News / Politics / Activism Panic?

Just curious how many of you have upped your reloading/ammo/firearm supplies in the past year or so because of the current government. Personally they have "made" me get more than ever. Thoughts of a ammo cap limit and more restrictions. Im not saying people should do this im just curious and this post in no way is suggesting anything. So no hate please 😌

All of the bans have had a major cooling effect on my enjoyment of the sport & hobby for me. I still get out to shoot occasionally, but not nearly as much as I used to. Having a safe full of cope rifles that I can't use anymore has really left a bad taste in my mouth.

I didn't sign up for the buyback, so I'm just waiting out the amnesty before I decide how best to comply with the law. I stand to lose thousands on the various guns I bought and now can't use.

I'll still buy ammo top-ups from my local gun store, but I'm not keen to buy another gun if it's going to be at risk in the next 6 months because of another government decision.
