That is why it is so important to raise the awareness that govenment doesn't grant us our inalienable rights and is supposed to uphold them.
Some "law" isn't going to stop me from arming and defending myself.
Woe to he who would knowingly disarm his brother to lead him to death.

And a law or treaty that is repugnant with the Constitution's original intent is no law at all. (I know you know...)
"The Constitution of the United States, Its Sources and Its Application" by Thomas James Norton, published by the Committee for Constitutional Government,
First printed circa 1922, last known publishing date circa 1969
HTML Edition Copyright 1996 -- Barefoot Bob
"If an act of the legislature, repugnant to the constitution, is void, does it, notwithstanding its invalidity, bind the courts, and oblige them to give it effect? Or, in other words, though it be not law, does it constitute a rule as operative as if it was a law? This would be to overthrow in fact what was established in theory; and would seem, at first view, an absurdity too gross to be insisted on." -- Chief Justice Marshall.

Can you feel the winds of war heat up, will my brothers all hold empty cups
Will my sisters wear their veils of death, as the children blow out their last breath
Can you hear that sound...that growing sound, that agonizing cry, of giving out, and giving up, then finally giving in
For once there was a land so great, none other could compare, when in our youth we raised our arms our hands then fist, and shouted with one voice, 'this land is ours, you cannot have' and vowed to do or die
Will a cry go out, will the bugle sound, will the people stand and fight.
Or will our wrist be bound, our eyes go dead, to protect us from the sight, of a once great land that shone so bright, still died with all it's might.

Thanks for the link. Bookmarked.

For home protection, a Mossburg pump or a M-1911 will do the trick.Two great minds think alike. :-)

Is anybody else worried about this INTERNATIONAL meeting that was held BEHIND closed doors?
(Not that there is anything to worry about an international taxpayer-funded left-wing conspiracy, or anything like that.)

The Korean War authorization was rushed through on the ONLY day in history that Russia boycotted the Security Council:
If they had been present, we could not (under UN cover at least) have sent troops to South Korean.
This then, they have had a delegate always present.

That's OK, but word is to avoid the Universal M-1s. While a fine gun, I am sure, the parts are not interchangable with a GI M-1 carbine.

The 1000 round cases I purchased in 2000 for $120 will set you back $190 if you can even find them. Gosh, I miss the $77 cases of Golden Tiger. I picked up 2 cases last year, and also acouple of spam cans of Wolf when you could get the at portsman's Guide for less than 10c a round. I wish I'd bought 10 cases. Still have some left, but I hate "spending" it.

My son has an AK, I don't think they should be outlawed. As far as that goes, I'd like to have one myself. To get the full flavor and effect of the AK, you should try "bump-firing".

I wouldn't dare do that with my prized AR-15, but the chrome barrel of the Romanian AK seems to handle it just fine.

.223 - Real nice wound channel for the recoil.
Oh yeah, high rate of fire (aimed).

My wife bought a 1,000 round box of Wolf 9mm. Her Sig 225 didn't like it. I found little flecks of brass in the slide and down in the trigger assembly. I usually make a custom reload for her that functions flawlessly. The box of Wolf did find a home. I bought her a Ruger PC9 rifle for her birthday. It loves the Wolf ammo. It's her favorite plinker. She's still nursing a sore lip after firing a wimpy .308 load from my Encore pistol.

Thanks for the link...let it rip taterchip.

Let's be careful, here. Our beloved Constitution says that any treaty made under US authority is the supreme law of the land.re: "anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
That last part is a the most troubling. You know that future Leftists will use this to say that International Law binds US law, no matter what the Constitution says.
That is their plan, although it relies upon a deliberate lie and intentional misreading of what the US Constitution actually says. It's been a while since I studied this, but I believe we have Allen Dulles, brother of John Foster Dulles to thank for this nasty and dangerous bit of sophistry.
The entire phrase "anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." refers only to the laws and Constitutions of the various states. In other words, (x + y)*Z = xz + yz. (Constitution or laws)*any State = State Constitution and/or State laws.
In cases where the Framers were referring to the federal Constitution of the United States, they specified so explicitly or used the phrase "this Constitution" to differentiate it from other Constitutions. Hence the preceding phrase Article VI, Sec 2: "This Constitution...". It they had been referring to the federal Constitution and had intended that treaties could trump the US Constitution itself, then that last phrase would have read thusly: "...anything in this Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
Again, I agree with you, the Left is going to make this argument - we just need to remember that it is both logically invalid according to the actual text of the US Constitution, and it is a lie.

My wife bought a 1,000 round box of Wolf 9mm. Her Sig 225 didn't like it. For 9mm the white box at Wal-Mart is a very good deal. Brass case, and no shipping charges.

"must do everything in its power to stop the carnage wrought by the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, while respecting the legitimate interests of lawful firearms producers, exporters, retailers and users."Interesting change of tone from the original conference back a few years ago.
The NRA's participation as an NGO definitely helped.

For 9mm the white box at Wal-Mart is a very good deal. Brass case, and no shipping charges.I'll check it out. The Sig 225 cycles best with a 124 gr bullet. Her Sig and PC9 are the only 9mm in the house. We both prefer revolvers. No brass to chase and straight walled cases are dirt simple to reload.

I remembered that my sorry excuse for a camera can, when it decides too, take outside shots, in the daytime. I laid a spread on the ground and took this. Not the best, but, the best this thing will do.
