LOL!Wow, we could have one helluva insurgency here!
Our Dear Leader can add to his list of "accomplishments" in the first 100 days, "Top Firearms Salesman"...
In the 3 months of his presidency, American have purchased enough firearms to outfit the Chinese AND Indian Army's... That is a LOT of guns! Especially poignant because the Chinese aren't even capable of properly arming their own Army.
And in December alone, over $1.5 BILLION rounds have been purchased, and thats just the ones known! Those numbers went up in the first three months of this year, but a count hasn't been verified yet.
That is one helluva insurgency waiting to happen! LOL!
In all seriousness, this very thing is one of the main reasons that the Russians never seriously considered invading the United States. Same with the Chinese. Combine that with our native military capability, and this place becomes a very dangerous place for people who aren't our friends, inside our borders.

I'm a member at the indoor range that I go to, which means priority on the lanes, no waiting even when there is a crowd. Well... now it is so bad (in a good way!) that even "members" have an hour wait to get a lane. I for one, am pleased at that kind of a wait!
If I didn't have to drive 45 minutes to get to an outdoor range of any merit, I'd be there every time.
Time permitting, I go down to a police range which is nice because it has everything from close quarter ranges to a 400 meter range.
edit to add:That brings up the other point that I think is cool... the "underground" ammo and firearms thing amongst the good guys... I haven't purchased 556, 9 or 40 ammo in a couple years. I end up getting "surplussed" or ammo that been, "lying around" at one of the police ranges. Last week, a cop buddy of mine handed 800 rounds of 556.
Love it.
