Since January, everyone seems to be running around yelling "OMG! The Democrats are going to take our guns! And our ammo!". Gun prices are way up (someone at the gun show this weekend had a flier with a picture of Obama that said "Best gun salesman ever"). Handgun ammo is increasingly difficult to find, because people are buying it up, so if you walk into Academy, they're likely to be sold out. Then, instead of the two boxes someone would have bought at Academy, they're ordering an entire case online, so now all the online places are running out. People point at that and say, "See! It's starting already! I have to stock up, or I won't be able to buy ammo anymore!", and the cycle repeats. At this point, some places have ammo back-ordered by a month or more.

So it was with much amusement that I saw this on CNN this morning:

Gun rights advocates found an unlikely ally in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday as lawmakers passed a measure allowing concealed, loaded firearms to be carried in national parks.
