Troops training for and fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are firing more than 1 billion bullets a year, contributing to ammunition shortages hitting police departments nationwide and preventing some officers from training with the weapons they carry on patrol."

We had plenty of notice of this more than two years ago, Heck I knew that the usual ammo plants couldnt keep up, they tried to hire one of the engineers in our office to work on improvements at lake city, but we have to make ammo here too.
