It is a lot easier these days to find ammo for the 40mm though.

I used to listen to NPR in the car for the classical music, but now every time I turn it on it's something anti-gun. They can't do anything at the federal level so they're pushing for restrictions at the state level. They seem to think they are being quite successful at this, so it is only a matter of time.

There is a reason they don't get driving permits or many other things. I am not talking about a parent teaching how to shoot, it is when they are pretty much not supervised out hunting, I just don't want to be anywhere around.
