Soooo, take a quick check and verify what I said earlier like Greg

usually does for me... I don't make this **** up, even if you don't

like

the way I present it.





You ignorant little ****, do you even read what you post before you

post

it and then claim "facts" not in play?



From your article:



Local law enforcement face ammo shortage as gun owners, DHS stock up



Published March 23, 2013



| FoxNews.com





Ammo *is* in short supply, an artificial situation caused by gun

owners

and ammo manufactuers, the former because they are just plain stupid

sheeples and the latter because they see a way to make extra bucks.



Who is a stupid sheeple? Your buddy Herring, for one, who apparently

drives over to Wal-Mart every morning to see if he can buy five more

boxes of ammo.



If the DHS wants to buy a boatload of ammo over the next five years,

it

will contract directly with the manufacturers, and the manufacturers

who

get the contracts will ramp up production of the calibers the agency

wants. There is no shortage of ammo manufacturers willing to suck on

the

government's teat for five years.

Heh. I just scolded him for the same thing. I think he reads the

headlines only, not the article.





It is embarrassing that Scotty even claims to have graduated from a

high

school in Connecticut.



=======================



What really surprises me is the number of reasonably well educated

people (meaning they should be able to read and comprehend) who share

Scott's paranoia regarding guns and ammo shortages. Not all, but

some people I talk to or meet when I go to the range talk the same

talk and some are lawyers or other educated professionals. There are

a few obvious "preppers" here and there, but not many. Most of the

conversations center on types of firearms, experiences with them,

likes and dislikes, etc., but I am still surprised at the number of

people who think the government is plotting to take away their right

to own a gun.

We went through all that when a previous Liberal Gov't brought in long arm registration a number of years ago. We already had fairly restrictive handgun controls.
People pointed to Australia.. claimed that the gov't was going to first force us to register and then take our firearms.
I registered and I still have my 20 ga shotgun and my 22 cal semi-auto rifle with 6x scope.
Our current Conservative govt just abolished the firearm registry last year.
Handguns are still heavily restricted, of course.


Canadians and Canadian gun laws are far more rational than Americans and
American gun laws.
