There’s a new online shop to buy ammo in bulk that all gun owners should know about.  This new site, bulkammo.com, does have plenty of ammo in stock at modest prices.  One example is 1,000 rounds of Aguila .380 FMJ ammo for $295.  Despite how expensive .380 ammo is, that comes out to only $14.75 a box of 50.  Upon a quick glance, they seem to have a wide variety of ammo in all calibers that are actually in stock and ready to ship.  The question remains as to how expensive their shipping rates are.

Saint Louis, MO – -(Ammoland.com)- As of this week, there is a new kid on the block whose specialty is bulk ammo.

BulkAmmo.com is a new online retail site that specializes in bulk ammunition for serious shooters.

The onsite navigation is designed for people looking to buy in large volume: especially law enforcement, military personnel, and other shooters who go through a lot of rounds.

Scattered around the YachtPals.com site, we’ve had a few lively discussions regarding bringing firearms aboard vs. other defensive weapons vs. nothing at all.  One of the most interesting aspects of the “debate” is that there doesn’t seem to be as hard a line drawn between boaters as there is between landlubbers.  Though there are certainly some extremists on both ends of the gun spectrum, most people understand both why and why not to have a gun aboard, thus providing further proof that boaters are generally more reasonable and intelligent than lesser primates.  So intelligent in fact that we thought we should bring up a few points from our readers for further contemplation and discussion.

Manassas, VA --(Ammoland.com)- We are now just a couple of months from the midterm elections and the political gamesmanship has begun to heat up.

It was former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson (a Republican) who declared that in America we have the Evil Party, and the Stupid Party, adding that he belonged to the Stupid Party.

For those committed to restoring and protecting the rights of gun owners, the labels are broadly accurate. While there absolutely are Democrats who are personally committed to individual rights, the Democrat Party itself is not only opposed to gun rights, they lie about it. There are two basic policy positions for Democrats on guns and they both start with politicians declaring, “I strongly support the Second Amendment.”

The Ruger SR9c, the first line extension in the SR9 striker-fired pistol, is the compact version of one of the slimmest and most ergonomic 9mm pistols on the market today.

BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)- A new Rasmussen poll showing a majority of Americans believe cities cannot ban handguns “goes along with what we have been saying, and what the Supreme Court affirmed,”the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

“The high court ruled in its 2008 Heller decision that the handgun ban in Washington, D.C. violated the Second Amendment,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and this week’s McDonald ruling incorporates the Second Amendment to the states. That effectively nullifies municipal gun bans nationwide. The court has spoken twice, and a majority of Americans concur.

“The recent Rasmussen survey also revealed,” he continued, “that only 35 percent of adults support stricter gun control, proving that gun prohibitionists are in the minority, and their influence is shrinking.”

Rasmussen conducted its survey earlier this week among 1,000 adults. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points. The survey also found that only 14 percent of the respondents who live with someone who owns a gun believe cities can ban handguns, while a whopping 80 percent say cities do not have that authority. Fifty-five percent of those without guns in the home also agree, Rasmussen said.
