(9 posts)It seems you dont mind rights being taken away from others as long as it doesnt affect you.
Would you say the same thing if they took away your right against unreasonable search and seizure?
Absolutely unconstitutional and they should be sued by every single citizen that is affected.

(101,699 posts)population against a devastating microbe that your gun will do nothing to resolve is no, not my concern. No one is making you give up your right to blast away at your will. Only that you wait before stockpiling more to intimidate your neighbor and strangers. So sorry. NOT! Your impatience and selfishness in this matter is not a constitutional right. I'm sure whoever is taking over Rush Limbaugh's radio show right now will be glad to hear your grievance.

Apparently you've never read beyond the second amendment and clearly never read the declaration of independence upon whose foundation the constitution was written, but "LIFE" is the first inalienable rights. I know that doesn't mean much to you. Only the ability to stockpile weapons. It is nothing more than a temporary inconvenience, but DEATH IS PERMANENT.
It is hard not to be disgusted by such selfish attitudes.

Your whining and gnashing of teeth notwithstanding.

In Colorado, it says, its ammunition sales were up more than 1,000%. That number was as high as 945% in Arizona and 897% in Ohio.
"While people have stockpiled toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and pantry essentials, they've also purchased ammunition at an unprecedented rate," reads the site.
