Gun and Ammo Sales Surge

This news item is no surprise if you've been anywhere looking to purchase ammo lately.

According to today's Wall Street Journal:

"Purchases of guns and ammunition are surging across the country. Nearly four million background checks -- a key measure of sales because they are required at the purchase of a gun from a federally licensed seller -- were performed in the first three months of 2009. That is a 27% increase over the same period a year earlier, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
