Much is being said in the media and a few in Congress about Holmes buying 6,000 rounds of ammo via the Internet. Would they be satisfied if the same purchase was made from a sporting goods or gun store or from Wal-Mart? I have purchased several thousand rounds at a time from Wal-Mart. I buy where I find it the cheapest. I suppose if they knew I have over 15,000 rounds on hand they would go ballistic and compared to some on this forum my ammo stock is a pittance.

Would these pundits raise the same questions about a purchase of 6,000 gallons of gasoline? The anti supporting media just does not get it and never will: 4 guns = arsenal, AR-15 is civilian version of M-16, equating Internet purchase of a firearm to that of an I-Pod because they don't know or care to know what actually is involved, talking about the "gun show loophole" as if the FFL vendors at a gun show were not following the 4473/NICS process, and it goes on and on. For all the good it will do, today I mailed a two page letter to ABC News. I'm not holding my breath awaiting the reply but I feel better.

I wonder how many attitudes this will change towards the UN small arms treaty.

Coincidence?

Maybe the guy is just plain evil. Maybe it's bath salts.

Maybe I'm crazy.

I hope you are not suggesting that our guvment would stage something like this to justify the ATT or support a gun control agenda? Surely they would never do anything illegal or result in someone being killed.
