Information for Gun Owners and Ammunition Supply problems

This message was just posted on my wall by a friend and I think it should be passed around the Patriot groups to help understand the Ammunition Problem we are seeing at this moment. It does make you wonder if the prices of weapons and ammunition has went up so fast, why would any manufacturer be closing their doors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FYI - A bit of info we should all pay attention to. --

MARLIN FIREARMS CLOSING ITS DOORS-Important for all gun owners
MARLIN FIREARMS
CLOSING ITS DOORS

Even if you do not own a gun you need to know this. I checked this
out on "Truth or Fiction" who verified it. I trust them more than
Snopes.

Marlin Firearms is already closing its doors! They are doing it to
us, America! This needs to be spread to all gun owners and
sportsmen/women. We cannot rely on the media to inform us of these
types of matters.

Something you may not know that Is happening ... Who
is buying the companies manufacturing guns??? For the last several
years a company called The Freedom Group has been buying up gun and
ammunition manufacturers. Some of the companies are Bushmaster,
Marlin, Remington, DPMS, Dakota Arms and H&R. Some people worry that
this Freedom Group is going to control most of the firearms companies
in the United States. If you control the manufacturers you can
decide to stop selling to civilians.

What a perfect way to control guns. Now if you do some
digging you will see that The Freedom Group is owned by a company
called Cerberus Capital Management. Guess who controls Cerberus???
GEORGE SOROS, Obama's chief financier!! He wants to restrict or ban
all civilian guns. Please pass this on to all your freedom loving
friends. This needs to come out. Why have we not heard about this in
the "mainstream" media? I would think this would be BIG news. (Soros
also owns Progressive Insurance). If you don't know who George
Soros is, you need to do some research. This One-World Government
atheist backed Obama with millions of dollars and Obama is a puppet on
a string controlled by Soros.

Send this to every gun owner you know!

Charley Reese's Final column!

A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL.
Be sure to Read the Poem at the end..

Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel... He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.

Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.

This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!

545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?( John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. ) If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. [The House has passed a budget but the Senate has not approved a budget in over three years. The President's proposed budgets have gotten almost unanimous rejections in the Senate in that time. ]

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.

What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you.
This might be funny if it weren't so true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:

To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid...

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
to my doom...'

Do not relax,

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the heck happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!

GO AHEAD. . . BE AN AMERICAN!!!

Weakness spreads like a disease and everyone around you knows that you are carrying it.

My heart was deeply saddened by the loss of the four Americans who senselessly died because of negligence and cowardly people in Washington who take no responsibility for their in action. However, more disturbing is the trend that I am seeing in or country is the lack of concern for Americas safety.

Now I ask you to consider these talking points. America is fast becoming a nation of weak men an women both mentally and physically. It is now a common everyday sight to see a group of dweebs hanging out in just about any venue you can think of with their heads bowed down to their phone or Ipad oblivious to the world around them. They spend a lot of time on social networking sites and they spend even more time looking for the next cool app.

Well let me share something my thoughts on this mind numbing approach to life. America needs strong men and women who are alert and prepared to stand up for her in a selfless way. We need people from all walks of life and generations to be prepared to defend our country. What don't need is a bunch of app loving dweebs sitting on their buts expecting some one to protect them or save them if we come under attack. They need to wake up because there will be no time if another nation decides to launch an offensive. Here's my favorite saying, “ there's no app for patriotism, honor, dedication and love of your county”. Don't expect an app to save your but, get off your backside and do something to demonstrate you're ready willing and able to protect America, because if you do not you won't have to worry about any new apps and your enemy will not be interested in hearing about your Facebook page update.

Do not misunderstand me I like Facebook and other social media sites too so I am not putting them down.

This excerpt is from a recent study.

A little smug self-absorption might be a time-honored trait of at least some subsets of the under-30 crowd.

But over the past few decades the prevailing disposition among college students – today labeled Generation Y or Millennials – has slid into full-blown narcissism, according to a study released this week.

The "all about me" shift means much more than lots of traffic at self-revelatory websites such as YouTube and Facebook. It points, says the study's author, to a generation's lack of empathy, its inability to form relationships – and worse.

"Research shows [narcissists] are aggressive when they have been insulted or threatened," says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University and lead author of the report, called "Egos Inflating Over Time." "They tend to have problems with impulse control, so that means they're more likely to, for example, be pathological gamblers [or] commit white-collar crimes."

