At a gun show...

Not to long ago I attended a Gun Show. I needed to pick up some ammo, and gun shows are the cheapest place to get them. previous to that I visited a local gun dealer. I don't always like visiting Gun Dealers, or shows.

Particularly the Gun Show, it was just awful. Lots of People Buying guns, most of the weapons were over priced, scary looking semi-automatic rifles.. Dealers Brought there children to the shows. Buying guns in America, A great American pastime, throw your money away on a piece of metal, shoot the kids, yourself and your loved ones...Buy some Beef jerky.

I went to the gun show a couple of weeks ago , cause I felt I didn't have enough ammo, in case I might need it. With the American economy, its difficult to tell if prices for guns and ammo are going to radically inflate, along with everything else, then Guns or ammo might be unattainable because of prices. it is already like this. Plus Its rumoured that ammo is getting kind of scarce, because the Obama administration is said to want to tax Gun Ammo 500%, so now there is a run on Ammo and it is hard to find in "Common Stores".

Its been a sort of lesson for me . Buying Weapons and Ammo , though a "manly" thing, is difficult for me sometimes because because of the nature of what your doing. Your getting ammo, or a gun to potentially kill an attacker,defend yourself or harm someone. I always agonize in a store if I have to make purchases like these, when that happens maybe I don't get the weapon I may need/want, or the ammo I need.

This drives the Dealers in local stores crazy. Now I sort of realize, the way to avoid this prolonged psychology angst about Guns and Ammo, is to just get what you need, indulge myself alittle the first time, then maybe I won't have to go back there again! I agree with many other that it will be a nice day in America, when they don't have to have these Gun Shows, and if we could just get rid of the guns.

While in the Show I visited At a certain point , I was just kind of grateful to myself, that was was doing something , nevertheless benign and possibly insignificant , (Astrology). Astrology really doesn't hurt anyone. Though now I'm considering dropping my Astrology Blog.
