If the local hobby shop that I visited when I was a kid was time-transported to today it would be shut down by the police as a death trap and purveyor of objects of terror.

One more.

Those lead weights on your vehicles rims,,BANNED.

Pure anti-gun.

[jws3sticks]

Here's my ideal gun for a great long distance deer rifle. It is a little big for ducks and squirrels, however, don't ca know?

With this gun, Sarah Palin can shoot Russians from her house

Love it.

[Dapper 26]

Our tax money pays for this nonsense.

[Ben Hecks]

Look for this to also prevent fishing with lead sinkers.....even split shot on a fly line. It will probably be necessary to park your vehicle outside and walk in if you have lead wheel balance weights. Lots of batteries contain lead....probably have to leave them outside the park...wonder how the park rangers will get around.

[Squantos]

The environazi’s must be pissed.......lead being the natural “green” material that it is being banned in favor of some confabulated unobtanium bullet buildin material !!

Outrage !!...........:o)

[Seaplaner]

The gun grabbers are using every angle they can. A lead ban is one of the most insidious. Tungsten is very expensive compared to lead in particular. They also know that Steel core ammo will be classified Armor piercing.

I suspect that the administration of Marxist Obama is doing a lot of the behind-the-scenes heavy lifting on this, and other measures designed to separate us from our Second Amendment.

Question: How many citizens would it take to, ignoring any and all Federal and State regulations, go and mine tungsten and manufacture steel and bullets, build diesel/gasoline refineries (w/o the ULSD-regs), establish [private] agriculture and power, and generally prepare for CWII to be considered “Of the people” enough that they wouldn’t dare touch us?

It would be an act of war. The United States has pledged those resources as collateral. That's why you will only find the corporations of creditor nations with hard rock mining permits in the American West. You, as an American citizen, have been an enemy of the creditors since the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1933.

All the more reason for the each and separate States to claim their sovereignty in accordance with the 10th Amendment and reclaim all lands confiscated by the Federal Government i.e. all national parks. Each time the Washington Socialist make one of these over-reaching grabs for power, the states need to make a stand and push back.

[OneWingedShark]

Makes sense... after all we went in and kicked ass in Iraq, now they have free and honest elections...
While over here we can’t get a free and honest election... I mean what with all the “recounts”, the “finding” of ballots, the “117% of registered voters” voting, the multi-state voter-fraud perpetrated by ACORN, is there more? Im’m sure there is. [/cynic]

I find it all too easy to believe that the government is against its people.

[Carry_Okie]

You might want to take a gander of this thread.

Read the whole thing; it's a thread with important contributions from a lot of freepers connecting various dots. It explains a lot.

Stupid gun. The ONLY thing a 50 can do wihch a 270 wsm can’t is defeat light armor and for that I’d rather have real artillery than something you’d call a rifle which weighs 30 - 40 lbs.

[ExtremeUnction]

Another angle to a lead ban in the parks is if anyone carried a firearm for protection with lead bullets, they would be arrested.

Yeah but..Who will ever know?? I have carried into many national parks, and no one has ever patted me down. I just drive in and pay the fee. I carried at work for 30 years before I retired, and no one ever knew..

“All the more reason for the each and separate States to claim their sovereignty in accordance with the 10th Amendment and reclaim all lands confiscated by the Federal Government i.e. all national parks.”

Great in theory but it didn’t work out too well with SC and Ft. Sumpter.

[Sender]

Another thing the 50 cal can do is to deliver 12 thousand foot pounds of terminal energy. Ouch.

[Anti-Bubba182]

You have been lucky.

[Axenolith]

‘Zackly, pretty obvious their reasoning unless they’re banning wheel weights and fishing sinkers too...

[DocH]

Thanks to President Bush, they recently "allowed" CCW with permit in National Parks (which SHOULD be wholly unecessary for the practice of OUR 2A RIGHTS on OUR lands).

The left-wing anti-gun maggots & tree-hugging faggots complained that they should have done an environmental impact study before passing this CCW rule - which ANY THINKING person KNOWS is TOTALLY unecessary.

NOW, they pass this rule, which will give them a reason to arrest you for CCW with standard, LEAD component bullets/rounds in national Parks.

They THINK they are being "cute" with our 2nd Amendment rights, but they will soon find out, that we will NOT stand for this shit.

[wendy1946]

You load a 270 wsm cartridge with one of those Barnes all copper 140 gr bullets and enough R25 or whatever to move it at around 3300 fps, and there isn’t anything in North america it won’t kill from 1000 yards. And the gun and the scope will weight around 10 lbs.

We are dealing with the Government nobodies here who can not make it in the real world.
