With 70 million guns sold recently, I'm assuming it is too much
consuming of a limited product. I would want at least 200 rounds to go
with my new purchase, and at least 1000 rounds for my .22 caliber
guns.

Doing the math makes for an astronomical amount of ammo.

And gun manufacturers get their money back from the NRA ;O)

CA-CHING.

You libtards and your 100% irrational fantasies are hilariously
stupid. Gun manufacturers pay for ads in the NRA publications.

Damn dude, you are one gullible fool.

You the one paying for it. Ca-Ching.


Once again, you express a delusional fantasy about me. Why?

At least you admitted I am right about who pays who.

People need to remember that things, these days, are rarely what they
seem.

Why would tx.guns be any different? Hmmmmmmmm?


There was a time not long ago when tx.guns was small, quiet, and sort of
on topic. Then assholes started moving in, and they were engaged rather
than KF'd. Maybe like r.g.edible.
