Talk about a lot of guns being sold in the US at this point in time. No wonder ammo is in short supply. Ammo manufacturers need to crank up the output!

...Law abiding US citizens bought on average 3,177,256 guns every 3 months in 2008....

...You also bought 1,529,635,000 rounds of ammunition in just the month of December 2008. Yeah that is right, that is Billion with a “B”....

Why?

Just because people buy a ton of guns does not mean they are going to go Rambo on targets at the range every few days despite the fantasies of rabid gun nuts.


And if they crank up ammo it will only crash prices even further.

I thought it was paranoia/preparedness directed at Obama that spurred this. If that is so, I don't see the point of cranking up output to give people ammunition they aren't really using.

we "nut jobs" intend to have enough ammo and firearms on hand to put up at least a meager resistance when the fuhrer orders Der Wehrmacht to storm our homes and forcibly take our "contraband".

think it cant happen?

... no of course not - the government doesnt do anything against the rules in America :shifty:

I've purposely put "paranoia/prepardeness" in my post to get myself out of an argument. Do you want me to switch it around or something? :O:

Perhaps we wouldn't have to buy so many guns if we'd just stop buying them at Wal-Mart.

here's me thinking you got them guns at the local supermarket.

''Almost finnished kids, I just need to go to the gun section to purchase a 2 pack of shotgun ammo and get one for free deal. Dad's been shooting a lot lately especialy since katy got in her teenage puberty and brings her punk ass friends home sneeking it in through a window at 0100 am in the morning.''

What good does it do to own a gun if you don't have any bullets?

Gun stores all across our nation are reporting low inventories of bullets and they supply problem even extends to the US Army.

Go ahead google it ... I'm in the middle of another problem right now trying to find face masks and gloves for the swine flu on it's way north.

jail?

you dont know gun owners do you? :D

I would rather die a thousand times a free man, than live once a coward slave... if you call that living. :doh:

just remember to all the naive - when the government disarms you - you are no longer a citizen... you're a subject

Haven't you heard?

This "lack of ammunition" is the latest attack on your constitutional rights!
You can have all the guns you want, but ammo is being severly restricted.

I guess you'd have to be part of the lefto pinko commie conspiracy to know about it. You can thank me later for the tip off.

No bullets = no more ability to stop the creeping socialism that threatens to swamp all decent God fearing Americans in a wave of SLAVERY!

Buy all the ammo you can right now! Stock up folks, you never know when there will be a "manufacturing" problem at the factory.....
