Discover more here and ammo shortages via President Obama’s declaring war on the next Amendment may actually grow to be a chance for Preppers and survivalists for a number of reasons.

It’s a major tenet of preppers and survivalists to be resourceful and turn perceived problems into opportunities, and this current development with the proposed new gun laws is just such a problem.

This is not the first time that we’ve had a significant school shooting result in a bunch of insincere, opportunistic politicians to attempt to exploit the situation for political gain. Remember the federal assault weapons ban? It expired after 10 years. Remember when President George H.W. Bush banned the import of assault weapons in 1990.

The upshot (forgive the pun) of most this is that we’ve been here before and the chances are against anything really sticking once and for all. In just one month after President Obama signalled he was going to use his powers as President to issue Executive Orders to enact some gun control, the NRA increased its membership by way of a quarter million people.

Gun control is simply too much of a hot button issue for too many people for just about any real, meaningful measures to ever to obtain at night House of Representatives. However, what this problem and the debate has a proven capability to do would be to cause people to rush out and buy up guns and ammo.

Both gun shortages and ammo shortages demonstrate that the people want to be able to defend themselves which is truly a selling opportunity for anyone who has stockpiled supplies.

Now I recognize that it is blasphemy to suggest any prepper or survivalist would ever part with his guns and ammo. However, considering how much you truly need and how much you have, you may want to consider selling some now, when it could command an increased price because of the shortages, and resupplying once sanity is restored.

Yes, that means you are taking a chance that you might miss out if real gun control measures make resupplying impossible down the road. But do you really think that may happen? And do you really think that you will need a large number of rounds of ammo?

The normal infantry soldier includes a combat load of well under a thousand rounds. And if there is some type of societal collapse, you will want to be avoiding gunfights at all costs, so chances are you could have more ammo than you truly need.

One other thing to consider is how much food and water purification supplies you have stored up. These could be more of a priority but you’ve been waiting and soon you had more income to strengthen your supplies. The answer to your money problems may have just come with the ammo shortages.