For some, the study validates their suspicions of educational and parenting techniques that put undue emphasis on the positive: tot-level self-esteem boosterism, luxury-as-necessity entitlement, and what one calls "instant fame-ification."

"PEACE IS RELATIVE"

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”

- Thomas Jefferson  

 

"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."

- Thomas Jefferson

The first quote leads to the second.  I believe that we have arrived at the second quote.

     I understand that it is very difficult to get your arms around what is going on in our country today.  We ask aloud and we hear others ask, "Is this really happening?"  Maybe we also hear ourselves discounting what we see and hear with statements like, "No, this can't be, this is the United States of America".  The simple response to the previous question and statement is YES.  Yes, this is happening and Yes, we are the United States of America.  Even though our instincts have been dumbed down nearly to a point of non functioning by our very way of life, don't discount your instincts - that gut feeling.  And yes we are called the United States but do any of you believe that things are better now than they were 25 years ago?  Or more pointed, "Do you see things getting better?"  I won't answer that for you.  That's a question you have to answer on your own.  

     On your own - funny, but ultimately that is what "WE" are, a bunch of "On Your Owns".  I'm former military and have played numerous team sports throughout my life so I am aware of all the cliches, like; "There's no "I'" in team"; "two is one, one is none", etc.  But that's just what they are - cliches.  Until "WE" are together, "YOU" are "On your own". 

Liberty is not cliche and its not just a word.  It is the very heart of being American, everything that we are and that our forefathers fought for.  It's everything that we enjoy everyday.  Although, as stated in the first quote above, it has been slowly perverted and is now, quietly tyrannical.  After the 2014 elections it will no longer be quietly tyrannical it will be full blown tyrannical.  How often do you hear people speaking low or cautiously when speaking of things that they should not otherwise have to whisper?  Or scared to do things on the internet?  Or scared to say things over the phone?  I understand cautious.  But why do we have to be cautious?  That's deteriorating liberty.  

Right now we live in "Relatively" good times.  Not good times, "Relatively" good times.  It could be a lot better but It could also be a lot worse.  I think that it will get worse, but right now things are relatively good.  And while I'm speaking "Relatively", I have a "Relative" saying of my own.  And that is, "Peace is Relative".  I have never heard anyone else say it nor have I ever seen it written, I believe that it is mine.  I always like to use an example to explain the meaning when I have to.  "It's like this:  Monday - I was in a 300 yd engagement with 2 poorly trained wanna be jihadists with old AK's.  They didn't shoot particularly well but their rounds snapped the air around me nonetheless.  They were dispatched within 2 minutes.  Tuesday - I was in a 100 yd firefight with 8 AlQueda trained jihadists.  They could shoot better, their rounds also snapped the air around me and kicked up dirt and debris also.  They were dispatched in 15 minutes.  So, see, Monday was more peaceful than Tuesday, 'Peace is Relative'."

     Our "Relative Peace" is as attached to the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution as surely as Monday was more peaceful than Tuesday in the previous example.  Obama will continue to slowly pervert liberty, at least until 2014.  Then, with control of both houses, all hell will let loose to liberty as we "Knew" it.  I honestly don't know why our elected representatives feel compelled to give everything away, but I stopped asking that question of myself.  What I do know is that if WE don't have the 2nd Amendment, we won't have liberty.  

At this point I will say to continuously contact your elected representative's regarding the 2nd Amendment because it's easy to do by e-mail.  Personally, I don't believe that "The peoples representatives" are going to win this one for us.  I believe this fight is going to have to be won by "ACTION of THE PEOPLE".  And I think action will be defined as something most of us probably never thought possible in this country.  I wish I could say that there was something more that we could do now, before it gets ugly, but THEY are slow playing within the bounds of the law, or not.  Within the bounds of law or not doesn't matter, we see what Obama and his cronies think of laws and we also know that the other side of the aisle can't get out of their own way.  

And I leave you with yet another quote of Thomas Jefferson, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

We have a huge problem with youth unemployment and as I leave the UK today after a long 2 months. I wanted to share this great idea we should borrow from the Brits. It's not ground shaking innovation its eminently sensible pragmatic politics. Not every young person is cut out for college. Yet we shouldn't at that point write them off for a life of minimum wage mediocrity.

