This might be a good thing. It will bring the high-and-mighty po-po (not to be confused with peace officers) more down to the level of us ordinary citizens, and likely to do more careful detective work, and possibly less likely to do midnight entries and poodle shootings. We can only hope.
OK - here's a thought (paranoid or not perhaps) - suppose that dhs 'orders' local departments and coppers to 'assist' then in seizing free Citizens personally owned weapons and the locals refuse. dhs tells them to comply and if they do then the locals will be provided ammo from the dhs stockpile. If it comes down to sending coppers out without ammo, which way might some go? IOW - he who has the ammo makes the rules..............
Since for years military, law enforcement and civilians have had pretty much "at will" access to ammo even while the USG was engaged in various conflicts, how did this "shortage" erupt ?
Yes "panic buying" did eat up a chunk, but most shows I attended ammo sellers had tables groaning with stock, every gun store had full shelves plus a month or more inventory. Someone, somewhere is siphoning off not only the "excess" but cutting deep into "normal demand curve" as well. Who but the USG has the resources/power to do this ?
Reminds me of Lamar Hunt's kids trying to corner the silver market. >Jeff

Good - I cannot think of a group more deserving of being out of ammo. The less ammo the thugs in blue have the safer the citizens will be.
Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
How are the police and sheriffs going to protect the public from unconstitional laws when they have no ammo?
Police without ammo? That is just soooo sad.

Gosh! Next time they'll have to push their victims off the Danziger Bridge!

hey 3-22/1:05
I wouldn't worry about the good cops. The folk they are protecting will provide them with plenty if needed,
Dogs around the country breathe a sigh of relief.
