That way, when the starving, bankrupted, homeless masses storm dick Cheney's compound to lynch him, he'll be able to afford to 'protect' himself.

Think of this another way people - Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicols were traced down because they bought fertilizer. If the government was tracking that back in the '90s, ammunition is a no brainer. We like to belittle the government, but they are way ahead of us all when it comes to internal security. And anyone that screams 9/11 as a response should remember that safeguards were in place to prevent those men from getting on those planes, but no one acted to stop them.

Personally, I probably can't afford ammo anyway right now
