Today's irony...

... the current panic over OMG GUNS! is driving vastly higher sales of guns and ammo. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero.

Not that anyone couldn't have predicted this, but I find it very amusing. Along with the idiotic locations doing "gun buyback" programs that don't come close to offering the actual value of the weapons, so that gun dealers and other private citizens show up outside the buyback area to acquire the guns at higher (but still very nice) prices. Everyone wins except, of course, the government that wanted to REDUCE the number of guns out there...

Really, sometimes I think that behind the scenes the NRA and other groups are grinning from ear to ear every time one of these happens.
