One of the ways that we can help protect our 2nd Amendment rights is to observe National Ammo Day, which is today.
And the only way to observe National Ammo Day is to go out and buy some ammunition!
Let's keep gun-and-ammo manufacturers and dealers in business. The goal is for each gun owner to buy 100 rounds of ammo today. If that is impossible, at least go out and buy what you can.
Some of you may be able to buy even more than 100 rounds.
For more information on National Ammo Day, click HERE (h/t to Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit).

Disturbing Gun News From Switzerland
Despite the vehement protests from many of Switzerland's cantons (states), the lower chamber of the nation's Federal Assembly voted to strip its citizens of gun rights, not by registering or confiscating firearms, but by outlawing the storing of ammunition in the homes of the citizens.
According to The Liberty Zone, the move was led by Switzerland's small but vocal--and powerful--Socialist minority. And apparently it was a leading women's magazine who aided the Socialists in the cause.
Having failed at attempts to take the guns themselves from homes and store them in government facilities, the new law takes aim at ammo rather than the guns. The Swiss are still allowed to possess firearms; they simply will not be allowed to possess the ammunition to use them.
This is the backdoor method of disarming citizens, and it is very effective.
The ban also applies to the male citizens who make up Switzerland's time-honored citizens' militia. Even they will be required to keep their ammo at approved government facilities.
The fact that a Leftist minority group was able to convince a majority of representatives in the Swiss Federal Assembly to approve the measure is considered a major victory for Socialism and the push to strip individual citizens of the right to keep and bear arms.
In a stunning example of what Leftists can do when citizens are not paying attention, the Socialist ban on ammunition in the homes of the Swiss people should be a stark lesson for U.S. citizens who wish to preserve the right to keep and bear arms. Anti-gun groups do not have to register or confiscate firearms to win the battle.
Rather, the growing modus operandi of the gun control movement is to render a Constitutional right null, void, and useless by implementing legislation aimed at things such as ammunition rather than the actual guns themselves.
Within the U.S. the anti-gun movement does not even have to introduce legislation. A mere executive order by an Administration in the 1990s has been all it takes for a massive assault to ensue on gun shops, gun manufacturers, and other facets of the gun industry, to begin to gradually rob the citizens of their rights to keep and bear arms. This is presently being accomplished by a rogue arm of the Department of Justice--the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives--which has succeeded in shutting down 80% of the gun stores, and gun and ammo manufacturers, within the U.S.
The prevailing wisdom, similar to what we find in Switzerland, is to attack gun ownership by focusing on various facets of the gun and ammo industry rather than to directly attack the citizens' guns. This effectively renders useless any supposed right to own, possess, and use a firearm without addressing the firearms themselves at all--a perfect example of disarming the citizens using the backdoor method.
Switzerland has been the last bastion of real gun rights in Europe. Now even the Swiss have fallen to the sly and seductive ways of the Socialist anti-gun movement.
And if it can happen there, it can happen here.
