Can you or anyone else add the maximum number of ragheads and communists can we kill with those weapons.(Without reloading)

[umgud]

I have a new compact Glock 30 (.45 ACP) that is imported from Austria and this is OK and an old full sized 1911 is not?

[Sparta]

And probably a copy of Communist Manifesto and the Koran for reading while on the toilet.

The BATF has, over the years, employed and accumulated a grpup of overzelous left wing dingbats to work there.

[ampat]

We The People, in order to form a more perfect union, ensure domestic tranquility, do hereby abolish the BATF.

[Wonder Warthog]

"No authority to control........That's the real issue here isn't it?"

Well, they have the same levels of control that they always had (i.e. licensing the dealers, background checks, etc.).

What they REALLY mean is no NEW/EXPANDED authority.

[RLK]

Bush could fire the bozos responsible for this action. I would.

----------------------------

He'll never do it. Bush has a type of distant unincisive personality that doesn,t like domestic confrontation with any degree of controversy. Something safe like bombing ragheads thousands of miles away is his style.

[Lurker]

A friend of mine had a couple of cases of black tip .30 carbine ammo of Korean War vintage.

We shot it all up though.

Here are the eligibility requirements, purchase instructions and order form, and here are the rifles available for purchase. Enjoy.

What is with these people?

Part of Clinton's legacy. What is a fearful thought is that someday, these left-wing liberal idiots can return to power. These bureaucratic slugs in the BATF should be salted and replaced with thinking human beings.

[GaltMeister]

That's a lot of weapons to arm a new Home Guard with. (If we can get them all to fire.)

Sparta, a fellow Freeper posted a few days ago that he had a WW2 vintage French Army rifle - It had never been fired, and only dropped once!

[Sparta]

LOL!!! That weapon can still be used to kill ragheads and their Commie allies. French rifles were decent, but nowhere near the par of an SMLE or a Mauser. (Time to form a Home Guard now.)

[Ground0]

News Flash: the BATF wants to ban ANY type of firearm no matter how old or outdated. As a matter of fact, they want to ban toy guns as well. Makes me wonder what the hell they'll do with themselves if successful.

Makes me shudder.

Sarco's Web site draws attention to a new feature: "Machine Gun Dave's Machine Gun Page," where the top item is a 1928 Colt commercial water-cooled tripod listed for $1,250.

Jeff and Richard obviously didn't click through and see that what is for sale is just the tripod. It must be pretty scary to NYT readers that a water-cooled machine gun tripod is within the reach of anyone with $1,250.

much thanks for the links

What is with thesepeople?

For a comprehensive understanding  of BATF ALL people who are interested in preserving the 2nd Amendment cannot understand their rationale or insanity  without reading "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross (available from Amazon .com

The cover  sums it up:

[caltrop]

How is this possible with George W. Bush, that well known supporter of the 2nd Amendment, in the White House? (sarcasm)

[Springman]

Bump for later.

I had a fat-assed, ATF inspector tell me once that ATF didn't like the fact that people didn't have to sign for ammunition anymore. The alleged reason was that "why, a dealer could be selling ammunition to children *and we'd never know.*"

This guy was the epitome of the offensive, officious, self-important bureaucrat with an attitude. Always remember that the majority of Nazis weren't goose-stepping stormtroopers, they were petty bureaucrats who used to be some dolt that lived next door.
