Inhofe: Obama Administration Trying To "Dry Up" Ammo Supply [AUDIO]

On Aaron Klein’s weekend show on New York City’s WABC radio, Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe accused the Obama administration of buying up ammunition at an unprecedented level to bypass the Second Amendment so gun-owners “can’t even buy ammunition because government is purchasing so much.”

I LOVE their statement on ammo shortages and personal preparedness!

AMMUNITION SHORTAGES AND PERSONAL PREPAREDNESS/RESPONSIBILITY First, understand that ammunition companies do NOT want ammo shortages, nor the frustration, sleepless nights and angry customers that come with shortages. Wondering how we will find enough ammunition components to keep our employees working and our customers happy, becomes a full time job and burden. So, ammo buying frenzies are not something ammunition companies desire. However we live in a time when you should simply know that ammo shortages will continue in America. These shortages may be an off-‐and-‐on situation, but they will continue. If you are not aware of that, it is because you are not looking at the society and politics around you. As a nation, we no longer trust our government, our neighbors, our dollar or the continuation of our once great American way of life. This situation has been brought upon us because we have allowed our government to incrementally destroy freedom through spending, taxing, regulating, class warfare, the institution of “entitlements”, central banking and legislating laws that violently attack the US Constitution. Plus, we are not safe from acts of terror, crime or the “fall-‐out” of natural disasters. Consider the below situations and ask yourself just how likely it is that we will have continued ammo shortages in America. 1. What will your politicians do when (not if, but when) another mentally ill shooter goes into yet another grade school and shoots down dozens of children? (Insert mall, Movie Theater, school bus, sports stadium, etc.) There is nothing stopping that mentally ill person from doing just that as most schools still have no armed guards and when it happens again, the US Constitution will get all but publicly burned by your liberal politicians and many of the conservative politicians will join them at that point. Think I’m wrong? As I write this, (03-‐21-‐13) the once conservative Rocky Mountain ranching and natural resource based state of Colorado, just passed New York style gun control measures yesterday! Politicians say that limiting the rights of law abiding, constructive citizens will somehow stop the mentally ill or criminally minded from harming folks and this sort of thinking by our elected representatives will continue to cause concerned citizens to buy ammo. 2. How bad will you need ammunition when the economy (not if, but when) goes into a full tail spin known as a depression? When riots happen in the streets because the welfare class can no longer be paid your tax dollars? When food, fuel and housing become unaffordable for many and thieves, looters, rapists and murderers proliferate our society and there is not enough law enforcement to help? If you have eyes and are using them, you can see this is bound to happen if our national fiscal policies do not get a major reform, which means the entitlement programs that your tax dollars are paying for, will have to stop as we are spending money we do not have and are deeply in debt—this debt must be answered, but it is growing so fast, it makes a run-‐ away train look placid. Do you yet see any politicians ready and willing to cut off entitlements? I don’t, so guess where we are headed? 3. When (not if, but when) Al-‐Qaida type terrorists actually make a very successful terror attack on US soil, what will happen with ammo sales? 4. When (not if, but when) natural disasters such as a major earth quake in Los Angeles or Seattle, another Katrina, a major volcanic eruption, or a crop destroying drought happens in one of Americas biggest crop belts, do you think folks will be trying to get ammunition? Obviously, they will. Most of us were old enough to pay attention to what happened in Louisiana when Katrina hit, but what if back to back Katrina’s hit 500 miles apart in the same month? Such a scenario is far from implausible. 5. Are you going to wish you had ammunition available when the UN gets called into this country on enforcement missions because of the failing society in our large cities that is taking place, because some or all of the above happens? I for one, won’t tolerate foreign government or their forces (the UN or NATO) taking control of my constitutionally guaranteed rights on US soil. As you can see, the perfect storm for ammo shortages is going to occur many times in this country. The combination of two or more of the above mentioned events, happening in unison, will have an impact that cannot be imagined. So please, when/if the current ammo shortage ends, DO NOT WAIT to stock up on more ammunition, hi-‐cap magazines and firearms than you think you’ll ever use. These items can always be sold or bartered, so under no circumstance is it money wasted. Hence there is no down side to being responsible and prepared by purchasing and storing ammo or related items, for your own welfare and the welfare of those you love. Unfortunately, it seems to be human nature to wait for a door to close, before they decide to walk through it…………….. You have become part of the problem when you wait for an emergency to take place, before you start looking for ammunition or other forms of preparation. Don’t be part of the problem. Instead, be part of the solution by becoming prepared far ahead of time-‐-‐it is a matter of prioritizing and being responsible. As an aside, those of you who live in cities need to have at least 30 days of drinking water on hand. Clean water supplies can instantly be shut down, destroyed or polluted, leaving millions of desperate humans with no way to survive. You should also consider storing some foods and if possible some fuels. Most important of these however, is the drinking water. Take care and God bless. Tim Sundle
