N.C. ACORN Proposes Stricter Ammunition Laws (Here it comes!)

NBC17-TV ^ | December 13, 2008

[An Old Man]

If these people are allowed to have their way munitions will become scarce and those remaining will become more expensive. To counter one were to counter the the affects of either case some questions need to be answered.

1. What are you going to do with the ammunition?
2. Where do you plan to do it?
3. Why are you planning to do it?
4. When do you plan on doing it?
5. Who or what are you planning to do it to?

If the purpose is for amusement as in target shooting, Perhaps you will have to find another hobby.
If you need to drive to a range to shoot, the amount of ammunition to be transported is trivial and can easily be transported in your automobile.
For amusement might include becoming the next "National Champion".
When could be every weekend.
What includes everything from tin cans to burglars or other nefarious persons.

For other serious purposes, I am seriously concerned about the ability on an individual acting without a logistics tail to consume large amounts of ammunition. for instance, when I was sent to board a ship bound for foreign shores, we loaded another ship with 30 Cal ammunition. The transport from the dump to the ship was via 5 ton trucks working 24 hours per day and took almost a week to finish loading.

What do you think?

NC is the emerging New Jersey of the South.

Looks like you've got a federal/state clash there. Federal wins. New Jersey can't abrogate your federal license. You might see a lawyer about it.

States sometimes assert jurisdiction infringing on federal jurisdiction for years without being called on the carpet. Example: Virginia's habit of confiscating radar detectors. They rely on the supinity of owners who won't file claims suits to get their property back. Anyone who files, gets his gear back promptly, because Virginia knows they can't have case law established against them; they can't let a case go to trial in federal court.

That situation has persisted above 30 years now unjusticed.

Yea I’m kooky, I know, but I’ve never seen the absolute hatred for someone that exists for Governor Palin. How long until the media makes up something that will actually stick; and she is sent to a gulag?

I have had the same thought, and even darker fears for her safety.

If I were a tad more cynical and a tad more enterprising, I'd take out a life insurance policy on her with Lloyd's of London for big bucks.

If she were from Louisiana and had browned off the Long crowd as much as she has the DC Establishment, she'd be uninsurable. DeLesseps S. Morrison challenged the Long machine in 1961, I think it was, when he ran for governor and nearly won. He died six weeks after the election in a plane crash in Mexico. Light twin, both engines failed, what a coincidence.

...when I was sent to board a ship bound for foreign shores,...

Since you were loading up with 30-cal, I'm presuming this adventure predated VN.

[An Old Man]

You are correct.

We received this info in an e-mail message today:

Ammunition Accountability Legislation

Remember how Obama said that he wasn’t going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!

The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana ) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture a data base of all ammunition sales. So the y will know how much you buy and what calibers.
Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the ammunition is coded.

Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.) They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!

If the y can deprive you of ammo the y do not need to take your gun!

This legislation is currently pending in 18 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.

Send to your friends in the se states AND fight to dissolve this BILL!!

""We have to make it clear we are not talking about gun control, we're talking about bullets," said Durham City Council Member Howard Clement III."

...And we are making it clear that the second amendment is not just about posession of firearms, it is about the final physical power of resistance to tyranny. The shot heard round the world was fired in defense of POWDER, not rifles.
