It is a shame that you keep taking the comments out of context.
I suggest you look up why there is a shortage of ammo. who is buying it all up? why? What good are all the guns without the ammo?
You want conclusive evidence? I cannot provide you with a certified copy of the DHS memo where all the ammo is going, neither can I provide you with an approved academic journal reference (per your political preference) as to why there is a shortage at this time while any rational analysis would show that there should be an oversupply of the same. All I have to go by is my observations. Hence my disclaimer. Is this a false premise? Maybe. There has been a run on small arms and ammo since 2008 (rational or otherwise), enough time for the manufacturers to ramp up the inventories. How come they are scarce now? Who is leaning on them?
Providing you with “conclusive evidence” is equivalent to waking up somebody who is pretending to asleep.[/quote]
You’re going to have to explain in detail how the context changes your assertion. Maybe if we were talking about duck hunting, claiming that there are only two paths for the US economy, I’d read it differently. But I don’t think so. Absolute claims are absolute claims, irrespective of context.
The shortage of ammo is pretty easy to explain. People who are afraid the government wants to take guns is driving some people to buy ammo. The myth that ammo is being purchased by the government at any significantly higher rates than in the past has been debunked so many times, I shouldn’t have to address it. Because you might have read it on infowars.com doesn’t make it so.
