...President-elect Barack Obama said Sunday that gun-owning Americans do not need to rush out and stock up before he is sworn in next month.Or, as another ""community organizer is reputed to have asked*:
Armas para que ?[Via Zachary G]
* I've never actually been able to confirm this with an authoritative source citation...
Grapevine: I'm hearing that team Obama are not upset with American going out and buying all the G&A they can afford. The reason for them not caring is because they are going to make a new law that every bullet must have a number on it so that bullets can be traced back to the buyer. All ammo, that folks have "all ammo" must have a number on it by 2012 or the holder of such ammo will be a criminal.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, he's not after the gun, per se. He's going to make it so you don't have anything to shoot with it. But I question this bullet and gun thing with shotguns. Because shot can't be numbered. Look for only single and side by side or over and under shotguns to be legal. Pumps and semi-auto's are going to be outlawed.
Maybe he's not going to beat a path to outlaw guns. He and his marry band of Marxist will go after ammo first.

ReplyDeleteDavid, this came from Newsmax who pulled it out of Chicago to reprint it.
Well, I wondered how long it would taake before the gun grabbers got around to the ammo. Looks like they're finally recognizing our Achilles heel.
ReplyDeleteThat heel may not belong to Achilles. How many millions of rounds would you say are buried out yonder? Upwards 100 million homes or more would have to be searched, to find the unmarked ammo. Since "actual" criminals would not comply, their ammo, once seized by, shall we say, others, what about it? How about bullets stockpiled before the ban? How about making FMJ into hollow points, shattering their numbers on impact, or modifying already numbered cartridges otherwise? I think it can and will be gotten around anyway, by a number of means. And in the end, I think things are going to be so f-ed up that having unmarked and unnumbered ammo will be the least of anyones worries. The bureaucrats and such would do better to worry about me.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking to the "Cuban mother," he built his devastating attack meticulously. "Cuban mothers...of the soldier, the revolutionary, of the citizen...feel that their sons, finally, are out of danger." But they must not yet relax. Their common enemy was the Student Directorate, which had just stolen arms from a government arsenal. Then, the famous phrase, "Armas, para que?" And as the crowd fell under his spell, "Arms, for what? To fight against whom? Arms, for what? To blackmail the president of the Republic? To threaten the government? To create organizations of gangsters? If we have government of young and honorable men and if the country has faith in them, if we are going to have elections, why should arms be stored away [i.e., stocked up]?" (Page 200)
