I don't see what precludes the government from buying ammo in the same fashion the public sector has when one considers what happened to the market after the Connecticut massacre.

Are we really bitching because they bought smart, for once?

If there were ever to be any battles with our government, you don't really believe they'd be relying on bullets, do you?
