When I got my DCM Garand, I immediately went to a gunshow and acquired a large supply (this was pre Y2K and that hysteria was in full swing and I had just analyzed the Clinton EO's) of 30-06 AP and tracer and API (Armor Piercing INCINDIARY) and promptly loaded a bunch of Garand clips (not mags--clips..there is a big difference) with a healthy mix of these projectiles and to this day I have them still. Just in case.

In case of what? In case Hillary becomes President and gives the BATF national marching orders a la WACO. Does that make me a marginalized paranoid? Probably. But as a dedicated teacher of history, I'm also a student of history and the history of tyranny is entwined with gun control. It is ugly, bloody and often repeated...and we just never seem to learn!

Funny thing, but every one of these 'actions' by the BATF(E) which makes national news causes an increase in gun and ammo sales. Every attempt to legislate another facet of the RKBA away has the same effect.

Pre-Y2K, I picked up a few boxes of M2 ball, but haven't been able to get to a gun show to find anything more exotic. I sure won't be putting it on a credit card, if you catch my drift. Reckon an old bolt rifle will have to do, but you can see trouble coming from a long ways off in these parts.
