We are one Supreme Court justice away from giving President Obama the same sort of power that Hugo Chavez used to destroy Veneuzela.

Veneuzela should be Venezuela.

FUBO!

Operation Gunwalker was done to allow this to happen.

The Operation got caught red handed, but the reason for it is carried out anyway.

The law means nothing to Obama. He makes his own law.

Congress allows him to do it .

Why do we need Congress?

I’ve never owned a gun, well maybe a BB gun.
I’m seriously thinking about getting a 22 rifle.
Thoughts???

I don’t know a lot about guns. My hubby has a handgun, which I’m uncomfortable with, don’t ask me why. But, the rifle, nor the shotgun bothers me at all. I like the rifle...lol The shotgun is to nosy and has a kick.

What you buy should depends on what you want to use it for.

If you just want to plunk at target shooting a 22 is fine.

They are accurate and cheap to use ,and they are fun to shoot.

If you want it for protection you need something with more stopping power.

For close up stopping power you cannot beat a shotgun, for range you need a rifle. If you are a good shot a rifle is fine , if you just want to point and shoot the shotgun is the way to go.

Others may have different opinions,but those are mine.

A .22 rifle is a very good start. If you do not know anything about guns, you might go to a gun club and let them know that you are a beginner. They are nearly always willing to help and to be courteous and respectful. We all had to start somewhere.

Or you bring along your 15 cousins and they buy one a piece. Then you walk down the block to the next gun store. Rinse and repeat. If you've run out of gun stores and you're only on day 4, you shuffle through your stack of stolen identies and start over again.

If I had the money I would go out and buy 2 semi-auto rifles and encourage everyone I know to do the same. Let them investigate. Bury them in paperwork. Maybe they’ll figure out that it’s a waste of time and that they have other more important things to do.

This "law" change is illegal. Anyone trying to enforce it is a felon.

Treat accordingly.

A lot of people will tell you a simi-auto is the way to go, problem is SA’s can be a bit finicky with the ammo you shoot. Some SA’s simple will not shoot unjacketed bullets after a couple of rounds.

First one, I'd get a pump or lever action. You get fairly quick follow up shots without all the problems a SA can give you.

Check what the pawn shops have. Bad economy is a great time to pick up some good deals on guns at pawn shops.

Yep, you have honest citizens armed and well trained in gun use. I can betcha the criminal population will drop like flies ;) And I’m not talking about the wild west. It’s just a fact if the criminal thinks the person is armed and well trained they aint’ even gonna go there. They will just crawl back into whatever hole they climbed out of or will risk being put into a hole by an armed citizen.

The ATF also put GPS tracking devices in the gunwalker guns. How many other guns to they force the manufacturers to put these in?

As far as I know, the ATF put exactly two GPS devices on gunwalker guns. They were able to follow the track of one down into Mexico until the batteries quit.

They don't force manufacturers to put any on, that I know of, because it would be impractical, illegal, and stupid.

We should remain on our guard, of course, as they are always cooking up schemes to advance their control and effectively disarm the citizenry. I would worry more about mandated RFID chips on guns. It is a far more practical technology.
