I agree that proximity to the news flow makes journos tend to think that they're better-informed and smarter than other people (people's exhibit A: Sam Donaldson; exhibit B: Bryant Gumbel; and I'm sure you have others).

As for ammunition, I have enough, though I haven't yet availed myself of any bulk purchases in cans (my long-gun caliber is 7.62x54R, common as cockroaches worldwide). But I don't think the Shrub would pull something like that. The thought of the Gorebot running this show makes my blood run cold, though -- ugh!

I say that about Dubya, but let's keep in mind that he's a club member in good standing with the Yacht Club Wing of the GOP, and that political demographers (I can point you to the Newsweek story a few years ago, or you can find the survey data it was based on, on the site of the liberal Pew Trust's media agitprop group:

There is also a current article on the site detailing the defection of rural Democrats from the national DemonRat/liberal campaign for gun bans that you might find interesting. Damn those country people......just aren't tuned in to the Blue/Gorebot/slavemaster agenda. Must be all that clean air they're breathing; they think they're actually people!

Uhyuh....

As I was saying, before I got distracted by link-chasing, the business wing of the GOP, being businessmen, have been identified by political demographers (see the Pew site) as supporting gun control. There are no good reasons for supporting gun control and confiscation, so we must conclude perforce that the Wall Street Wing has a number of bad ideas, and bad impulses.

Businessmen tend to treat their employees badly, demanding they work harder and longer hours for less money, creating bell-curves and force ranks to pit them against one another, and so on; and so it's understandable that they would prefer to do more of this in a social environment that didn't include private ownership of firearms. Other than their own, of course. Hence the emphasis, put forward by gun-grabbers seeking consensus, on characterizing and demonizing inexpensive pistols. I could see Dubya turning around and going with the grabbers on small pistols.
