Good write up, Vic. On target.
For the "let's look at Great Britain", etc. the truth is in the numbers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr...ables/table-20
I would suggest two things to the anti-gun folks. 1. Do NOT listen to or read the MSM propoganda (main stream media) on either side. Do your own independent research. The numbers will show a consistent drop in major crimes in the U.S. over the last two decades (even with a large increase in private gun ownership). 2. Even though you may not like or want guns, respect the rights of those who do. I don't particularly like certain things, but am open minded enough to 'live and let live'.
All of our rights need to be protected at all costs.

has anyone had the joy of trying to find ammo lately?
bought two new toys yesterday and if I can find ammo I don't want to waste it practicing

Well said Sir......
Lets lighten this up..........
An elderly woman gets pulled over. As she is looking for her license the cop notices her carry permit, he asks if she has any weapons in the car. She responds, yes, I have a 9mm in the glovebox, my .45 in the center console and a .38 in my purse.......
The cop says: What are you afraid of?
She says......Absolutely Nothing!!!!!!!

Because when psychos like James Holmes and Adam Lanza decide to go for mass shooting spree in public, loss of life will be minimized. We just want the assault weapons banned and leave it to the military where they belong. 
Its very easy to be pro-gun until you lose someone in a senseless mass shooting.

The work gun is .45 GAP. (luckily the one shop by work is $18 per 50 for FMJ range ammo)
Need the .45 auto for the off duty I picked up this week, Springfield XDS (best I've found is 390 for 1k rounds of FMJ for the 45 auto online)

I reload .45 for PPC, 1,000 rounds in one hour for about $0.21/round. With cheap heads, I can get that down to $0.15/round. 'Course you could never carry hand loads. Still, $0.38/round is pretty good. That's definitely a pre-surge price. Now, it's more like $0.60/round on-line.

Tomorrow, 1/28 is the public hearing regarding gun control at the Capitol in Hartford. This is the major venue for soliciting input regarding the proposed changes in gun laws here in CT. If you can not attend but wish to have your voice heard you can submit a statement as testimony on the task force's website, www.cga.ct.gov/asaferconnecticut. There is also a link to see testimony submitted as well as video from the meetings.

luckily my work GAP loads are paid for, as was the glock 37 (your tax dollars at work)
the acp is personal fun.
That being said, I'm guessing you have a use for used brass?
