Guns and the barometer of discontent

The additional background checks for your Georgia permit means that many other states, including Texas for example, can now have CHL reciprocity agreements with Georgia.

very interesting... ping!

A lot of shooting forums have sellers with inflated prices on reloading components, they are acting just like the people that were first in line to buy an Xbox 360 or a Halo game and they buy as much as they can carry and then go out the store to sell it again to the frenzied desperate buyers.

This the current face of America.

They could care less about patriotism, its all about money.

They were lied to by the MSM, though obfuscation and selective reporting. People can only act on the information that they have. A great many people in the U.S. rely on the MSM for most of their political information.

In the 1990s, conservatives riled against the liberalism of the Clinton administration; the first decade of the 21st Century was characterized by liberals chanting “Bush lied, people died.”

Obama lied, freedom died.

[AlaskaErik]

Seems like most of the job losses are in states that voted for Obama. If they thought he was going to make it all better are they in for a rude shock.

I have never in my entire life seen guns and ammo sold out almost everywhere for MONTHS!!! At first it was mainly the .233/5.56 due to people thinking the AR ban would be re-instated. It is getting worse by the day. Now .22LR .38 9mm all of it is getting scarce. .45 ACP, too. It’s nuts out there.

[mojitojoe]

We are tired of being targeted and insulted. The tea parties were an initial steam release. I do not expect this govt to back off.
_______________and I don’t expect the citizens to back off either. The government pushed too much, they may end up regretting it. Their numbers are small compared to the millions of mad Americans and I can assure you, it is NOT only Republicans. Go to DU and read, they are pissed as well.

[Texas Fossil]

There will be another rude shock, that I would call the Awakening of the Sleeping Giant!

Americans are fed up:

They’re fed up with their hard-earned money funding government bailouts while corporate executives feel free to rape, pillage and plunder; they’re fed up with illegal aliens stealing the few jobs that aren’t off-shored to Mumbai; they’re fed up with being blamed for corruption and violence in Mexico …

Americans are fed up with having government tell them what guns they may or may not own; they’re fed up with grandmothers getting strip-searched in airports to avoid offending the sensibility of Islamists; and they’re fed up with media elitists making the news instead of reporting it …

Americans are fed up with the fast march to socialism embraced by the current administration, and they are fed up with the abridgment of their freedoms.

Good rant,  to which I'd add;

We're fed up with a government that daily exceeds its Constitutionally defined limits by leaps and bounds.

We're fed up with both parties spending our children's future on boondoggles, earmarks, personal perks, and welfare.

We're fed up with ever-more intrusive government that believes we have no right to personal or financial privacy, yet thinks it's perfectly o.k. to have hundreds of billions of our tax dollars funnelled into black budgets where there is zero public accountability. Classifying a proposed treaty on "national security" grounds is par for the course with the out of control monstrosity called the U.S. Government.

We're fed up with a government that claims "ignorance of the law is no excuse", yet they pass hundreds of pages of laws and regulations daily that we are expected to comply with.

There's a hell of a lot more that we're fed up with, but that's a good start.

At gun shows, potential buyers form hours-long lines to get in, only to pay inflated prices for ammunition and semi-automatic firearms they assume the Obama administration will eventually ban.

The ammo is inflated, but you could still find a fair price on handguns if you looked. AR-15's were ridiculously high priced. A rifle that was going for $800 in November is now $1200.

If only 1 in 10,000 gun owners decide to use them, the zero is facing 80,000 snipers. Just thing the chaos that two did to the DC corridor.

[elkfersupper]

Send a copy of this to each member of Congress and the pathetic usurpers in the Administration. Their quest for power coupled with their arrogance has rendered them clueless. They’ve become corrupt and blinded by their Elitism. Their disregard for American history and their failure to live up to the oath they took to protect and defend our Constitution has compromised the American people and left us vulnerable to our foreign enemies.

As near as I can tell, they don't care.

[Still Thinking]

...a recent Department of Defense decision to crush once-fired cartridge casings rather than re-selling them to commercial ammunition reloaders caused such a huge outcry that the decision was quickly rescinded.

That's good news. I hadn't heard they backed down on that. I just love paying my own government to steal from me.

If only 1 in 10,000 gun owners decide to use them, the zero is facing 80,000 snipers.

There's 800 million gun owners in the US?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Darned math! I didn’t have enough fingers and toes so I used my dogs. I forgot he has only 8 toes.

[verity]

Keep this in mind whenever seeking help from your rottys. lol

[Squantos]
