But, it IS paranoia. Why has nobody been pointing out that these nutbags have been hoarding bullets since Obama got elected the first time? These bed-wetting crazies have been urging each other to stock up from Day One. This run on ammo has been their own creation, not that of the government. If they want to see where all the bullets went, they should look in each others fucking bunkers.
