"Anti" Wired.com piece goes after our ammo, not the guns.

"Know thy enemy" is a good rule to follow.

The above link is to a "Wired" article, which is decidedly "anti" our 2A interests, but is interesting nonetheless.

On the first page, I could not get the "hot spots" to work, but if you click on each screen's arrows at the 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock positions, you can page back and forth through the multi-page article.

The author of this piece was interviewed on the radio and would like to make ammo cost so much that it would
somehow "stop the violence". Good luck with that Ms. Comrade.

There's some interesting stats in this article, such as how much the small country of Belgium sells in ammo each year.

Yeah but they also published this:

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/ar-15/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I guess one could say that the one of the articles was written by a journalist with an open mind that present facts and the other was written by a propagandist spinning statistics in order to support their preconceived notions...I'll let you figure out which is which!

That's why no one steals expensive cars or robs jewelery stores, because those items cost too much. So, why would anyone steal or black-market ammunition --especially when the pricing would be artificial and cheap ammo would be readily available from other countries? After-all, it's not like anyone can buy illegal drugs or get them in prison. And everyone knows thieves only steal things they can afford themselves. :biggrinjester:
