For whatever reason, guns and all things gun-related are a hot commodity these days. Local law enforcement agencies are seeing an increase in the number of applications from residents wanting to carry concealable firearms, a continuation of a trend that started last year. At the same time, ammunition prices are up because of increased demand coinciding with more gun sales.

There is one thing that can be said of President Obama with certainty: His election has had a phenomenal effect on gun sales. Across the country, ammunition prices are soaring and many guns are in short supply as weapons fly off the shelves at stores. This is a telling economic indicator about consumer confidence as many Americans stock up for fear that the end is nigh. It's also a logical reaction to gun-owner fears that Democrats will implement far-reaching new gun controls. There is cause for concern. Leaders in the Obama administration and Congress have stated that they plan to limit what guns Americans can buy and that guns should be registered.

DAYTON -- The price of ammunition for guns has increased as much as 50 percent or has even doubled in the past several years. The cause seems to vary, from the soaring cost of metals such as brass, copper and lead used to make ammo to the Iraq war and the need to produce more small-caliber ammunition for U.S. troops.

Troops training for and fighting 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. An Associated Press review of dozens of police and sheriff's departments found that many are struggling with delays of as long as a year for both handgun and rifle ammunition. And the shortages are resulting in prices as much as double what departments paid just a year ago.

The global rise in food prices is giving political ammunition to opponents of the country's ethanol policy and creating some uncertainty for the burgeoning and heavily subsidized biofuels industry. An informal coalition of oil refiners, environmentalists and food processors is trying to convince lawmakers that increased output of the alternative fuel is inflating food costs by siphoning off corn otherwise fed to livestock and discouraging U.S. farmers from planting wheat, soybeans and other crops.

About 650 water customers served by the Montgomery County Public Service Authority's Prices Fork water system will be moved back onto their normal water supply from the Radford Army Ammunition Plant beginning today. Customers immediately affected are on Prices Fork Road outside the Blacksburg town limits. Customers near Hightop and Merrimac roads are scheduled to make the switch beginning Friday. In December, customers began receiving water from the Blacksburg- Christiansburg-VPI Water Authority when the normal supply ran low.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, wants to ensure that the Obama administration never again stops selling used gun shell casings to manufacturers who use them to make cheap reloaded bullets. The administration stopped that practice for four days in March before reversing it under pressure from some members of Congress. Congressmen wanted to study the practice to determine if the shell casings are sensitive items that should be destroyed before resale. Chaffetz said the temporary stop led to a run on ammunition supplies and to higher prices.
