A man bought ammunition at a local gun dealer then later on that evening received a call from state police questioning why he bought that ammunition.

The law, passed last year as AB 962, would have banned mail order ammunition sales and required all purchases of so called “handgun ammunition” to be registered. In an unwritten ruling from the bench, Judge Jeffrey Hamilton found the law unconstitutionally vague on its face and issued an injunction against its enforcement. For now, at least, mail order ammunition sales to California residents can continue, and ammunition sales need not be registered under the law.

Online rumors about a big government munitions purchase are true, sort of.

The Homeland Security Department wants to buy more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition in the next four or five years. It says it needs them — roughly the equivalent of five bullets for every person in the United States — for law enforcement agents in training and on duty.

An Indiana deputy attorney general used twitter to suggest that violence and live ammunition be used against the protesters in Wisconsin.

A day after union workers rejected for a second time a contract that might have saved their jobs, the Metro East company told them it was moving about 1,000 ammunition production jobs from Metro East to Oxford, Miss.

Boxing promoter Don King said today that he accidently left a few rounds of ammunition in his travel bag when he was stopped at Cleveland's Hopkins International Airport on Sunday night by the Transportation Security Administration.

"I didn't realize that a few little bullets were in there. I applaud the TSA for being on the job."

just to clarify:

Law-abiding citizens have no guns with which to defend themselves. (Chicago politicians are not law-abiding citizens, in case you were wondering.)

The given reason is, that’s what law enforcement is for.

But now if you call 911, you could get slapped with a fine?

And Chicago is just one community doing this ...

US forces have fired so many bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan - an estimated 250,000 for every insurgent killed - that American ammunition-makers cannot keep up with demand. As a result the US is having to import supplies from Israel.

Americans armed themselves to the teeth and paid through the nose to have a smoke, according to a U.S. government report released on Wednesday. The U.S. federal government collected $20.6 billion in taxes on alcohol, tobacco, firearms and ammunition in fiscal year 2009, up 41 percent from the previous fiscal year, according to the annual report of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. --- Remember, kids... "Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms" should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
