What's triggering a shortage of guns?


"Three main elements that have been behind this are the potential for pending legislation on the federal level, a federal administration that doesn't have any regard for the rights of individuals, and just a general sense of uncertainty," said Paul Gauffin, of State Line Gun Shop...Of even greater concern to gun owners would be legislation from Washington that could reinforce long-feared reforms, including federal reinstatement of the ban on some semiautomatic rifles and increases in federal excise taxes on ammunition...right now they have no 380- or 45-caliber, or 30 carbine ammo for target shooting. "Carbine (semi-automatic), used in World War II, used to be cheap to shoot. Now we can't get (ammo for) it," he said. "And if we don't have bullets, we're out of business."

Did you catch that? "long-feared 'reforms'". (Reforms my a$$, more like tyrannical infringements). At least writer ROBIDOUX makes "some" attempt to be neutral here, unlike the usual blatant antigun bias we are used to...(S9)
