Per Megan Kelly. Group of lawmakers charging this. Details pending.

They should consider the words attributed to Admiral Yamamoto:

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
- Yamamoto (allegedly)

Yep, and those law makers are so angry, they’ll probably write king Obama a letter.

In the meantime, they’ll make noise, without actually doing anything, until sometime around August 2014. When the election is in front of them, and they’re sure voters won’t forget, they’ll become all bold.

Eff them all.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Duh!!! Well that and preparing to war with all the domestic terrorist Evangelicals, Catholics and Tea Partiers.

[topher]

I would agree.

Make it harder to get and drive the price up.

That way people who want to legally buy ammunition are prevented from doing so.

It is the same reason that Fast and Furious had the purpose of being an intentionally botched operation to help promote gun control legislation.

Obama, Hillary, Holder, and friends are out to take your guns!

Meanwhile, criminal types will be allowed to illegally own guns that they have stolen or used in crimes.

Some wiser gun owners are already sitting on so much ammo that they're in danger of cracking the concrete slab of their house's foundation from the weight of stacked ammo crates.

Meanwhile, other gun owners gather at their local WalMart sporting goods counter at 6:00am hoping to get their hands on two rationed boxes of some kind of ammunition.

I sleep well at night.

[Argus]

Hey, this opens up all kinds of possibilities for the tyrants. They want to get around the First Amendment - buy up all the ink and paper, silicon chips and TV time. Illegal searches and seizures? No problem - just call it a “Lockdown”. Some old parchment doesn’t need to get in the way of Fundamental Transformation anymore.

[molson209]

is it buy and destroy ?

[Jonty30]

I think it’s more likely that the same politicians and bureaucrats, who are buying the ammo, will try to engineer an event so the can use that ammo.

[virgil]

Nothing new here. Taxpayer money is being misappropriated. No big deal. /sarc.

[LouAvul]

If you go to gunbroker.com you see there is no shortage of ammo or reloading components. If you’re willing to pay the price. Personally, I’m not desperate enough to pay $100 for 1000 primers. Yet. Whenever I run through my existing stockpiles, maybe.

[drypowder]

when the US government is clearly governing against the people by acting in full-out lawlessness and clearly using tax money to constrain liberty and circumvent the American people thus causing harm to the people (making war on the people), is it still a legal body according to the Constitution? The whole intent of the Constitution was for the people to exercise the right to restrain government power and to take physical action against such a government. Thus, by Constitutional Law, it legalizes the American citizen to take up arms against those in government under these very circumstances being perpetrated by this administration.

Went to a big flea market thuis weekend and couldn’t find one pressure cooker for sale!I bet the Feds are going to corner the market on them too!

[The Cajun]

Can't think of too many people here who haven't figured this out.
Gun control, plan *B*.
I haven't went to the range in nearly 2 months myself.

[stuartcr]

Who is shooting up all the .22 and .38spl?

[Digger]

Yep, and those law makers are so angry, they’ll probably write king Obama a letter. In the meantime, they’ll make noise, without actually doing anything, until sometime around August 2014. When the election is in front of them, and they’re sure voters won’t forget, they’ll become all bold. Eff them all.

Right On! Right On!

I was lucky, I found 2000 WLR primers for $74

[dartuser]

When your backorder of 25k primers finally comes in ... that is when you place an order for another 25k.
