So, if what you're saying is true, we should all just cash it in because we have lost already. Having retired from civil service, I find it hard to believe that the majority right staff I worked with have all changed their loyalties in the last four years. Isn't it more likely that SOME of the government is corrupt, but not every employee of every office of every branch of government? Really? Your DMV clerk is a rabid leftist now? Of course, your next comment is to question the veracity of my statements because I was civil service and, as such, tainted by every leftist from Woodrow Wilson on down.

Be kind. She hasn't come out yet.

Knock off the testosterone injections, Amy.

Yeah, but I'd be willing to take a loss :D.

And Obama jumped in a closed it immediately, repealed the Patriot Act, and reaffirmed everyone's civil rights, RIGHT? BTW, can you tell me the difference between locking up someone who speaks against the government and a terrorist who kills Americans?

Most of the shortage is attributable to first time gun owners purchasing ammo for their new guns and "gun people" hoarding in fear of tighter controls. You can choose to accept that, or develop your own theory. There are more serious issues to deal with, however.

DHS just purchased nearly 2 billion rounds OF ONE CALIBER. 15 billion rounds per year are produced in this country in a number of calibers, from .22 to 50 BMG. 2 billion rounds of .40 S&W, which they bought, exceeds one year's production, HOWEVER, it was a multi-year contract, spread over five years. Not really unreasonable, just surprising.

No, he said it's against the Geneva Conventions to use hollow point bullets. The Geneva Convention applies to international combat, that is, warfare. Soldiers cannot use hollowpoint rounds, further, they are inappropriate for use against armor. The will expand and not penetrate. The military uses jacketed, or "ball," ammunition. Hollow points expand rapidly in most media, and create immediate shock and trauma, resulting in "stopping power." They are highly appropriate in a law enforcement enviornment, where you are unlikely to encounter armor.
