Ammo and Stupid
Today I was informed that Obama made the price of ammo go up.

I'm sure that people who sell ammo hate to make a profit and only sell the stuff for the purpose of maintaining 2nd Amendment Rights.

The answer suggested was to separate the US into Red and Blue regions so the Red regions would be better off.

It's like watching a stupidity contest.

1. You're talking about using tracers in the power and/or slugs?

2. The right wing
Is going to try and blame Obama for everything! Prices go up, it's Obamas fault. Economy is bad, Obamas fault. To much snow, has to be Obamas fault. To much sun, it's Obama again. The right doesn't know what to do since the party is in shambles, so now it looks like the biggest idiot on the right, Rush Limballs is speaking fro the "party" and the republicans in congress are following his lead, which is to blame Obama for everything, and not vote for anything he wants no matter how bad the country is doing. As you said, it's just plain stupid!

I think Obama is doing a great job of giving them enough rope so they will hang themselves!

3. The good news is that the people buying most of that ammo
have had their cars repo-ed and can't travel very far to go on a killing spree. In fact, most of them are religious RW Americans who only end up killing their family, their employers and themselves, all of who live in red states.

Sounds like a win-win to me. ;)

5. My SO belongs to a gun board and this is my take on this,,,before Obama was
elected they where screaming "he's gonna take our guns" so the idiots went out and bought up a shit ton of guns. Now they are crying "he's gonna raise the price of ammo so no body can afford it." Well of course the manufacturers and the NRA are doing this. They are playing their politics of fear again. Just tell them that it's their free market economy at work! It's called supply and demand!
Another thing they are trying to hoard is small rifle primers. They are bitching because they are hard to come by in certain places. Well guess what our military uses? Now it seems to me they are pretty unpatriotic if they are hoarding things our military needs.

6. Price of ammunition and ammunition components
has been going up for several years. Our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, require large quantities of the stuff.