Vocational training is in many ways far better and produces the skilled workers industry scream out for. Some organizations do already provide apprenticeships yet I think we as a party should support national programs the support and promote companies to introduce apprenticeships. In the UK they have a well thought out program that partners community colleges, the government and employers to deliver well rounded programs that take youngsters aged 16 to 19 from high school (youngsters leave school at 16 in the UK btw).

The programs mix classroom further education with on the job training. The government supports the employers by providing partial funding towards the youngsters wages, money they would normally pay anyway via welfare. For business its a win win concept.  A new report from the Center for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) has found the average apprenticeship completer increases business productivity by £214 per week leading to increased profits, lower prices, better products and higher wages.

This figure rockets to £414 for engineering apprentices and £401 a week for construction and planning trainees.

And the number of annual apprenticeship completions is forecast to rise across all sectors of the economy over the coming decade, growing from an annual 260,000 in 2012/13 to 480,000 by 2021/22 - meaning the total amount contributed to the economy by 2022 will be £4.2 billion.

Charles Davis, head of macroeconomics at the CEBR said ahead of the report: "Raising the skills of the UK's workforce translates into improved UK competitiveness in a challenging post-financial crisis environment. This is a vital part of re-balancing the UK economy and raising the chances of sustained export-led growth."

Despite the evidence, many small employers were struggling to get the message, according to David Way, chief executive of the National Apprenticeship Service.

The Service is working with Barclays (a Major British Bank) and charities Tomorrow's People and The Prince's Trust (A very good idea set up by Prince Charles) , as well as Route 2 training, to introduce the Bridges To Work scheme, designed to help 10,000 young people into work in the coming years. 

Through Bridges Into Work, businesses across England will be able to receive additional free support to take on an apprentice, whilst local Barclays Business Managers will help match up suitable apprentices and businesses in their area.

Way said: "I regularly speak to employers who tell me about the benefits that Apprenticeships bring to their business. Apprentices not only increase productivity but also bring creativity and dynamism into the workplace; the very best examples of which are being showcased in this year’s National Apprenticeship Week.

"We need to get this evidence across, particularly to small employers. The Bridges Into Work Programme will help us to do this, by being able to reach many more small businesses who would benefit from taking on an apprentice."

I also see a similar opportunity to offer welfare recipients still of working age this style of back to work scheme. What do you think?

Could this be the way?

Could this be the way?

 

I lived in Nevada when Harry Reid was first elected to the Governorship of that state.  He was not a bad guy then.  He has changed.  He has become infected with the disease of Power.  Not the power to do good or even the power to do evil, but the power to wield Power.  This one aspect of his life has turned a decent guy into an evil man.  We see this every day with our long term politicians.  Take a look at John McCain:  Graduate of The U.S Naval Academy, Captain in the U.S. Navy, Suffered as a POW, formerly a staunch conservative.  He has served in the US Senate since 1987.  He now suffers from that same disease.  You can see it in his every public comment these days.  I could go on with a litany of both Democrats and Republicans that have ‘served’ in both the house and senate for more than one or two terms and demonstrate the movement toward and the succumbing to the disease of Power.  These people are no longer in office to ‘serve’ but to command.  

 

BOH said after he was elected the first time (he came to office already infected) that the people should leave governing and governing decisions to the professionals.  They should not concern themselves with the process nor the results.  Yeah, he really did!

 

The Federalist Papers allude to the “citizen politician”; one who would serve his term and go back home to make an honest living.  How would you like to get a job that assured you of an income for life equal to the highest pay you attained while in that job and that income be guaranteed the moment you were on the payroll?  Or how about a position that placed you above the law?  You could actually exempt yourself from having to obey any law you imposed on the rest of society.  How about having the rest of the population pay to protect you from them no matter how unpopular or tyrannical your actions became.

 

I have an idea.  It is not a new idea and it certainly isn’t original with me, but it may be an idea whose time has come.

 

TERM LIMITS!  Stringent term limits.  One term for a senator, three for the house members and two for the president, although that last one may be a bit excessive in some cases.

