Here's an upbeat, encouraging statistic: There are approx. 600,000 armed government agents in America. There are approx. 60,000,000 gun owners in America.

Yeah but...

We all have our own full-time jobs. Their full-time job is training for and carrying out whatever they are told to do.

Also though we are many in number, we are spread out. They are organized and come in groups. And have lots of seriou toys and training - all paid for by our tax dollars, I might add...

I’m going to have to get over my nervousness of guns pronto.

Um, does your hammer make you nervous?

[Randy Larsen]

I LOVE IT!

We will succumb only when OUR military turns against us!

Not likely...

If only 1% of us only shoot once, and take out 1 of them, they are *all gone*.

Let that sink in. 1%, 1 shot, once. We'll never have odds that favorable to our success again.

The Russians were scared to try, why would anyone else think it’s worth a try!

[umgud]

That's a completely ridiculous assumption. More like 4 million, tops.

Actually, I was just being facetious in tagging onto another poster's comment. Having said that, I've heard there are roughly 80 million gun owners in the US. And while I can't verify that number, I'd sure guess that far more than 4 million gun owners voted for Obama. I do however, agree with you that they will soon be pretty saddened they did so.

[Randy Larsen]

It’s too late for them to try this foolishness!

We’re already locked and ready!

i'm a new york city cop. what the hell is a "chief at a New York City housing project"?

that does not exist.

It did. On his Web site, Rudy Giuliani claims that he grew New York City's police force by 12,000 officers between his inauguration as mayor in January 1994 and mid-2000. That's just not true. Most of the cops he's counting – 7,100 to be exact – were already housing or transit police who were simply folded into the New York Police Department. The merger of the departments didn't increase the number of police in the city at all.

The beltway sniper also fired his weapon from a concealed position, as in the trunk of a car. I doubt he had to use too much effort to pickup his spent brass.

The Russians may be a lot of things, but "stupid" ain't one of them. On the other hand, have you ever gotten an up-close look at the Obama supporters? If being stupid is a virtue, these people are saints. They aspire to double digit IQs.

They will not show the restraint or wisdom that the USSR did. Think Zimbabwe, not Moscow. Remember, Obama isn't a seasoned general or a successful achiever. He's just a narcissist commie lawyer burnout, and Pelosi/Schumer/Reid are no better. They are communist ideologues who genuinely believe that they must serve humanity by ruling it with an iron fist. And they are stupid and evil enough to get their proxies and zombies to try to disarm the only people who stand in their way: Us.

[DuncanWaring]

I believe 90% of gun owners will fold.

You may very well be right.

But even if 99% of gun owners fold, and half of the remaining 1% go out quick in a "blaze of glory", that still leaves roughly a half-million heavily-armed, highly-competent and implacably pissed-off gun owners.

John Ross claims in Unintended Consequences that the IRA, which kept Northern Ireland in chaos for decades, never numbered more than about 200.

"Can't control guns? Well, they'll control the ammunition," he added during an interview with NewswithViews.com.
Talk about making the hairs stand up on the back of your neck...
Can't take your guns, we'll control the Ammo (F5 repeatedly until it comes up)

Those guys with start-of-the-art stuff vs me with a Garand, and I’ve never fired one before.

I’d put my money on myself.

bttt

Eff that! How do you mandate The destruction of legal private property?

Er, hum, by making it illegal. IOW, contraband.

I'll give 'em my ammunition, bullets first.

[El Gato]

The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government ... George Washington

Sure but the established government has rules. One of them is "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". The Usurpers think they can ignore that rule, and others as well, but they might find out differently. The reason for that rule is to see that the government doesn't violate the rules, too much anyway.

[El Gato]

They are organized and come in groups. And have lots of seriou toys and training - all paid for by our tax dollars, I might add...

True, but there is no way they can maintain 300-500 meter (or larger) sterile zones around a sufficient number of politicians and their appointees to not "discourage" the others.

Thanks for the link.

IMR 4227 is the only powder which can be used in all three (pistol, rifle, and shotshell), iirc., but you have to have the loads right and the selection of calibers and bullet weights is pretty limited.

A person might be able to switch powders and bullets between, say, 115 gr fmj 9mm rounds from different lots to confuse things, but that will only mean all three lots will show up--case, powder, and bullet, and all three would be held accountable for the crime.

Best to just stop this crap from becoming law.

[Ancesthntr]

It would mandate the disposal by a certain date of all non-coded ammunition listed, whether owned by private citizens or retail outlets.

They want ammo disposed of? Really?
