That's interesting.

 

[Inigoes]

As pleasant as this bill may sound, it's DOA.

The government does not like to constrain itself.

 

[Second Amendment]

So Inhof is quoted as stating that obongo is doing this on purpose to take ammo out of the hands of the public?

 

[Mr Bear]

While it sounds like a good idea, this would be a very tough sell to their peers. Good luck!

The only thing that would be harder to get passed would be term limits and pay freezes.

 

[Kman]

I won't feel safe if the gubmint doesn't have unlimited ammo.

 

[Mooseman]

I would love to see this pass, but I am doubtful.

 

[Sev89]

Hell of a good idea, but a pipe dream. I'm kind of surprised it took this long for someone to try and address it like this.

 

[BondJamesBond]

Senate wouldn't pass it. Obama wouldn't sign it.

 

[grayson71]

Sounds like a good "common sense" bill to me

 

[bigalf]

Sketchy

 

[obnoxious2]

When the fact that DHS uses more than 3 times more ammo per year than the US Army, something is wrong.

 

[jr88]

Hold on now; every time someone makes the accusation that ammo shortage is due in part to .gov they are called "TinFoil Hat Wearers". So how can there possibly be a reason for this bill?

This must be a mistake!

 

[spicedcrab]

I dont think it can make it

 

[Infantry23]

For the kids!

 

[LandinD]

well see if it ever happens. I highly doubt any legislature is going to get passed anytime soon that works to actually support our rights.

 

[Maestro Pistolero]

Even if it is DOA, there is a benefit to shining the light on this issue. I was of the opinion that the current ammo shortage was strictly market driven for a long time. But when ammo isn't even arriving on the shelves so that people can hoard it, I think it's safe to assume there's much more going on.

What's interesting to me is the question of how long a billion-dollar market demand can go unmet in a free market. Perhaps we have an economist among us who could chime in and explain that one to me.

I guess this is what Obama meant by under the radar.

It sure seems like some entity would set up manufacturing to meet the demand.