 

The other suggestion I have is the voter ID.  We all know of the voter fraud and copious numbers of dead people that voted in the last election.  Again I must refer to Harry Reid.  In each of his elections he has trailed in the polls by significant numbers on Election Day yet he keeps getting elected? (He quit the governor’s office to become senator the first time.)  I wonder if every voter had to prove who they were how he would fare.  Am I accusing his committee of voter fraud?  Nope.  I have no proof.  No Smoking gun.  Just asking a question.

 

The term limitations would require a popular movement to amend the Constitution.  Somehow I don’t think we could get the elected ones to begin that process.

WATERSHIPDOWN

Take my word for it, the following is relevant to now.
Watership Down, a novel and subsequent Movie from a man who tired of telling the same old fairy tales to his young daughters and began telling his own stories. Suggested required reading/viewing by all and definitely with children who are our future present.
Following Plot Summary from Wikipedia;
In the Sandleford warren, Fiver, a young runt rabbit who is a seer, receives a frightening vision of his warren's imminent destruction. When he and his brother Hazel fail to convince their chief rabbit of the need to evacuate, they set out on their own with a small band of rabbits to search for a new home, barely eluding the Owsla, the warren's military caste.
The travelling group of rabbits find themselves following the leadership of Hazel, previously an unimportant member of the warren. They travel through dangerous territory, with Bigwig and Silver, both former Owsla, as the strongest rabbits among them.
Fiver's visions promise a safe place in which to settle, and the group eventually finds Watership Down, an ideal location to set up their new warren. They are soon reunited with Holly and Bluebell, also from the Sandleford Warren, who reveal that Fiver's vision was true and the entire warren was destroyed by humans.
Although Watership Down is a peaceful habitat, Hazel realises there are no does (female rabbits), thus making the future of their new home uncertain. With the help of a seagull named Kehaar, they locate a nearby warren, Efrafa, which is overcrowded and has many does. Hazel sends a small emissary to Efrafa to present their request for does. While waiting for the group to return, Hazel and Pipkin scout the nearby Nuthanger Farm to find two pairs of hutch rabbits there; Hazel leads a raid on the farm the next day, returning with two does and a buck. When the emissary returns, Hazel and his rabbits learn Efrafa is a police state led by the despotic General Woundwort, and the squad of rabbits dispatched there manage to return with little more than their lives intact.
However, the group does manage to identify an Efrafan doe named Hyzenthlay who wishes to leave the warren and can recruit other does to join in the escape as well. Hazel and Bigwig devise a plan to rescue the group and join them on Watership Down, after which the Efrafan escapees start their new life of freedom to do as they please.
Shortly thereafter the Owsla of Efrafa, led by Woundwort himself arrives to attack the newly formed warren at Watership Down, but through Bigwig's bravery and loyalty and Hazel's ingenuity, the Watership Down rabbits seal the fate of the Efrafan general by unleashing the Nuthanger Farm watchdog. Although a formidable fighter by rabbit standards Woundwort is apparently killed by the dog. His body however is never found and at least one of his former followers continues to believe in his survival. Hazel is nearly taken by a cat, but is saved by the farm girl Lucy, the owner of the escaped hutch rabbits.
The story's epilogue tells the reader of how Hazel, dozing in his burrow one "chilly, blustery morning in March" some years later, is visited by El-ahrairah, the rabbit-folk hero who invites Hazel to join his own Owsla. Leaving his friends and no-longer-needed body behind, Hazel departs Watership Down with the spirit-guide, "running easily down through the wood, where the first primroses were beginning to bloom."

Haven't written in a while and probably won't until Tax Season is Over but I think it is time to bring some normalcy into what the Tea Party stands for. After April 15th I plan to be an activist for change.

I just received an email from the Tea Party raising funds for OPERATION HELL, using a 3 pronged approach. the first prong is 1. Demand the Deportation of Piers Morgan!

As my title states we MUST stop this nonsense. Piers nationality has nothing to do with his thinking and deporting him will solve nothing, besides since when has the Tea party been against FREE SPEECH? What are we going to do next? Demand we deport fools like AL Gore and Michael Moore? Just because they have a different ideology doesn't mean we try and control speech. We are better than that. WE MUST WIN ON OUR IDEAS & IDEALS

We are already regarded negatively by the Press and this kind of statement does nothing to further our credibility. We must be seen as the party of sanity, demanding fiscal restraint and fiscal responsibility. Our total focus should be on demanding the Republican Party nominate ELECTABLE Fiscally conservative candidates who will DEFEND the Constitution and we need to do everything in our power to make this happen. Once we have our fiscal house in order we can tackle other issues. We must educate the ill informed about why this is necessary. Bankrupt nations have no voice in the world but today the vast majority of the population thinks government is the solution and we have unlimited resources. They have no concept of what a balanced budget means and no concept of the fact that we cannot borrow our way out of bankruptcy, or the fact that we BORROW over 40 cents on EVERY dollar WE SPEND.

