You knew it wouldn’t take long

Background checks for smokeless and black powder.

One of the gun grabbers dreams.

Of course, it is sponsored by Lautenberg, one of the perpetually pants-shitting liberals.

Do these people not realize how many recipes there are for low order explosives? How easy (relatively) they can be to make? How many people know how?

ETA:

Betcha this gets used to limit the amount of rounds you can buy or legally possess because of the powder they contain.

Bet on it. It is a logical extension.

If the NRA is SO POWERFUL that it can make Senators quake in their boots vote against the wishes of 90 80 some large percentage of their constituents and vote “NO” on the gun banning bills….

Should we all petition Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board members to start talking to the Senators and Congressmen about things like the deficit and spending and unemployment and the increase in entitlements and immigration and Social Security and such?

I mean, if we and the NRA have so much power and all…..

If yer congressthing voted against the gun ban legislation(s) then you should take the time to call or email a thank you.

If they voted FOR such garbage, call and ask demand an explanation.

When I did so at Donnelley’s office, the girl answering the phone at first tried to explain, then assured me that thre would be a letter forthcoming with an explanation. She said that I wasn’t the first to ask for such a thing.

We shall see.

Take the time to raise a glass to Paul Revere (and his compatriot William Dawes, who did the same thing by a different route, but was never immortalized in poetry).

Mr. Revere and Mr. Dawes embarked on a journey to warn their fellow citizens that “The British are coming!” Coming for the powder and shot that the colonials would need to defend their homes and property.

The British were, essentially, planning on doing what Obama, Feinstein and her ilk wanted to do to you now, here in the present. Take a way your means to resist. Take away your ability to remain free and to decide for yourself what your future brings. Take away the right of self determination. Make you a servant rather than a citizen.

Thanks to Paul Revere and William Dawes, the British failed to confiscate the powder and shot (ammunition) that the colonials needed. Thanks to those two men, the colonials were ready when the British came. Ready to resist. And they did, but that is another story for another time.

Essentially, thanks to those men’s actions, the colonials were able to resist and to begin the fight which led to the Revolution, and ultimately, to the creation of the United States and the Constitution….

So today, take the time to raise a glass, Take the time to thank those two men, who risked arrest and imprisonment to warn their fellow citizens. Think on their actions and their courage and their contribution to the revolution and, ultimately, our country.

Take the time to watch this, or to read the words of Longfellow’s poem below.

Think of the bravery, the courage and the guts they had.  And how well we and our ancestors were served by their actions.

Raise a glass, make a toast, think of those men. Say thank you whatever Deity who hears you for men such as these. We owe them greatly.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

He said to his friend, “If the British march By land or sea from the town to-night, Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch Of the North Church tower as a signal light, One, if by land, and two, if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country folk to be up and to arm.

I gotta try this someday…

Despite polling data showing that YOUR constituents wanted no part of the Manchin-Toomey bill, you went ahead and voted along the party lines. Following the wished of Der Leader, and not your constituents.

Rest assured that I will do all I can to see you removed from the office of Senator. Lots of people drive by my place of business. They’ll see your voting record . They’ll see support for whomever is your opponent. I’ll donate money and time to your opponent. I really don’t care if the persion running against you is a communist pederast, he will get my support over you.

You fucking little fuck.

that the original bill, S. 649 by Harry Reid, is up for a vote tomorrow….and this one actually has a chance to pass the Senate.

The others were just window dressing.

I dunno, but pay attention tomorrow.

I intend to let my Senators know I am still watching.

ETA: GO here for more info

To ever use a Pressure Cooker (for canning or cooking)you might want to buy one before the BATF(e) decides that they need controls…background checks, serial numbers, 4473’s etc.

Also, if you use powder for reloading, might want to stock up.

I’m gonna go this weekend and stock up on FFg and FFFFg ….

I will also look for parts for my pressure cooker…Just in case.

Or at least realize what voting for more gun control would do to their prospects.

54-46 AGAINST!

National Journal makes all sorts of excuses. They repeat the 90% manta, (although I don’t believe that poll) and they blame, of course, the NRA and something called the “National Association for Gun Rights”…an organization which I had never heard of until today.

But ultimately, I think this was a battle fought and won by We The People…We called, we wrote, we e-mailed and we made out wishes known…..And that, more than anything else, kept our Senators in line.

ETA: Now maybe gun and ammo pricing will return to normal……

That the President is crying crocodile tears over the victims of the madman(men?) who set the bombs in Boston.

If he finds the act of setting bombs so terrible, so repugnant, then why is he friends with William Ayres?

The man has said “I don’t regret setting bombs” and “I feel we didn’t do enough” about his past. Mr Ayres is a domestic terrorist. 


He is also a friend of, and mentor to Barack Hussein Obama. One of the people who helped launch Obama’s political career. 


To my knowledge, William Ayres has never apologized for his action. 


Had things not gone awry, he would have participated in setting EXACTLY the same type of bomb that was used in Boston. 


Yer Barry still counts Ayres as his friend. 


So…., Barry, which is it? Bombing is good as a political statement? Or is it bad? Is terrorism ok, or is it not? 


Tell us, please.
