#1 We, laugh and rightfully so, but her statement is quite revealing. I suspect she became confused on the terms of reference, slipped up, and is actually talking about the regime's current strategy for programmed depletion of ammunition [not magazines].

Even with panic buying, commercially available small arms ammunition inventories should have recovered by now and be meeting supply and demand. In fact, suppliers should be in an over-stocked position. They are not, and what is available is exorbitantly priced.

The emperor and his regime know they cannot pass "meaningful" gun legislation so they are imposing other restrictions such as flooding ammunition manufacturers with massive government contracts and suggesting costly firearms owners insurance. Increased restrictions or closure of public hunting lands may be on the horizon as well. Of course it will be cloaked as a cost-cutting sequester action.

Make no mistake, these people want to end private ownership of firearms.

#2 Boeserker gets it. She might not know a clip from a magazine but she knows what she is talking about as far as what the future holds. She committed a gaffe in the sense that she accidentally told the truth, which is that the Dems want to make ammo either scarce or prohibitively expensive. They might be able to do this through regulatory rulemaking, which is even harder than straight-up legislation to find and squelch. Dangerous times.
