I have spies amidst the gun-toters. When they first told me the following, I assumed they were just trying one of their cold, spy-ish jokes. I should have had more faith in them:

Ammo in short supply; Dem takeover gets blame

With firearm dealers struggling to keep ammunition on their shelves, it seems the gun and ammunition business has been stimulated in a way few people expected.

The minute Barack Obama stepped into the White House, people scrambled to gun stores to buy as much ammunition as they could get their hands on. Now, there’s a shortage of ammunition all over the country as demand is three times the supply.

The thinking (in the loosest sense of the word) is that assault rifles will be banned, or rifles will be banned, or handguns, or everything, or it will be tax, tax, taxed (you know them damn takeover Dems), or ammunition will be taxed out of existence, or rationed. Or something.

Then I saw this comment (typos edited):

Not to sound too paranoid, but the thought has crossed my mind several times lately, that people like Soros and the rest of that scurvy crew were buying this stuff up with front companies/people to keep it out of the hands of the public.

Ha! I will call my good friend George (Soros, that is, not he-who-must-not-be-named), and because of my impeccable liberal cred he will give me rooms full of ammo. With this I will then tease the desperate “public” until they hock their very flak jackets to pay my terrible price. I’ll be rich! Rich! Finally.

Well, until some of them decide to broaden their list of targets. Then it won’t be so funny.
