We are becoming a society of detail and regulation. It is increasingly diffcult and expensive to be in business now as opposed to even 3 years ago. A lot of people wonder why the cost of goods and services continue to go up. Let me shed some light on something most people never even give a thought to. The reason it costs you more money today to buy a gallon of milk is 100% because the government has made it increasingly difficult to sell milk. This is just one example. The government makes it increasingly difficult to sell anything or offer any service. New laws governing how businesses are conducted mean the business owner must be a legal expert or hire experts. This is becoming an increasing problem.

Five years ago, I could open a business for a fraction of the cost today. For example, 5 years ago I opened a business location for $50,000. Today, that same business would cost me close to $200,000 to open. This is because I am now forced by the City to hire a attorney, architect, engineer, licensed General Contractor (not the same as a licensed electrician, plumber, etc. A GC employs subs in all the specialty fields), and so on. In the past, I was the attorney, GC, architect and plumber myself. Now if I want my electricty turned on, I have to show that I have a permit from the City and the city requires everything to be done by licensed businesses. So, the electric companies are forced to police new business owners for the City because the City now requires the electric company to verify that the City permits have been obtained by the new business.

I could ramble on for hours and pages. Our society has become overly complicated which leads to high expense. There are three parties to blame for the complication: #1 the attorneys because they have drafted the laws, #2 the Politicians because they enacted the laws, and #3 is Society as a whole. We the people have the power but we don't use it. The masses are massive but unorganized and misguided. We're cattle being led to slaughter but we think we're on the daily walk to the barn.

If things continue it will become increasingly more complicated and expensive to be in business which means fewer and fewer new businesses can start up or continue to thrive. This makes big businesses stronger. Businesses like Wal-Mart don't have a problem spending an extra $1 million to build a new location but you can be damn sure that an extra $150,000 to a start up a business is going to keep a lot of new entrepreneurs from ever getting started. This leads us back to the middle class disappearing in America. I told you I could go on and on. I will stop now. I have work to do. Gotta read up on the laws that govern my business.

I'm glad I have all the ammo I will ever need, and there is only 1 way I will dispose of it.

Bill.

Even murder has gotten more complicated. That's what got me riled up I just didn't want to admit it. Now I have to plan better to pull off the perfect murder.

Well, when the day comes that you need to dispose of your old, un-numbered ammo, I suggest that you dispose of it properly. Namely, in the back of the head of these folks.


Martha Garcia
Humberto Lopez
Ruben Alvarez
David Bradley
Chad Campbell

j/k of course. I would never suggest that someone commit a crime, especially against one of our honorable elected officials hehehe.

it seems to me that it would be prohibitively expensive to engrave serial numbers on ammo. and even more difficult to keep track of who is buying or using these serial numbers.

maybe tiny gps devices in every round could be used to relay information about each shot to the police.
