair and enough hardware in their faces to set off a metal detector at the airport before they've even left the parking garage. All of them have matching "Feel the Bern" tattoos, a penchant for Kombucha from Whole Foods, and they all smoke American Spirits. They find the stockpile of ammo and reloading components. They gasp. "How could Grandpa have stockpiled all this evil stuff? We have to get rid of it," one says. "I always knew Grandpa was evil," the other says. "He always talked about killing japs and said they deserved a lot more than Fat Man and Little Boy. He even told me once that we should have listened to General MacArthur, whatever that means. He always said America is the greatest nation ever to grace the planet, and the Constitution is the greatest document ever written, second only to the Bible. Grandpa was everything my Genderstudies Professor warned me about!"

    The libfuck kids have waste management bring in a dumpster for clean up. They throw all of it in there: hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammo. Hundreds of thousands of CCI BR2s, CCI 200s, Federal 215Ms, magnum, small rifle, pistol primers, you name it. Hundreds of pounds of H1000, H4350, Varget, Retumbo, RE15, IMR4064...All of it...gone. They pile on a bunch of hardwood, hand built furniture, from the turn of the 19th century, on top of all of it. "Cover it up with this shitty furniture. Clearly Grandpa wasn't a fan of fair trade either, or he would have bought all his furniture from Ikea," they say. "Now no evil Trump voter white supremecist can ever get their dirty racist hands on any of this stuff." They call waste management to pick up the dumpster. It gets hauled off to the landfill, never to be seen again. The commie scum drives off into the sunset in their Toyota Prius, powered by strawberry douche.

    Anyways, I'm going to get another cup of coffee. I fully expect to be banned for this post, by the time I get back to my computer. Its been real, boys.
     
    Of course our old timers are going to go out in a blaze of glory in a pile of hot brass and a smile on their face from having a heart attack from getting to much joy from smoking libtard commies

    i think you’re delusional if you think this is from retired folks stockpiling.

    i have news for you.....if you are so fucking shortsighted that you had your pants around your ankles, and your ass in the air for the entire world to get a piece of, that’s your own fault.

    there has been shortage after shortage in recent times illustrating the problems in the demand/supply chain. the first time it happened, i could understand folks being surprised by it, as something like that had never happened before. 2008 i believe is the first time i saw it. there have been mulitiple dry spells since. and then things went back to normal.

    anyone that got caught shorthanded after the first time, the blame is fully on the guy looking at them in the mirror. to blame a retired person, or others who saw this shit coming LIKE YOU ShOULD HAVE is dumb. and it says far more about you than it does anyone else.

    i hope you find a solution to your shortage ASAP. good luck and God bless you.
     
    It’s 100% satirical, gents. Any patriot with a stockpile of anything gun related is a true blooded American, and alright in my book. And by the looks of things, we may be putting it to use in the near future.
     
    Or scenario 2. The waste management guy happens to need a chair, moves it, and sees a treasure trove of epic lyric writing style good fortune beneath the furniture. He unloads the whole lot into his garage before returning the dumpster. It goes back into the buddy circulation of: Bob has a 10mm, Ron a 454, and Kessica and her dumb husband need some 6.5 grendel. You may not still have primers, but The General assembly is again armed because Waste management Joe realised the job opening at the landfill was better than a 4 year gender studies degree, and knows the CCI logo when he sees it.

    Anyone who works in trash collection or has a friend in trash collection knows THIS is exactly what would happen. 90% of garbage men are epic hoarders. I say that with nothing but love. I have a few friends who work for the local disposal company and they always find the best shit in the trash. πŸ‘πŸΌ
     
    During the Obamanation shortage, we had two guys (one retired, the other self employed) wait out in front of Walmart every morning. When the doors opened, they would head straight for the gun counter, and buy every thing that was stocked overnight. Typically it was all the powder and primers, and all the .224 and .308 cal bullets.
    Fast forward to 2018. One of the hoarders, wants to move back to Iowa, sells his home, and liquidates his stock. All the locals get powder, primers, bullet's at wholesale prices.
    I'm still shooting that cheap$$$ Varget in my BRA.

    Walmart sells reloading supplies? In what state?

    dang it I need to add that to my rounds

    Colorado. Not every store does, but the two near me do carry reloading stuff. Until recently, they would routinely have two or three 1-lb bottles of Varget, H4350, IMR 4064, and H1000 on the shelf. Not discount Walmart pricing, but still available. It was hit/miss on good primers, and the bullet selection was typically geared towards hunting bullets, with the occasional box of 69-gr SMKs or 30 cal Hornady match bullets.

    Depending on where you are, you might be able to have a pretty comfortable lifestyle from furniture to groceries to transportation by collecting and re-using what other people were just going to throw out.

    For sure. My buddy finds all sorts of good stuff. His best so far (from one pickup) is a nearly complete set of Snap-On wrenches, a Craftsman 18v impact with a couple spare batteries, and a bunch of misc. other specialty mechanics tools in excellent working order.

    Dillon Precision had a story along the lines of the OP a few years ago. It was published in their catalog "The Blue Press" in 3 parts in 3 consecutive issues. It was somewhat sobering. Worth the read if you come across it.

    Thank you,

    I used to drive for a garbage company in a college town in the Appalachian Mountains. Between the hillbillys, working folks, rich retirees and college kids with rich parents, you never knew what you would find.

    Great area to go garage saling on the weekends as well. I was newly married, dirt poor and not too proud. Stuff I found in the trash that I needed allowed more money to go toward food.

    God's provision during that time was the most obvious I had ever seen it.

    At that time the asshole employees at my local walmart would HIDE all the ammo in the store, then buy it themselves when they got off shift, post up craigs list ads and sell it for 4x the price themselves.

    No one got to buy any from walmart directly and the store manager didn't care.

    You could however meet up with the walmart employee right in the parking lot and pay 4x the price for 22 ammo

    1. Who still buys ammo from Walmart? They've been overpriced since the Internets started selling ammo.
    2. Who doesn't know how to order ammo on the internets? They carry it to your front door for you. Fuck, they'll send you an email or text when it comes in stock.

    Somebody didn't live through the Obama shortages and it shows. 🀠

    Is this fan fiction of some sort? What is going on?
     
    Ain't gonna happen at FM's place.
    My kids know what to do.
    It will start as "Range Day" and take what they are allotted by Pa to shoot for fun then divvie up what is left.
    They will get every primer, like a Jew going afer a penny dropped in a crack in the dirt and dig until they find it.
    That is how I raised them.
    Everyone will go home happy with shit to shoot next time they are together when they pop a top in rememberance of the Old Fart.
