We all wondered when it was going to start. When the new administration would make their move against us as gun owners. Oh, everyone got upset about HR45--I'll bet I got over 100 e-mails warning me about this draconian gun registration bill that had been introduced in Congress.
I was really glad to see Tom Gresham, host of "Gun Talk Radio," an editor, writer, television host on "Self-Defense TV," and one of the foremost gun spokespersons, come out and tell everyone to stop worrying about legislation so absolutely over-the-top--it would never get out of committee.
Tom said save your energy for when we really need it--don't expend it trying to warn everyone in your e-mail list about legislation that would go nowhere.
Now, Tom just interviewed me, and Larry Haynie, owner of Georgia Arms, on Gun Talk--and Tom agrees, now is the time to "...unleash the hounds..." by which he means start e-mailing and writing your senators and congressmen.
Now it has come clear...now we know what they intend to do.
It is an end-run around Congress. They don't need to try to ban guns--they don't need to fight a massive battle to attempt gun registration, or limit "assault" weapon sales.
Nope. All they have to do is limit the amount of ammunition available to the civilian market, and when bullets dry up, guns will be useless.

Thank you for your help!!!
I hope the NRA gets on this quick. Just a suggestion for all of you Armalite/Rock River evil black gun types. Most of these rifles have a .22 lr conversion kit for them. I would suggest not to use the ones with just a new bolt carrier, but a new upper receiver. Neither is perfect, but in these times, we have to do what we have to do. Having this, you can save your .223 ammo for when the SHTF and use the .22 lr convertor for practice.
Roger that!

Or on the back of their neck.
I have not shot one, but all CZs have great reputations for quality.
