"Obama has said in the past that he supports “common-sense enforcement” for guns, while believing that the Second Amendment – the right to bear arms – should be respected."

And of course I believe in the tooth fairy.

We suddenly were able to pick up some hollow points yesterday at our local gun club - and they rarely have any available - and there was no limit on boxes of 9-mm FMJs either. Hopefully, the shortage is easing. But the shooting lanes were still packed, and I wasn't the only woman, either.

I carry 15 guns at any given time, along with 15 magazines of various ammo.
Oh, and a baseball bat up my --- for when I run out fighting zombies.

And if I lose my bat I can always rely on my SPORK!

"She appreciates the business, but wishes that more solid facts were out there for people to rationally look at the current situation. Blame “the darn Internet” for that, she said."

Yeah, I'll blame the internet -- for still having the freedom to act as whistle blowers when need be. Don't knock it. Or perhaps she would be happier in a safer line of work. How about telephone work? You know, answering the queries on future gun buyers who are forced to wait for some ATF joker finish his corned beef sandwich and beer before he decides to look at your application, and then arbitrarily deciding that your too old and extends the waiting time unnecessarily, hoping the purchaser will kick the bucket before he can finish buying his new gun.

Go ahead. Ask me about it. I'm still waiting for approval for a 22 rifle which I'm not going to buy now anyway.

I live about a mile from the Tri-County Gun Club, as the crow flies. I’ve noticed lots more noise coming from there lately on the weekends.

Me? I’m hoarding my ammo until availability returns.

Nobody stockpiles guns and ammo when they only see blue skies ahead.

“We essentially have two realities, when it comes to guns, in this country. You’ve got the tradition of lawful gun ownership …. And then you’ve got the reality of 34 Chicago public school students who get shot down on the streets of Chicago,” said Obama, according to an MSNBC transcript of the Jan. 15, 2008, Democratic primary debate in Las Vegas. “We can reconcile those two realities by making sure the Second Amendment is respected and that people are able to lawfully own guns, but that we also start cracking down on the kinds of abuses of firearms that we see on the streets.”

The problem with this is that legal gun owners will be targeted, not the urban thugs.

If he was truly serious, he would up the penalties for armed robbery and gang membership, but alas, this would adversely affect his key constituency.

Okay, let's see:

We've got Blombirg's mentally ill criminals prowling gunshows looking to stop the private sales of firearms and have a record of ownership of all guns.

And you have CA starting a database on gun owners through ammo sales.

And you have moronic statements by Odumbo’s minions about guns going to Mexico and other such lies.

Sounds like the ultimate suppression of our second amendment rights has begun.

The fact that more and more guns are being sold doesn’t necessarily mean that gun violence will increase in the short term, he said, but more guns in the country does mean that there is more potential for them to get into the wrong hands.


And also more potential that they are in the right hands..........

Once the communists, once known as Democrats,get control of the food supply it won’t do any good. Besides, obama is still moving rentlessly toward accomplishing the communist [Democrat] agenda of total control over the people and the total destruction of the United States.

In this they are one step from and that step will be accomplished once obama care is passed and signed into law.

So, the Obama administration worries gun owners?

“I think there’s an aspect to that,” Pitts said. “I think the political concerns are pretty fresh in everybody’s minds. They don’t know where this administration is going.


Here are a few clues:

U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade

US-Mexico groups urges new US assault weapons ban

United Nations Still After Your Guns

Lautenberg Proposes "Extraordinary Powers" Given To the U.S. AG To Limit Gun Sales
