Pass the ammunition

"We are in the midst of a national ammunition shortage. Provoked by an AP story attributing the shortage to military demand (i.e., Presient Bush), Bob Owens started writing about the shortage in 2007. Owens debunked the AP story claiming the military's consumption of ammunition was responsible for police ammunition shortages in the United States."

"Last month ESPN took a look at booming ammo sales, including an interesting Google Trends chart in the story "The ammo boom is no dud." The Google Trends chart supports the story's thesis that concerns over what the election of Barack Obama (and a Democratic Congress) portends for gun owners is the main cause for the inflated demand for ammunition."
