Americans have been flocking to the stores and online outlets to purchase ammunition thanks to the Democrats’ big gun control push. Now law enforcement agencies are facing an ammunition shortage. Way to go, Democrats.
Police departments nationwide are experiencing ammunition shortages, according to the online law enforcement resource, PoliceOne.com
Sgt. Chris Forrester of the Greer Police Department in South Carolina told local TV-news channel WSPA-7:
“It’s never easy to get ammo, but since the tragedy in Connecticut, it’s become even more difficult.”
Forrester says the department began experiencing problems ordering ammunition a little less than a month ago. “You’ll call and they say ‘sorry we’re out,’ or ‘it’s on back order,’” he said.
The shortage has forced Sgt. Forrester to rethink quarterly training for his officers saying, “We’re having to be more conservative.” (Read More)
Well, let’s hope they’ve all been well trained already. Oh wait.

Uncle Sam purchased all the ammo 1.6 billion rounds

Ah yes, it’s the Democrates fault that the fear mongering of the right riles up their ignorant base into a frenzy, once again scared that big bad Obama is coming to take all their guns.
How pathetic. Perhaps if there was something in place, like oh I don’t know, universal background checks on all guns and ammo, a shortage like this would be far less likely.
And yes I’m a gun owner. I live in Florida and obtained my gun without having to submit to any background check or even a proper registration. I had to jump through more hoops to get a new iphone. Its scary to think of how easy it is even for criminals to get a gun in this state.

Is that right? If you purchased your firearm anyplace other than a gun show, you must have gone through the same extensive federal paperwork and telephone call to the FBI for background check while you wait that I had to go through. The only venue that doesn’t require the background check is at gun shows. For what reason and why are you trying to circumvent the process? You’re part of the problem. And full of it, pal.

It was a private sale. Private sales are the same as gun shows. No background check needed. It’s a ridiculous loophole that needs to be closed. I’m not going to be irresponsible with my weapon, but I should still be required to register it with the state. I’m not part of the problem, I’m shedding light on it. There shouldn’t be an easy go-around to getting the background check in any state.
How can anyone be against that? Don’t spew more rhetoric and nonsense. I want to hear a direct answer to why anyone is against closing the gun show and private sale loophole.

Here’s your direct answer, you moron. Being so “responsible”, you could have chosen to go with the seller to any licensed gun store, pay a small transfer fee and had them fill out the paperwork and phone in the FBI check for you. But no, instead you CHOSE a loophole to do business with. Why? Because you didn’t want it registered? WHY? Why didn’t you enter yourself into the system? You want everyone else to comply; why didn’t you have the character to be exemplary? Same progressive crap; laws for thee but not for me. Shut up you hypocrite!

So I guess I’m not going to get an answer to my question, just more insults that have zero to do with the topic at hand. No prob, I have a thick skin and even more so when. Ding insulted by people who have very little logic in their thought process
Lets try one more time and see if someone can actually grasp the concept. Forget about my case alone. It’s irrelevant, I just brought it up as an example of how easy it is to legally obtain a gun in my state without a background check. NO ONE who is planning on using a firearm for illicit purposes is willingly going to submit to a background check if they don’t have to. So why not close that loophole and make 100% of future gun owners be required to have their gun registered and background checked with their corresponding state?
Any chance at all someone will attempt to debate that point?

Nobody owes you an answer to your question. You come on here and expect everyone to just agree with you. You insult everyone else, then get your panties in a wad that they insult you back. Maybe we don’t want to debate you. Are we going to change your mind? No? then why should we bother trying? Why not go to Alternet and preach to your choir.

Jason K is just ramping up a false debate. What criminal is going to go try to register a gun??? That’s not how they get guns. If Jason is not a problem, why should he have to register his weapon? Why should The State know what you have if you’ve broken no law? All of this only makes it more of a pain in the ass for law abiding citizens who have a right to own a firearm. Ever more intrusiveness into MY LIFE is not going to make any of you any safer. The man (typically) who wants to shoot you, Jason, likely bought a gun on the street–or stole one, thanks to idiot “journalists”. All of this only distracts from the fact that the Left salivates at the idea of banning all guns in private hands, period. Since you agree that criminals are not going to go through a background check, why do you feel it is so important to focus on that? It accomplishes nothing in the “fight against gun violence”. The fact is there are violent people out there. They’re the problem–they are the “loophole” we should close. The only reason we can’t deal with criminals and crazy people is the policies of the cry-me-a-river-Left. The current administration craving anything–including universal background checks–makes me suspect. They never use my information and my rights for anything except invading my life. They should treat me just like they do criminals and lunatics, and decide I have a right to my privacy UNTIL I hurt someone.

I’m sorry I was under the impress that this was a forum. You only want to speak to people who agree with you? Seems like a waste of a great communication tool. You can run your site however you want, but I would think you’d welcome people with opposing points of view to create an actual dialogue that interesting.
And I did not come on here insulting anyone. If you go back and look at my posts, I was called a “moron,” and I still never personally attacked anyone. I only attack and debate lines of thought, not the individual.

Ok finally, someone with an intelligent response. Thank you Liberty 5-3000. You make some great points. Although I’m not trying to ramp up a false debate, this is a very real one with very real implications.
You are correct, a person with mal intent is not going to register a weapon, but what I said was “willingly.” Why on Earth should we make it EASY for criminals to obtain weapons and carry out a crime. If we close the loophole, a larger number of felons will be arrested trying to illegally obtain a firearm and some will not take the chance at all.
Yes that does make us safer, if less criminals have easy access to firearms. And law-abiding citizens such as you and I, should have nothing to hide and nothing to fear from a simple background check at an authorized retailer.
The goal is to be more proactive and less reactive. I do understand your concern for privacy and I do not like the government looking into my life any more than is necessary either. But a simple background check for criminal activity is something I would hope is done on anyone that would like to own a gun. It’s illegal for felons to own them, so simply enforcing that law and keeping them out of their hands is not invading anyone’s privacy. And if you do see it as such, then you must agree that it’s worth it to keep a gun out of the hands of even one person that is going to do something harmful with it.

Typical liberal bullshit Jason. You dems always know better. How is this new legislation going to help ? The shooter in CT didn’t buy the gun,his mom did! And if he had 3 10rd mags instead of one 30rd would it have made a difference? NO!! You and that stupid N$!?er president of ours are incompetent to the point it makes my stomach turn.

Let me tell you what makes my stomach turn Justin, backwards thinkers like yourself who are in no position to tell anyone what is or is not better for society. Because you see, you’re a racist, so fundamentally speaking you have a deficiency in your brain. You use a word like you use and it immediately disqualifies anything you have to say, whether it makes a point or not. I could explain every single line of the bill to you and how it is beneficial for the country and the evolution of society as a whole, but it would be completely lost on someone who still judges a person based on the color of their skin.
Also, to the moderator of this site, I believe it says something about not leaving hate filled comments like Justin just left. And please do not mistake me calling him out as a racist as a form of attack or name calling. He just called the President of the United States the most hate filled, racist word there is. So by definition of the word racist, he simply is what he is. I’m not arbitrarily labeling him as such.