After April 15th, I will be more involved in making the party a success if I can figure out what or how I can contribute; this blog is just a response to our acting as stupidly as the people we criticize. I have even written a book about the changes we as a country need but I am not here to promote my book, so I won't even mention the title or how you can get it.
The leadership of the tea Party should not be promoting insanity and I for one think the forum for that kind of discussion is on the blogs and not a basis for raising funds because we don't like somebody else's free speech and thoughts. At the leadership level we need an easily understandable coherent goals and objectives statement. I challenge you to tell me what the Tea party stands for. We cannot be a voice for every issue or please everyone. We need to FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS

Libercrats want to know who owns the ammo and how much ammo you have in your possession!

I was having lunch with a friend at a local eatery nine months ago and we were discussing our views on gun control.  When I shared with him the idea of controlling ammo sales he was speechless.  What better way to render guns useless to citizens and leave them defenseless. 

 

Gun owners are alarmed over what they're witnessing in Washington, DC and state legislatures across the country. Realizing they could not succeed in disarming American citizens, Liberal organizations and their political representatives have decided to allow armed citizens to possess all the guns they wish. The hitch is, according to political strategist Mike Baker, the so-called gun-grabbers have decided to track ammunition for those guns by encoding the cartridges and maintaining a database.

 

Ammo control laws will also stipulate that uncoded ammunition will be confiscated either voluntarily or through coercive means, according to Baker.

 

There are a number of states that have proposed legislation not to control guns, but to control the ammunition those guns utilize, claims Baker.

 

Basically the new state laws would provide that, after a specific date, all handgun and “assault weapon” ammunition manufactured or sold in the state shall be coded by the manufacturer, and would include a list of all calibers covered by the coding requirement.  It would mandate the disposal by a certain date of all non-coded ammunition listed, whether owned by private citizens or retail outlets.

 

At the federal level, H.R. 408 introduced by Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ) a new law would require firearms manufacturers to provide ballistics information on all new firearms to BATF, which would retain the information in a National Firearms Ballistics Database. Critics claim part of this bill will be used to mandate encoding ammunition, which is part and parcel of "ballistics" information.

 

"[Lawmakers] should ignore the media hype on the firearms issue and pay attention to what the public – their constituents – are saying on the matter,” gun rights expert John M. Snyder stated.

“According to an August poll conducted by Zogby International for Associated Television News, the American public rejects the notion that new gun control laws are needed by a two-to-one margin,” Snyder continued.

“Maybe the House of Representatives should have taken a reading of public opinion on this issue before rushing headlong without a roll call vote to pass a bill before the recess,” said Snyder, who is a firearms advisor to the National Association of Chiefs of Police.

 

Legal experts say that the US Constitution's Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from making and enforcing such laws and that controlling ammunition and other such activities are relegated to the individual states.

 

As a result, such legislation is pending in 18 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.

 

Most, if not all, of these states are using a model law created by a left-wing organization Ammunition Accountability. Perusal of that organization's web site provides visitors with a recommended law for use by states seeking to control guns by using a "backdoor" approach.

 

For instance, the Ammunition Accountability web site features an article appearing in the Seattle Weekly about one group's mission to push an ammo control law through the Washington state legislature.

 

According to the web site "news" story, the idea for coding ammunition originated when the three proponents of ammo coding "heard the story of a police shooting where two officers fired their weapons, but only one hit the suspect. In an investigation of the shooting, both officers were put on leave, since there wasn't an immediate way to determine which one of them had fired the bullet."

 

While state legislatures differ in the wording of their proposed laws, basically they all require that any and all ammunition be encoded by the manufacturer and they will maintain a mandatory data base of all ammunition sales.

 

"We of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms oppose this backdoor approach to gun control," Snyder, an official with that gun rights group, told NewswithViews.com.

