America armed, but guns not necessarily loaded - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090923/ap_on_re_us/us_ammo_shortage - broken link)

The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System reported that 6.1 million background checks for gun sales were issued from January to May, an increase of 25.6 percent from the same period the year before.

Ammunition usually 7 billion rounds a year, now it's already at 9 billion sold.

I just read that.

In any case, I'd love to be working for a bullet manufacturer right now.

Nope, no one reloads their own ammunition.

Nope, no one had any ammunition stockpiled before Obama was elected.

Nope, no one has more than one gun, a caliber of which ammunition is available.

Yep, let the person that invades my home keep thinking that. I hope he likes surprises!
