Wednesday was National Ammo Day, apparently. I didn’t get the memo. I found it today somehow, probably from a link on the Say Anything blog. The idea was for everybody to go out and buy 100 rounds of ammunition, stimulate the economy, and send a message to the Obmanation and his merry band of gun-stealing twits.

I didn’t know about it Wednesday, but let’s just say that I’ve made up for it. There’s plenty of ammo in this family to go around, and there’s always room for more.

I have friends in other parts of the country that have told me of gun stores selling completely out of guns and ammunition once Obama got elected. He has a dismal record of anti-gun voting, and is putting people in his administration with similar views of firearm ownership. Socialist politicians like the Obamessiah love unarmed, uneducated peasants. As for me and my house, we’re going to be neither.

If I may change the subject for a second: that photo above was shot entirely handheld while sitting at my kitchen table, with a non-stabilized macro lens, and manual focus. I have not cropped it, rotated it, or manipulated it in any way except to size it down for the blog. The seven Hydra-Shox rounds I wanted to show are quite well aligned..WOW! I guess after 38,000 photos, I’m starting to develop a steady hand. After my last trip to the range, I’d say the same applies when wielding my Glock or whatever else I’ve brought. Practice pays off, whether you’re “shooting” a camera or shooting a gun.

Don’t worry that Wednesday passed you by; go out and get some ammunition! After January 20th, they’re likely to tax it, serialize it, or eventually ban it. I guess that’s the real public service announcement after all. You don’t need someone to name a holiday in order to get yourself prepared.
