"Live" ammunition... makes it sound like the ammo is on the verge of exploding or something.
"Live" ammo as well as "Live" guns are capable of action independent of human intervention. This is particularly nasty stuff my friends. The old adage "Guns don't kill..." no longer holds water. The gun grabbers are correct, guns are evil and can, when around "live" ammo, load themselves and commit acts of mayhem. I suggest we all search our arsenals and if any "live" ammo is found call the proper authorities immediately. The ensuing arrest, interrogation and imprisonment is a small price to pay if just one child is saved
I Suppose "Dead" Ammunition would be just Shell Casings? I like all of my ammunition "Live" before it becomes "Dead".
