Why doesn't this ever happen to me?

Crap...they were in my house? I better take the long way home.

[fso301]

I wonder if the stuff was put there for them to find? Drug dealers do that all the time to help out officials on the payroll.

I guess this means my shipment will be delayed...

Hereabouts, we have a word for a list like that.

We call it “ A Good Start.”

That sounds like it could mean 470 loaded magazines for each firearm I'm extremely envious

[bitterohiogunclinger]

Obviously some of those vast right wingers hoarding ammo. I still can’t find primers.

[paul51]

I'll give the reporter a passing grade for not calling them clips but he could have gotten a B+ if he knew the difference between bullet and cartridge

No wonder 9mm is so hard to find around here. :)

That’s a lot of trips to Wal-Mart.

[Lazamataz]

That’s really a very modest American collection.

I’m not buying that for a second.
