I'm glad to know it.

Yeah I get your point but MY point is stuff goes up. Shells cost a heck of a lot more now than when I was a kid, or when my dad was a kid. Don't do no good to get in a twist about it. Heck, when I started dipping Copenhagen it was .45 cents a can. Now it's nearly six bux. Things go up. A new Chevy used to cost three thousand dollars, now that won't buy a good used Chevy.

Yessir...............

I just find it hard to believe that another two or three dollars a box on ammo is going to hurt you. If it does, them maby you need to seek out a higher paying job. Just my opinion...................

Give? Give more to the back pockets of multi-million dollar corporations? Please! If you chose to believe what they are saying, that's fine. I don't.

If you are attempting to question my personal patriotism, I'll ignore it in the interest of civility.

GIVE??? You don't have to GIVE them anything!!!! You have a CHOICE!!!! Don't like it?? Then quit shooting!!!! Thats it. Thats the whole of it. Check on how much the price of metal has went up in the last few years. I know, I'm a building contractor and steel prices are through the roof. Check on how much the price of concrete has cone up the last year. Everything has gone up. The price of corn, the price of milk, the price of Copenhagen.............The price of steel and metals are bound to have a trickle down effect, even down to the cost of ammo. And I never said anything about your patriotism, I don't even know who you are. Don't mean to make yall mad, but thats the way it is.

No, I'm not, I just get tired of folks whining about the price of gasoline (and ammo) when they do nothing to change their habits. The price of gas, people whine about how much it "hurts" them BUT they refuse to walk to the corner store for a pack of smokes or gallon of milk (over four dollars a gallon now, lets hear how bad that hurts you) , they still drive their big SUVs (as I do), but they still gripe. My point is It don't hurt you, it may make you mad but you ain't gonna change your ways. I am still gonna drive my big crew cab Chevy as much as I want to, I'm still gonna shoot my guns as much as I want to in spite of ammo or gas prices. Just thank GOD we live in America where we can gripe about how good we have it.

If it hurts you that much to give a little bit more, then quit driving and shooting.

Seems a small price to pay to support our war on terror. I can live with it.
