The other day I headed for the sporting goods department at a local Wal-Mart.  I was looking to stock up on .38 and .45 rounds.  Shelves were nearly bare and the pickin's were slim.  They were out of almost everything except 20 gauge and .410 shotgun shells.  A sign stated that each customer is limited to three boxes per day.  This is not just a local phenomenon<\/a> due to the proximity of gun-totin' Apache Junction rednecks.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Wal-Mart employee said that 7:15  A.M. was the time to get there on days when shipments arrived.  But he couldn't tell me which days those were and he had no opinion about the allegation of some that the Feds are buying up ammo like crazy in a sort of 'arms race' against civilian gun owners.  According to the Associated Press (AP), Homeland Security is aiming to buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition<\/a>.  That is the same AP that has recently been the target of Obama administration document seizures.  Something strange<\/a> is going on here.  Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Now would our wise and benevolent  government, a government that Obama insists "is us," do a thing like buy ammo to starve the civilian supply? Well, would our government use the IRS to target and harrass conservative groups and individuals such as Frank Vandersloot<\/a>? Would it lie about Benghazi? <\/span><\/p>\n

I'm just asking. <\/span> <\/p>\n
