Gun Show Follow Up

As requested, here's the follow up for the gun show. My friend and I always go to the gun shows when they are within driving distance. They're usually packed, but nothing like we saw on Saturday. They had the endloaders with the snow plow attachment plowing the grass. Anywhere that people could park (even blocking the road) was used. We got there, and of course there were 100 signs saying wear a mask per the mayor's orders. The mayor's orders ran out and the faggot doesn't have the power to do that anyways. So we played the stupid game and wore a mask as we went to pay. Right as you walked in, there was a table of 3 cops checking everyone's weapons as they came in. I still CC mine anyways, but it's concealed so no one knows its there. About 3 minutes into it I can't breathe so I took off my mask. I looked around, and about 60% of people didn't have a mask on. It was so tightly packed, that there were lines formed at every table to review the wares. It was a 35,000sf building so pretty large. Now on to the selection... It was shit. Everything was ridiculously over priced. Even the "deals" were way above current list price. For example, I saw 50rnds of 556 going for $110. 9MM was being sold for $80 for 50rnds. 150rnds of green tip was going for $330. Keep in mind, I just bought 150rnds for $130. Despite all of that, they were selling firearms like crazy. Almost everyone leaving was walking out with one. About an hour of being there, one of the cops came over the loud speaker reminding everyone that they need to wear a mask or the event won't be able to come back. Everyone put their masks back on, and about 5 minutes later they were all off again. Also, there were probably 30 cops there walking up and down the aisles.

9MM was being sold for $80 for 50rnds

Welcome to the (west) European nightmare, where when you even get the fragile grace of having the right to have a gun, you are discouraged to get one by your wallet.

I want to look into reloading. I think that would be the only way forward. Plus, you could easily trade 500rnds for a firearm. I also want to look into getting a 3D printer. I just do not know if one of the $250 ones would be good enough to build a receiver with.

I was doing the same thing, but good luck being able to find primers right now for a reasonable price. There's a current backorder on existing orders to the big manufacturers that's running almost 12 months

A million people have already had this idea, and actually got off the couch to do it. You won't find reloading materials.

The time to buy was two years ago. You buy an umbrella when the sun is shining, not when it's raining.

Funny anecdote, a german politcan was investigated and fined for inciting hatred against minorities by posting a pick of a reloading bench and saying "I want one of those" you have to consider that he had his "loicens" to have fire firearms and that the license was not for collecting or hunting but for sports shooting aka you go through tons of ammo.

What I am saying is, get into reloading and never give up your guns.

Btw is there a way/ is it feasible to make your own primers? because eventually they will go after that too.

Stamping the primer casings wouldn't be too much of a problem but getting the powders/chemicals will be a bitch in the future even / especially? in the US now.

Yes, you can make your own primers, anything that can be manufactured by industry can be made at home or by a cooperating community, but much easier to just reload spent primers. There are several videos giving the details, but in a nutshell, you pull the anvil out, use a nail set or other metal pin to flatten the dent back out from the inside, clean it well, and replace the primer material with about 3 stacked roll caps cut carefully to size. Then replace the anvil. It's a somewhat delicate operation, but doable. Stores are already pulling roll caps from the shelves though, with the usual BS excuses. I am sure there are pages, for now at least, that can give you the chemistry to make your own filler material.
