The first type, the unholy hoarder, and for the sake of this blog and my resentment I am referring to the ammunition hoarders. More specifically the lower dredges of ammunition hoarders, the ones who hoard out of greed for they self, against thy neighbor. Some hoarders aren't so bad, and will even hook you with rounds, or they will even let you know when a sweet deal is going down. We all hoard to some degree or another, but to lose our inner humanity, our kinship with fellow enthusiasts, now that crosses the line! A video to illustrate lines that should be crossed.
However, there are those f*&^ers that buy up every last bit of ammunition. They can and do regardless of price or concern for others. Which by the way helps to inflate the already agitated price of various ammo's. They are controlled by their misplaced fear that they will never see another round of ammunition again, and that they can be the only ones with the that supposed last bit of ammo. Skeletor should take some notes from these rat bastards. These exact people are the ones that are to blame for the absolute lack in ammunition at time of blogging. They purchase thousands of rounds of ammunition whenever, and wherever they can find them, with absolutely no intent to resell or share. Ask them to sell you a little bit of their incredibly massive treasure trove, and they will sneer and cast wanton eye upon thee. On top of their other obnoxious behaviors, you will also find that these folks are incredibly ill-informed of current politics, and generally can't accept or refuse to accept whats actually happening. These panicky, fear-mongers also have a knack for spreading their filth of a religion, the likes of which might impress the Westboro Baptist Church. An example, Joe McTurdinstein hears that there might be a ban on certain type of firearm, immediately he speculates that for some absurd reason that magically translates into a ban on all types of ammo. Which might seem realistic to those untrained in the ways of calibers of weapons. These folks are at very least knowledgeable enough to know that a potential ban on a type of weapon, by no means equates or signifies an ammunition ban. Simply put, a single caliber can be used by many various and different types of firearms, thus banning a specific caliber type of ammunition would be incredible preposterous and I'm sure the republicans would shit a brick castle before they would let any sort of legislation of that kind go through. Anyways, he buys several thousands rounds of ammunition and continues to do you so with whatever wealth he possesses and near-future income. This signals to others that they need to band-wagon with Mr.Turdinstein, and before you know it, there is an ammo shortage crisis which instills further panic buying and hoarding.
The second type, the price gouger, these guys are fairly prevalent and rat-esque, also huge d-bags. The reason they exist is effectively because of the ill-formed notions of the unholy hoarder. These guys, they operate on one principle. That is they buy a ridiculous amount of ammo at normal prices, wait for the panic to propagate to frenzy state and sell said ammo at an incredibly f#$ing high and absurd price. As it sells, and it does, it only further fuels the fire of this bogus state of false inflation. Their only goal is to make as much money as possible, and quickly before the panic buying comes to a certain cease fire. They are similar to the hoarder in that they could give two shits about the rest of us, in fact they hope this panic continues, so they can continue their horrendous gouging ways. All these f#$s want is to make money, I guess who doesn't, but at what expense?! Taking advantage of and fueling a scarcity of ammunition is not cool, not cool at all, especially on the false pretenses of this particular one. For a great example look in The Chronicle, in the Bargain Box, anyone that is currently selling ammo in the bargain box is mostly likely selling it at an incredibly inflated price and they deserve a swift kick to the nut-sack.
Phew, a deep breath and huge swig of stout later...
THE BEER OF THE WEEK:
Today I have for you a brand spanking new beer to my workplace its called Dragonstooth Stout by Elysian Brewing, out of Denver, CO. This especially tasty beverage is an Imperial Oatmeal Stout. It is absolutely delicious, its dark and robust, with minimal hints of that coffee flavor that I despise. A quick note about the adjective Imperial. All Imperial means is that they increased the alcohol percentage level to fit that of the consumption beliefs of Americans. In short, it refers to the fact that Americans like stronger beer, and that it incorporates an old recipe from across the pond with an American twist. For example, Guinness notoriously amps up their beer they sell to Americans. They make it stronger because they know our need for strong beer is insatiable, and to fail to strengthen
their beer would make them weak in our sweet, sweet Yankee eyes.