 

The sample legislation stipulates that, “each year in the United States, more than 30 percent of all homicides that involve a gun go unsolved; handgun ammunition accounts for 80 percent of all ammunition sold in the United States; current technology for matching a bullet used in a crime to the gun that fired it has worked moderately well for years, but presupposes that the weapon was recovered by law enforcement;” and “bullet coding is a new and effective way for law enforcement to quickly identify persons of interest in gun crime investigations.”

 

Ammunition coding technology works by laser etching the back of each bullet with an alpha-numeric serial number.  Then when a customer purchases a box of, for example, 9mm cartridges, the box of ammunition and the bullets’ coding numbers would be connected to the purchaser in a statewide or national database. 

The code on the bullet can be read with a simple magnifying glass and then be run through a statewide or national database to determine who purchased the ammunition and where.

 

The rationale being used by proponents of such laws is that cartridges can be used to trace a gun owner who committed a crime such as murder or assault with a deadly weapon, according to the National Association for Gun Rights' Executive Director Dudley Brown.

 

 

But opponents of ammo registration laws counter that this will only increase the incidents of criminals collecting spent cartridges and depriving police of other evidence such as fingerprints on a cartridge left at the crime scene.

 

"NAGR's strategy is simple: make the enemies of our firearms freedoms pay for every inch.  While many so-called "gun rights groups" work to curry favor with politicians and the media, NAGR is working aggressively to hold politicians accountable and to put a stop to gun control," said Brown. 

 

"Liberal gun-grabbers are a cunning lot," said Mike Baker. "Instead of concentrating on disarming citizens of their weapons, they're attempting to render those weapons useless by controlling the ammunition. First, they'll keep records of ammunition sold and collect uncoded ammo, then they will be in a better position to restrict the sale of ammunition to law-abiding citizens. It's a cunning approach to disarming Americans," he said.

A BILLION Illegal Rounds of ammo for DHS .... WHY?

I just sent this note to my Senators (SC-1 is currently without a rep)

I encourage you to share this widely and to send a similar/same note to our politicians.

For  their email addresses.........

http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml

Now, the Note

 = = = =

Senators Scott and Graham , SC.

… and to any other Senators or Congressmen who might receive this note………….

( because I will attempt to SHARE this Widely on the Net)

RE: DHS Hollow Point Ammo

Dear Senators,

It has come to my attention, and you need to know if you do not already, that DHS has ordered over a BILLION rounds of Hollow Point Ammo.

(IF you are unaware of this reported action, SHAME ON YOU)

To my knowledge, please instruct me if I am wrong….

  • Hollow Point bullets are outlawed for International use.
  • The US Department of Homeland Security is NOT authorized for “extra-National “, meaning International, activity
    • In my simple world, DHS is restricted to actions and activities WITHIN the USA
    • SO, the ONLY possible authorized(?)  use of Hollow Point ammo would be WITHIN the USA.
    • Please join me, and many other Citizens, to extract an explicit admission from Obama; not ANY of his henchmen, but Obama personally, that the US Government will NOT use Hollow Point ammo on ANY citizens.
    • IF we need another Filibuster, I’m available to “stand” and help.
    • We do not want ANY wishy/washy, qualified, ambiguous, comments about combatants, terrorists, or whatever, from any Obama operative of any kind. Illegal to use internationally includes within the USA where I come from.
    • REGARDLESS of any International Law loop holes, we want a clear, unequivocal, simple , irrefutable commitment that HOLLOW POINT AMMO will NOT be used by ANY US Government Department, Agency, Branch or other part of the Federal Government on US Citizens; either Internationally or on US Soil.
    • In case I haven’t covered any of the many slippery, bi-bifurcated, weasel-worded, pronouncements that politicians can invent, the simplest, most complete, unambiguous statement we want is………
      • NO PART of the US Government will EVER use HOLLOW POINT AMMO on US SOIL….
      •  IF the above mentioned language needs to be refined or strengthened, I welcome your suggestions

Finally, GIVEN such a statement, Obama personally needs to instruct DHS to distribute any and all such purchased ammo to Citizens on application from them.

THAT should warm the cockles of Bureaucracy…. The need to administer distribution/sharing of over 1 BILLION rounds of Hollow Point ammo to the Citizens; hopefully NOT to terrorists or illegal aliens.

