That if everyone who purchased an AR style rifle or a “high capacity magazine” for either a pistol or a rifle in the last year bothered to call their senators and congressmen, the gun control legislation would never, ever, come to the floor.
So call.
Be heard.
Obamacare prevents any gun registration.
Amendment 3276, section 2716, part C. supposedly says that there cannot be any collection of “information relating to the lawful possession of a firearm or ammunition”.
So until the Senate and house change the law, registration is, for now, illegal.
This doesn’t, of course, prevent confiscation or limitations on magazine capacity, nor making guns with certain features illegal.

When the government decides to make you a criminal:
“Fear makes the wolf look bigger”
If you are a regular reader here, you are likely a Second Amendment supporter.
You likely own more than 1 firearm, and you likely shoot more than once or twice a year.
So if you haven’t, it is time to get off your ass and make sure that your senator and representative knows where you stand. Yeah, I know you told him/her last year, and the year before that, but you need to tell them again. They may be new also. They have really really short memories. They live by polls, and if the pollsters (with an agenda) tell them that the majority of their constituents want more gun control, then that is how they are gonna vote. Tell ’em otherwise.
Take the time to tell them what YOU think. If enough of us bother then they get a real view of their constituents needs and wants and desires. They understand that people who bother to call or email or fax (don’t do a snail-mail, it’ll take too much time getting to them after being inspected for anthrax and all that) your views. If you write an email or send a fax, be firm, but polite. Be clear. Be single issue (it seems to be all that they can understand).If you call, be polite to the staffer who answers the phone. Clearly state your opposition to any further gun control laws. Be respectful.
Remind them that you vote and that you will actively work for or against the Senator’s/Representative’s reelection depending on how they vote.
You can find your congresscritters HERE.
If the continued exercise of your Second Amendment rights is important to you, then get off your butt and make sure the folks sent to DC to represent you know your views.
If you don’t then they’ll guess. Likely incorrectly.
Don’t make ’em guess.
Tell ’em.
Perhaps he was misquoted.
But at this point, were his teeth on fire, I’d not unzip to put them out.
While I feel sorry for Gabby Giffords, who didn’t deserve to be shot in the head,
The fact is that the proposals put forth would not have stopped Jared Laughner from being able to purchase the firearm he used in her shooting.
BECAUSE HE WAS NEVER REPORTED AS INSANE BY THE AUTHORITIES despite many chances to do so.
Maybe if the police and sheriff had done their jobs with reporting Laughner, you might not be wanting to restrict my rights…and your wife would not be damaged.
I lost all respect for her and Mark Kelley, her husband, for allowing themselves to be used as tools by the gun banners.And for their alloing themselves to be used by the “Americans for Responsible Solutions” group which wants “common sense solutions”.
Again, what is/are “common sense solutions”? Give us even one solution that does not infringe on my rights, or the rights of other law abiding citizens to own and use our firearms. One solution which would have stopped even one of the crimes you hold up as reasons to restrict my rights. One solution which would have saved a single victim.
Just one.
Or you are lying to yourself as well as the rest of us.
My firearms didn’t kill anyone today…nor yesterday, nor lat week, nor last year.
But you want to disarm me anyway, and I think it is for other reasons.
But isn’t it interesting that just as the public begins to forget the Sandy Hook shooting, that the media is not blasting all sorts of info about the Aurora, Colorado shooter all fully up to speed on the dangers of guns and all that.
Interesting….Innit?
Someone who was …er…suspicious and who sees conspiracies in everything might be wondering if that is the case here. That the message is being massaged to keep the sheep people enraged so as to push opinion in the “right” direction.
“Arms discourage and keep the invader
and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as
property. Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of
the use of them.”
Thomas Paine
It matters not at all where the plunderer comes from. It matters not at all if he is an invader or a countryman.
have found that you really really wish that you’d bought more ammo? Bought that rifle you were thinking about buying. Wish that you had purchased that first AR or AK 6 months ago? How many thought you had time then, but ran out of time.
Me, I can always use more, but I am stocked well enough.
Hope ya “bought it cheap and stacked it deep” . Hope you have the tools you need, if and when.
‘Cause I was told that the pipelines are empty. What is left is what there is. Demand has so totally outstripped supply that there will not be significant amounts of .22lr, .223/5.56, .307/7.62 etc for
months. Likely months on pistol ammo too. Imported ammo may never return if a gun bill gets passed. Rifles and pistols may not be available for months, if then. Even without a ban.
Scary, ain’t it?
Hope yer stocked.
I WAS planning on buying a Mosin, but at $300 instead of $99, I think I may pass. Bummer.
’cause the dollar won’t be worth wiping your ass with at the rate we are going.
