black powder and primer to quickly and significantly boost production

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.

It's simple. Time was when owning a gun was a right that went
unquestioned and even children grew up owning and using guns (not to
mention knives, and pointy sticks) as a matter of course in most American
towns. But America turned from rural to urban. And politicians always
seek to bring as much power as they can to themselves. Guns are power.
Ask Mao.

So now we have the very president of the United States and even his wife
attempting to register all gun owners, ban various styles of firearms
clearly determined by the supreme court, to be a RIGHT that may not be
infringed and issuing executive orders that have done such illegal acts
as straw sales and thousands of firearm transfers to drug gang in Mexico
as well as stockpiling arsenals of weapons and vast piles of dumdum
bullets that are illegal in war, to be used on who? All of this is
irrefutable!

So is it any wonder that quiet little tx.guns has suddenly had an
invasion of dirty tricksters with a political agenda? Sorry, dude, but
politics is loud, it's dirty, and it's filled with lies. That's just the
profession. The reason one has to engage the tricksters is because if you
don't the public assumes their spew is truth. So just like running for
elected office, each false charge MUST be answered or you lose. They know
that and we know that.

And if we lose, America loses. So yes, it' s loud, nasty, dirty,
disgusting business, but it's ignored at your own peril.