Please provide a specific reply, not a “template reply” , about your agreement or DIS-agreement  to support the issues/actions in this note.

I am awaiting your specific (versus general, one size fits all, Thank You template letter) and pointed reply to this request.

Regards…………….

This is what can happen when mistakes are made and this took place in 2000 just outside Nashville.

A 61-year-old man was shot to death by

police while his wife was handcuffed in another room during a drug

raid on the wrong house.

Police admitted their mistake, saying faulty information from a drug informant contributed to the death of John Adams Wednesday night. They intended to raid the home next door.

The two officers, 25-year-old Kyle Shedran and 24-year-old Greg Day, were placed on administrative leave with pay.

“They need to get rid of those men, boys with toys,” said Adams’ 70-year-old widow, Loraine.

John Adams was watching television when his wife heard pounding on the door. Police claim they identified themselves and wore police jackets. Loraine Adams said she had no indication the men were police.

“I thought it was a home invasion. I said ‘Baby, get your gun!,” she said, sitting amid friends and relatives gathered at her home to cook and prepare for Sunday’s funeral.

Resident Fired First

Police say her husband fired first with a sawed-off shotgun and they responded. He was shot at least three times and died later at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.

Loraine Adams said she was handcuffed and thrown to her knees in another room when the shooting began.

“I said, ‘Y’all have got the wrong person, you’ve got the wrong place. What are you looking for?“‘

“We did the best surveillance we could do, and a mistake was made,” Lebanon Police Chief Billy Weeks said. “It’s a very severe mistake, a costly mistake. It makes us look at our own policies and procedures to make sure this never occurs again.” He said, however, the two policemen were not at fault.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating. NAACP officials said they are monitoring the case. Adams was black. The two policemen are white.

Family members did not consider race a factor and Weeks agreed, but said the shooting will be “a major setback” for police relations with the black community.

“We know that, we hope to do everything we can to heal it,” Weeks said.

Johnny Crudup, a local NAACP official, said the organization wanted to make sure and would investigate on its own.

Weeks said he has turned the search warrant and all other evidence over to the bureau of investigation and District Attorney General Tommy Thompson. A command officer must now review all search warrants.

Deadly mistake because someone did not do their job. The homeowner was afraid for his own safety and his wife's too.  How are we supposed to defend ourselves from mistakes like this kind without being labeled criminals?

Rand Paul Confirms There is Always Hope

4063673806?profile=originalCourageous Tea Party Senator Rand Paul confirmed my statement that no one can foresee the future well enough to be totally fatalistic. Since the presidential election, discouraged patriots have been saying we have lost the country. Obama holds all the cards. All hope of restoring our country back to the vision of our Founding Fathers is gone. Game over.


As a Christian, I have encouraged patriots to keep the faith, stay on the battle field defending what is right. Situations can turn on a dime. Who could have foreseen that Rand Paul would challenge Goliath and win? Senator Rand Paul's successful Filibuster resulting in the White House backing down from their unconstitutional claim that Obama has a right to kill Americans without due process is huge.


I wonder if this latest Obama Administration attack on the Constitution (wanting the right to kill Americans on American soil without a trial) was their jump-the-shark-moment? This extremely scary attempt by the Administration really exposes Obama's Imperial President mindset and arrogance.


And quite frankly, why shouldn't Obama feel emboldened to do whatever he pleases including deciding who lives and who dies? Low info voters have sent Obama the message that as long as he keeps his vow to take care of them and punish the rich, they do not care about losing freedom or him shredding the Constitution. Along with the mainstream media firmly in his back pocket, it is understandable that Obama would think himself invincible – a supreme dictator – a king.


By attempting to secure unprecedented unconstitutional authority to kill Americans at will, Obama may have pushed the envelope a bit too far in the minds of the American people.


Also, I have noticed that a few in the mainstream media are criticizing Obama for closing down the White House tours to hype his bogus pain of sequestration.


And here is another breath of fresh air confirming that the country has not gone totally reprobate. The Bible miniseries is enjoying huge numbers, even beating the zombies.


So, to all you hopeless gloom and doomers in the Tea Party, stop it! There is always hope. You do not know what is going to happen tomorrow.


So you gotta hang on til tomorrow, come what may. Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya tomorrow! You're always a day a-wayyyyyyyyy!!!”
