Twas' exciting.
Think that could happen here? (get a video I mean, of course)
My guess is that Eric Holder will take his orders from Mark Rich and Hillary.
They will scare the sheeple by saying that all old ammo (the type not meant to degrade) is dangerous, unregistered, “military” ammo that does not belong in our homes. The MSM will scare the sheeple by claiming that the “military” ammo is somehow dangerous (you will hear them say with a straight face, “Just like a landmine, the highly dangerous military ammunition has an explosive primer.”). They will say the civillian ammo has important “safety features” and so on.
Holder will make sure the BATF does not allow the importation of any surplus military bolt-action rifles, you can be sure of that. He will say that the old Enfields and Mausers are not sporting guns and no one should own a dangerous weapon of war, etc. The Fudds who voted for Obana will be happy! And I have more bolt-action rifles than the politically incorrect kind, so I am not calling every owner of old guns a Fudd. But there is that sort of person who thinks they are safe because they own an obsolete gun - they never learn.
The First Amendment doesn’t allow government to tell me I can’t yell fire in a theater.
Just the same that government doesn’t have any right at all to restrict the Second Amendment.
Hey, if you want to sit in a jail cell arguing that with all those legal scholars sharing the same space, feel free!
After all, you do have free speech rights!
Heads up to all of you who swore to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.
Let your state Legislatures know that we do not want this bill passed, and petition them to vote no on this bill. We should keep after them until the bill is closed by bombarding them with e-mails, phone calls, and letters.
Get to all your politicians to get to work and NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!!

Remember how Obama said that he wasn’t going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his minions and 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 they 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 handloaded 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 they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!
Please give this the widest distribution possible and contact your Reps!
I know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne."Does that apply to the First and Fourth Amendments as well?
