There is so much ammo around. Most of the guys I know who are into it are buying as much as they can afford.

I'm waiting for the Snopes to come out on this http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/ammunition.asp. Currently - undetermined.

A little light research shows that these acts were introduced in many states and all failed in 2008.

The status quo in the Southern United States is intact - guns and ammo are lightly regulated and sex toys are illegal.

I do have to laugh how conservatives are all for states rights except when it might impact their guns.

If the citizens in states want it and it is not counter to constitutional guarantees..they should applaud a state asserting its rights.

I can see your point. Sort of like the gay marriage issue in Calif that all the libs where jumping on as an issue?

Yep...very much the same in one respect.

The difference?

States rights has been a mantra of the conservatives since Reagan brought it back to life and made it popular again in the 80s.

the day they take away your ammo is the day you buy your first laser gun.

What I will never get is why the fact that the vast majority of crimes are committed with unregistered or otherwise illegally possessed guns is always totally ignored? All any of these efforts ever focus on is hindering law abiding people, and they have zero effect on those who are criminals to begin with.

Strike the idea down as a necessary precondition to an episode of genocide, and make the sponsors face recall elections. Then make them face more recall elections. Antigun people DO NOT AND NEVER CAN DESERVE POWER. These people are your own personal enemies, whether you recognize it or not -- their successes will kill your descendants. That's genocide's record.

Yup
It's getting to the point where "The right to bear arms" means wearing a tank top.
Someone should invent a personal 'force field'.
