How hard is it to add a second or third shift ? The way you talk we should get rid of 'the current administration'.

I said no such thing. I just said that, having been in office for 3.5 years, the current administration shares some of the blame. To place all the blame of clintoon isn't truthful, not I didn't say he did not share in the blame just that he wasn't the only one responsible. And last time I check, President Bush didn't ok ammo orders, someone lower in the Military does. THEY should be brought to task.

"How hard is it to add a second or third shift ?" 1.2 million cartridges/yr=5000/day (250 workdays/yr). A single amateur with a progressive reloading press could do 2000 per day, IF THERE ARE COMPONENTS (brass, bullets, primers) in quantum satis. Since even a primitive electric machine could do 8000/hr, their problem must be with components, not with assembly. And automated components lines should be making way more than 5000/day. Maybe there is a typo somewhere - 1.2 billion/yr?
