I find it fascinating that no matter what the topic is, children are used to exemplify why someone's actions must be evil.
What if he was buying the ammunition to supply boy scouts working on merit badges?
Better yet, what if he was supplying ammunition to girl scouts?
Then those of us who wanted to buy the ammunition for our own selfish desires are now the bad guys.
Every time you squeeze the trigger you deprive a child of the experience of punching a hole in a paper target.
I'd make the argument that if he was buying the ammunition and selling it for a multiple of the retail price he was doing you a favor.
By depleting the available spending money of the people competing with you for ammunition doubling or more the price he lowers the available money they have to compete with you.
The long term implication is that the shortage will be over sooner.
Fortunately for me this is all academic. Someone on the internet told me that Obama might be elected again and if that happened bad things would happen to the gun and ammunition markets.
Foolishly I believed them and wasted my money last year on guns and ammunition.
Good thing for everyone else too, because now I have no real desire to compete for the currently available ammunition.
Well I'd probably buy more 22lr just to piss everyone off if I happen to find a box of it on the shelf.
After all I might need to trade someone a couple bricks of 22lr to get me some tamiflu or not......
