Where's All The Ammo?

Have you tried to buy any ammunition for your gun lately? If you own a gun you might know what I am talking about. It seems that ammunition is flying off the shelves. Stores are having a hard time keeping there inventory stocked. Why? People are scared of a 500% tax increase and concerned that our 2nd amendment rights are going to be taken away. Why would the government want to do that? If the government asked law abibing citizens to turn in there guns I don't think there's going to be a line outside any police station or wherever to hand them over. What about the criminals? They keep there guns, because they are criminals, and rob the person down the street that can't defend himself or his family because he turned in his gun, assuming he did of course. Make any sense to you? The government used to sale used ammo shells to businesses that would use them to make ammo for citizens and our police force. It was sold at 2 dollars a pound as an empty case but they are now crushing the cases and selling it as scrap for .20 a pound. Sound like our government doesn't it. We are in an economy that is sinking and the government is cutting it's profit on used ammo shells by 1.80 a pound. Common sense anyone?
