Gas $$

[JimT]

I paid $4.42/gallon for regular last night at a Shell Station. That was a shock. I think the price was $3.99 last time I filled up maybe 10 days ago.

Somebody is making money. Maybe time to buy some Shell Oil stock.

If this inflammatory response (much like the comments in the steel core ammo topic) was about gun rights I'm guessing it would have been immediately removed too?

Thanks for reviving this 3 year old thread. I must say I don't see the thread you quote as being inflammatory or in any way correlative to the steel core issue you cite.

However, if you read thru this thread you must be struck by the fact that most of the "hair on fire" predictions made have not come to pass, not to mention the specious explanation of how the oil market works in the real world.

I especially like this one:

"Unfortunately, nobody is entitled to cheap gas, least of all us Americans, who pay some of the lowest prices for gas in the developed world. The high gas prices have little to do with politics but more with global supply and demand, which goes up up up every year. Combined with the fact that there's not a lot of "slack" in the system and you have high prices and volatility.


I find it hard to believe that the prices we are paying per barrel would not come down if we started drilling into "our" reserves and building more refineries.


Why would it come down? Even if they could pump from a perminantly refilling pool of crude we would still pay super high prices. They would give a thousand reasons for the high costs. In the end we will pay for their greed."


On second thought, maybe what you were trying to point out by resurrecting this thread is how ill informed some people can be when it comes to controversial topics they do not have all of the facts about yet feel compelled to forge ahead making statements and predictions as if they are supremely educated on the subject when they are not?????

What I was saying is very simple. Many of the statements about the "steel core 5.56 ammo ban" currently being considered have been far less inflammatory than the one quoted but have been removed and the topic locked. I see this as an important topic that deserves discussion. This is just the beginning of the attack against guns and concerns me. I know they're not taking away everybody's 6br's so most see it as "no blood, no foul" but there's a broader underlying movement.
