Overheard at the ammo shelf in a Walmart in Tennessee two weeks ago:

[redgreenandblue]

"Obama is making it so that there aren't any bullets left."

[Drale]

1. I've been a propnent of that for a while

if you can't control the guns, control the ammunition. Background checks and put into a database kind of like buying cough medicine.

5. Makes sense to me

But they could make their own with a reloader, no ?

[Drale]

9. They could but I don't think

many would have the skills to do that or bother since its work

Afterthought: Have a turn in program like Oberwis has with their milk bottles. Bring back your shell casings and get some money back. That would help to keep shell casings off the street and it would help the environment by not needing as much metal for these crazy pieces of technology some people seem to need.

2. Oh shit, they're onto us.

Better step up the FEMA Camp plan!

[graham4anything]

3. That would be a great thing.Ban bullets, then keep the guns as collectibles.

Yes, I would love to be called a gun grabber if that means there are zero guns/bullets in the streets in the hands of private citizens.

[redgreenandblue]

4. It literally is not possible to get .22s in Tennessee at the moment.

At least not from retail without pre-order. The genius I have quoted is part of the reason why.

[graham4anything]

7. If there are zero bullets in the stores, a good metal detactor can trace 100% of them

delicious irony.

[madokie]

6. Pres O scares them so much

it would be funny as all get outs if it wasn't so fucking serious. What a bunch of whack jobs we have. It seems their numbers are only rising too. Which is sad because I don't want to live in their world, really rather they get out of my world actually. Go back to your fucking caves, man jeezeee

[maryellen99]

12. I bet any money that some of them are preppers nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. The vast majority of targets...

...are precisely that: targets. Paper targets, cans, etc. Shooting at people or animals is an astronomically tiny fraction of how ammunition is expended. Which is a good thing...

[NightWatcher]

10. He is! The fact that the bedwetters are so scared of him is why

they are hoarding all the guns and ammo.

If Obama would stop talking about gun control (because its never going to happen with this Congress), people might stop the hoarding as they realize that he's not coming to grab their gun.

I think that this extended toothless debate will have done us more harm than good. I know of dipshits who have in the past few months purchased multiple guns and thousands of rounds of ammo. Watch one of these hoarders go off next.

[redgreenandblue]

13. I didn't believe the empty shelves until I saw them.

What gets me is that the shortage the panic is causing is causing more panic and more shortage in an endless cycle. Kind of an irony, in a dumb kind of way.

[NightWatcher]

14. Exactly! And the sooner we stop talking about gun control,

maybe the stores will catch back up on their supply. Before Newtown, the stores were filled here in Gunville Redneck Florida, but now they are empty everywhere.

[Politicalboi]

16. And as soon as we stop talking about gun control

The NRA wins. Fuck these assholes who can't find bullets. Let them think what they want. It's probably a lie anyway. They should limit ammo, and raise the price by 10 times.

[southernyankeebelle]

11. Gee, I sure wish that was true.

[alp227]

15. Welcome to a nation brainwashed by crazy RW media.

People don't think anymore. Any RW media hyped BS story thats scary enough becomes popular thought for a long time.

Even your next door neighbors or the person shopping next to you believes it, and the RW virus has spread so much you can't just laugh off believers as fringe underground rural kooks anymore.
