What DHS is doing is driving up market demand which will cause an increase in production and eventually a glut on the market.
This is important. They are collaborators.
That comment reveals an immense quantity of ignorance to the facts involved in the matter.
You folks who choose to believe that DHS has ordered one billion, six hundred million rounds of hollow point ammunition (known as B6ers) to kill each American several times, fall into the same type group as the Y2K doom mongers and Global Warming hoaxers.
Each of those groups has formed their own faith based religion based upon junk science, unsupported rumors and other pure nonsense. They covet any information or rumor that tends to support their beliefs and angrily reject any contrary facts.
I will not waste my time attempting to educate you with relevant facts. Instead, I suggest that you go out and purchase all of the over priced guns and ammo that you can find. That is good for the economy.
Actually, those things will make good bartering goods that might well be traded for food when the economy finally collapses.

The Most Serious Threat to Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms [Gary Marbut]

============= Excerpt: ==================
“Without ammunition, ammunition components, and especially smokeless powder, our firearms are just awkward and expensive clubs – of no real use.”
“You may not know that there are only two facilities in the U.S. today that manufacture smokeless powder. All the rest is imported, from Canada, from Australia, from Scandinavia, from Israel, and elsewhere.”
“The sole two facilities in the U.S. are the General Dynamics plant in St. Marks, Florida, and the Alliant/ATK plant in Connecticut.”
Very recently, Army brass was again found to be sent for crushing and recycling. The following is from several years ago.

Don’t forget that DHS makes huge awards for the ammo to the large defense contractors who then make the purchase from the actual suppliers. I can’t buy 9mm ammo from any supplier so they are all totally locked up by these big orders. Also, the ammo suppliers can say that they aren’t “delivering” the ammo to the DHS.
The logical argument I've had for weeks now, not echoed anywhere else I've seen, is that the obfuscation by various government talking heads and government policies are creating an atmosphere whereby the market is creating its own shortfall. In short, the "Sunstein Effect".
My conclusion is that this is infringing my right and others' to bear arms (no ammo results in a club).
Ergo, this is government policy/actions violating Americans' Constitutional Rights on an unprecedented level in history.
