“It's just unreal,” he said. “Somewhere in lots of basements around the country, there are millions of rounds of ammunition being stored.”

I get the warm fuzzies just thinking about it...

I’m still surprised that people appear to be surprised.

Tried to buy a couple boxes of .38 ammo the other day, and could not. The only thing the local Wal-Mart had were .22 shells. It’s never happened before here.

Dang! I wonder how much it would cost to set up an ammo factory.

Be careful when ordering large amounts.

tHe MSM wants everyone tobelive that record ammo purchases are a result of fear of Obama's coming arns and ammo confiscation. That is not true.

Half of America is getting ready to defend its freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights of our constitution.

What we see is a social movement dedicated to liberty, especially he first and second amendments, and the protection of property from theft and confiscation by our "leftist government." Half of America knows what Obama and the present administration represents: America has no representation.

The president and Congress do not pass laws or executive orders that are the will of the people. The people DID NOT WANT the huge omnibus TARP bail out. The American people do not want illegal aliens in our nation. The American people do not want the war on terror ripped from the jaws of victory. The American people do not want to abandon Israel and leave her to the dogs of Islamofascism. The American people do not want the nationalization of its banks and its auto industry. The American people do not want the President so called, to dictate to corporations who shall and shall not form its boards of directors, or their management.The American people do not want individual wealth accumulation to be ended and subject to government fiat. The American people do not want unions given majority share holder status in corporations using our tax dollars to purchase it.That list goes on, and on, and on.

And when our government fails as it creates the political , social and economic conditions for its own demise,and turns on its own citizens, half of us will be ready.

Its a social movement, a phenom whose symptom is the current record purchase of ammunition and small arms. Half of America is arming itself to the teeth. Half of American , the half that funds the hope and change for the other have, do not accept the so called "Hope and Change!"

That is the truth that the MSM does not want to reveal to the OTHER half of our nation that support this putrid excuse for a presidency,and a completely ineffectual congress, and their joint application of a Hegelian Dialectic in order to traduce and change America into a nationalist socialist state.

This will NOT stand.

Change the gun laws, ban guns, ban ammunition. Such laws will not be obeyed,just as the government now refuses to enforce immigration law now iin effect. Since we are no longer a nation of the rule of law, we will be quite ready to disobey any law that removes our freedoms and liberty, and the force of arms is now prepared to be exercised in that endeavor.That is the truth the MSM does not want to reveal.

Since we are no loner a nation of laws, the American people are preparing to enforce the laws that the executive branch refuses to enforce, or that the legislative branch refuses to pass according to the will of the people, hell they don;t even read many of the laws that are passed before they vote.

America is not afraid of the potential anti gun legislation of the Zero administration. They are hoping for it.

Ask yourself, Where is my weapon now, can I get to it in two seconds or do I have to go to the closet, load it before I’m ready to shoot. All the ammo and firearms in the world arn’t word much if you have to go look up your weapon. Be ready!

A point to remember: FACT: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

Are we positive that the ammunition is going to “Our” side???

Are assumptions being made based?

Is it possible that this never before seen demand on ammunition is going to the “civilian security force” or something similar?

Honestly, I know a lot of hunters and gun enthusiasts. None of them are buying ammunition in the quantities speculated about.

I think this needs to be looked at a little closer. Maybe its nothing, but maybe there is something there.

I think the sales boom is due to individuals anticipating future civil unrest.
