The 2008 Legislative session has begun, and the Ammunition Accountability Act is being introduced across the country. Below is a summary of legislation that has been introduced throughout the United States...Capitalists.
The comments from here have these fascist parasites pretty well pegged--there's no market demand for their brand of subversion, so instead they're going the coercion/force it on us route.

Then when a potential criminal purchases a box of 9mm cartridges,...
ReplyDeleteAnd everyone buying ammunition is a "potential criminal." As the Brady's like to remind us, they just haven't committed a crime yet.
Alan R:
ReplyDeleteThat's just like the old saying *Every Man is a potential rapist. He just hasn't done it yet*. What a disgusting argument the Brady's use. Jerks.
Anyway, this *Ammunition Accountability Act* would put the frangible ammo companies out of business it seems.
But some states have killed these bills shortly after introduction. What is the current status in general?
The logical next step will be to outlaw reloading.
ReplyDeleteA possible unintended consequences headline five years from now:
ReplyDelete"Bullet Tracking Inventors Shot With Stolen Bullets
Seattle, AP: Police have no leads in the murders last month of three Seattle men who invented and marketed a bullet identification system that is now in universal use in the United States following the enactment of the controversial Comprehensive Gun Violence Act of 2010. An anonymous source within the Seattle Police Department told the Associated Press that all had been shot once in the head with their own bullets, apparently stolen off of the manufacturer's assembly line.
While refusing to confirm the anonymous source's account, Seattle Police spokeswoman, P.E. Williker said that the men were likely targeted for their invention, because 'it has been blamed for restrictive laws by gun fanatics.'
An email received by the AP shortly after the murders claimed responsibility, saying it was 'petardier's justice,' a reference to the medieval seige practice of blowing in a city's gates with an explosive charge called a 'petard'. So unpopular was this practice that when the military specialists who employed them were captured, they would be 'hoist upon their own petard' and blown to pieces to universal applause. (Cont. on Page 8A)"
The redcoats are coming for our powder stores. Again.
ReplyDeleteThe cost of this mandate be extraordinarily expensive for everyone. It would take little more than an import ban to eliminate competition from foreign manufacturers, should they not wish to complicate their manufacturing process.
ReplyDeleteThink of the imported ammo on which we rely. Shot cast in Peru. Bullets made in Brazil, Russia, Finland, Czech Republic, Serbia, and Korea. How many of us buy such brands as Eagle, Magtech, Wolf, Lapua, Sellier & Bellot, Prvi Partizan, and PMC?
It's a kick in the teeth for the taxpayer--who is currently rewarding securities fraud against his will--and for the ammo manufacturers who have already absorbed enormous price spikes in commodities. And for what? What is the ultimate crime-fighting scenario here?
"Well Chief, we got the trace results back. It appears that the murderer bought his ammo with a fake ID and a cash transaction at a Cabela's store--just like 400,000 other people that day."
"Good work, Sergeant. Now all we have to do is send the entire force down to Cabela's--grab every one of those goddamn shoppers and put 'em in the hot seat until we get a confession."
I really feel like they'd cross my line if they passed this.
ReplyDeleteThese guys say they are gun owners and all for the Second Amendment. But what they are doing is treasonous conduct to scam money. They want to use elected whore to bring state bills so they can create a new business that will drive up prices of ammo to levels never seen before and at the same time reduce the number of ammo manufacturers.
ReplyDeleteThese three men are not any freedom loving American's friend, not even by a long shot.
I like pump, single, or double shotguns with 18.5" barrels firing #4 buckshot thru a modified choke.
ReplyDeleteI also like 12 ga slugs from the same platforms and an improved cylinder choke, especially I can cast them at home from wheelweights:
12 ga Slug Mold
Of course, you can do the same with buckshot, as this poster at WarRifles points out:
I use a Lee .312 diameter 2 cavity round ball mold for "O" buckshot. 12 balls each and Buffer from Ballistic Products give a load that patterns better than factory "OO" and still has enough oomph to get the job done. I use a mixture of 7 lbs wheel weights, 1 lb of 50/50 bar solder and 4 lbs of virgin lead.
You see, I am a hunter and a sportsman, and I believe that hunting ethics require me to close to within a sufficiently close range so that the game I am seeking doesn't needlessly suffer.
Because I am an environmentally-sensitive hunter and sportsman, I also retain the empty cartridges I fire so they do not sully my hunting area.
For the same reasons, I also like revolvers and bolt-action rifles firing cast-lead reloads for hunting and sporting use. Gas checks can be purchased or fabricated from soda can material so that surprising velocities and energies can be produced, with more than adequate accuracy for hunting and sporting purposes.
Folks interested in more on this topic should visit the CastBoolits forum for lots of useful information.
For hunting and sporting purposes only, of course.
Really.
[/tongue in cheek]
Hell, me and a lot of my friends, many ex-LEO and ex-SpecOps have enough loaded ammo stockpiled of all types to see us through a war of considerable duration if need be. We also have machine shops. reloading, and casting equipment. Manufacturing powder would be no big squeeze either.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the imports would still come. The "success" of the drug war proves that. Just means none of us would competitively shoot anymore, we'd practice on remote private land, which is what many of us do anyway.
Drive more of us beneath the radar, libtards, that'll help you how?
I've got reliable WWII ammo I use for plinking purposes.
Genies don't go back in bottles.
Proud to note the Texas isn't on the list of states that signed on to this moronic bullshit.
addendum: Be just as funny if Mike V's developer death situation came true and they used a bow like Charlie in the book on the Quislings.
ReplyDeleteWe have a SCOTUS decision on 'the Right of the people to keep and bear arms' now. If they would hurry up and make a ruling on 'shall not be infringed', we might fend off such unconstitutional idiocy as this Ammunition Accountability. Why do I feel like we have passed the point of fixing this 'within the system'?
ReplyDeleteTom sez: "addendum: Be just as funny if Mike V's developer death situation came true and they used a bow like Charlie in the book on the Quislings."
ReplyDeleteShould have thought of that. One night back in the mid-90s I had a dream where I was watching a bunch of guys beat bright-guy gun-controller Josh Sugarman to death with baseball bats and tire irons, all while they were chanting, "No guns were used in your death. No guns were used in your death. . ."
Weird. Satisfying, but weird. ;-)
