Default out of ammo

So I walked into the Columbia, Mo BassPro today to look at a couple of handguns. I make my way back to the counter and before I get there I see this almost completely empty aisle. I think to myself 'thats funny, why would they have an empty aisle'. Then I realized it was the ammunition aisle ... they were sold out of almost everything. All the pistol ammunition was gone and most of the rifle ammunition was gone. The only thing they had plenty of was shot gun ammo. Darn gun hating president has everybody stocking up while they can still buy it.

Soon enough makking your own Ammo wil not be able to happen either. You got to think who is in Head of the ATF now Eric Holder. I'm sure you heard about the Not being able to recycle the brass now after it's spent. It's going to put Ammo Manufactures out of buisness.

Yeah... Uh... That was withdrawn... So, its mute point. And the AWB, yeah, that was shot down as well, like, weeks ago. In fact, Democrats were one of the big groups (like 56 of them) that said it was absurd. Even Pelosi was against it (must be an election coming up).

Guys spreading these rumors are as bad as the Main Stream Media, they use scare tactics to get you to do whatever they deem necessary. Like, write or call to your representative for something thats long gone.

Should you still call to support your Second Amendment Rights? Absolutely, but you should call for the right reasons. If everyone called to say they don't want their Rep to support the coming AWB, congress would think us gun owners are a bunch of dumbass hillbillies who don't keep up with current legislation. Is that really what we want?

And Speaksup, Holder is NOT the Director of the ATF. Michael Sullivan, the REPUBLICAN, currently is. He has been for a number of years now, and although he hasn't been appointed by Obama yet, he is still heading it. Currently, the Republicans in Congress are opposing him as the new Director. Just getting facts straight.

With all of the rumors floating around, a lot more people are going to start taking up arms against the government. It seems like it is going to get a lot worst before it gets any better. But since I shoot at my own range in my backyard, there really isn't anything they can say to me reloading my own, until I have to buy more brass. But with all the brass I have now, I should be good for many years to come.

Hope you have powder, primers, and bullets to go with brass, because if they really wanted to go after it, that's how they'd do it. If you had enough powder and primers to last you a few years, you'd need Haz-Mat equipment, and licenses...

But as I said, at this point everything is safe so far.
