There is one thing that can be said of President Obama with certainty -- his election has had a phenomenal effect on gun sales.
Across the country, ammunition prices are soaring and many guns are in short supply as weapons fly off the shelves at stores. This is a telling economic indicator about consumer confidence as many Americans stock up for fear that the end is nigh. It's also a logical reaction to gun-owner fears that Democrats will implement far-reaching new gun controls. There is cause for concern. Leaders in the Obama administration and Congress have stated that they plan to limit what guns Americans can buy and that guns should be registered. . . . .

Or, selling some of your guns, to afford ammo for the ones you have left?
Let's see a show of hands – who HASN”T had this happen to them?, or a friend or someone you know, or someone you heard about......
IMHO, there's A LOT of that going around these days, all that data from the 4473's might not be that accurate, ya know....
It wouldn't be valid. Treaties are only valid if they are made under the authority of the United States (i.e., under powers legally delegated). This is made very clear in the Federal papers (33, IIRC), and there are more than enough quotes by the founders to prove original intent.
From what I’ve heard,
some guy has been going around buying up guns from everyone.
I think his name was Bill, or Fred, he had a beard, and wore a real-tree camo hat.
Yes I need to read UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES again. I remember how Henry took on the issues one by one. Never thought it could get like that but we seem to be on the path.
Not too long ago, I just read The Turner Diaries.
Now, their is a lot of nasty anti-semitic and racist stuff in there on the part of the protagonist (Turner),
but the descriptions of the government’s actions, and the liberal excusers of those actions, are entirely prescient. It was written in the 70’s.
IMHO one of the Stones’ best songs, ever.
You know, I’ve heard that myself....
“He can’t bypass Congress - treaties are ratified by the Senate. Ain’t gonna happen.”
He can’t by-pass the senate. You have more faith in the senate than I do, there’s only a hand full of conservatives in the senate.
I notice that my local gun emporium has MANY stripped RRA lowers, and quite a few built lowers, at pre-0bama prices. Ammo is still outrageously expensive, but very available, at least at that store.
Heh. And I was complaining about $37.50 for a box of .44 mag...
With who is in power today, your time in Hell has yet to begin.
Now that's something
Let's not forget the presstitutes who aid and abet all of the above by allowing them to operate in the shadows. The "Fourth Branch of government" needs a good squirt of Roundup.
That's good, maybe the parts suppliers are beginning to catch up. I've seen new CavArms polymer AR lowers in stock on a few of their dealers' websites, too. Those aren't everyone's cup of tea, but they do have the advantage of high-speed production.
I've found it is still tough to get the smaller bits and pieces needed to complete an AR, though. That is what has driven sales of the less-common .223 rifles, like the Kel-Tec, the Armalite AR-180b and the Bushmaster Carbon-15 series.
I don't have any faith in the Senate. I have faith in the Senators wanting to get reelected.
With them knowing that they won't get reelected if they vote for a treaty such as this, I have full faith in the Senate.
It was just a matter of time;-)
I love that song!
