Of course, CNN has to make this sound as scarrrry as possible
Sounds frightening, doesn’t it? Time to ramp up the fear a bit more though,
South Africa’s state arms agency Armscor sold hundreds of millions of rounds of small arms ammunition into the open market in conflict with government policy, Business Day newspaper said on Wednesday.
Oh No! Not the open market! Did the ammo get ought up by the genocidal militias in Darfur? Did Hugo Chavez buy it?
Well, no.
The newspaper said a secret forensic report in 2005 showed Armscor had sold ammunition for AK-47, R-4 and R-5 rifles to Industrie Spreewerk Lubben in Germany “ostensibly for destruction and onward sale to companies in the U.S.”.
“(This) has seen the U.S. market flooded with military and police surplus ammunition from South Africa. Apparently the ammunition is openly advertised on the Internet,” the newspaper said, citing a copy of the report.
It got sold to you and me. We’re not scarrrry.
Unless you’re CNN.
Btw, since my ammunition is now seeing it’s 15 minutes of fame, I’m going out to the garage and bask in it’s glow of celebrity.
Yep, you can always count on the Communist News Network to put a spin on it !!!
Too bad we can’t get more of that surplus 303 Brit, as that was pretty good stuff!

I wish I’d bought more of the .308, it’s very good ammo.
I wish other countries would flood the ammo market so prices would go down!
They should be scared. It is my battle ammo, and I have enough fo it for at least a week of battle by NATO standards.
They need to be scared. They are the ones trying to push my culture off the edge of this flat Earth, and I’m ready to push back….
Buy it cheap and stack it DEEP. Paul
