I ran across this article on CNN It's no secret that ammo is extremely hard to get at the moment. It really bugged the **** out of me how they just throw out "Assault Rifle" with everything.

"Cabela's gets two or three shrink-wrapped pallets of 5.56 mm or .223 ammunition for AR-15 assault rifles"

"As demand has climbed, so have prices, from $12 for a box of 50 rounds for assault rifles to $25 a box, said Rafn."

I wish they would actually hire reporters or columnists that are at least somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to firearms. It's just like after the school shooting, it seemed like every broadcast & article released it was "High Capacity Clip this, and high capacity clip that." It seems like so much of the information as well as the statistics these guys are throwing out there are just flat out wrong. They're trying to portray these weapons as evil killing machines and what not, it's just so ******* ridiculous.

I don't think these are mistakes or uninformed reporters. They know what they are doing. They have an agenda and they see an opportunity to push it on unsuspecting Americans that do not shoot or own guns. For that matter, I have even talked to some gun owners that take the reports at face value and have not thought the concept through to a logical conclusion.

They are doing Eric Holder's work of brainwashing the masses. Say it enough times, and people believe it. It's sick and pisses me off too. I'm not sure which is more infuriating, the fact that the media does it, or that it works.
