This is one of the reason other countries coined the phrase "stupid Americans."

Obama is not "takin' away yer guns" or bullets. The reason for the shortage is that the manufacturers of both ammo and guns spread the rumor to increase their sales and half the country bought into it... yep, this is definitely one of the reasons for that phrase.

I have all the ammo and guns I can afford to buy (no shortage of guns or ammo, only money.)

I want all the country (not half) to buy guns and ammo. If it did, there would be a shortage of antigun politicians.

"Stupid Canadians"

"[Toronto] Police Seize 400 Guns from Registered Firearm Owners"

It's becoming easier and easier for Americans to invade and conquer "stupid Canadians".

I would have no problem with members of Canada's Gestapo.

Invading Canada would be as easy as invading Iraq because of all the stupid unarmed Canadians.

AS easy as invading Iraq?
Tell that to the Soldiers that died.
and the friends and familys that lost them.
Then tell the amputees and other severly wounded.

And then tell America how we get out of Iraq.

Now tell me how all the gun owning patriots kept us so safe we still had to invade Iraq to protect our security here at home .

'Invading' a country that had only a third world military (by a country that has the world's most powerful military) was like taking candy from a baby.

Those tragedies occurred during the 'illegal' occupation (not the 'invasion).

You tell Obama, the commander-in-chief, to order all troops home. How hard could that be ?

We never had to invade Iraq to keep us so safe. To end Terror against Americans all we need to do is vacate the Middle East. Bad U.S. govt foreign policy (meddling) is the cause of Terrorism.

The people responsible for 9/11 died on 9/11. The co-conspirators are still in Afghanistan (not Iraq). All of them are or were Saudis, none of them were Iraqis.

An armed America deters or resists slavery, genocide, other forms of tyranny and oppression, and personal tragedy.

Remember, we separated ourselves from a tyrannical govt (the British) that had militarily invaded and occupied our country, established excessive taxation and oppressive rule, and attempted to disarm us, by an illegal armed revolt (against the rule of law) led by George Washington (our first president.)

Typically it is but I have seen .380ACP higher at some places simply because of supply and demand..380 ACP is a popular "summer carry" cartridge. The 44 mag is more expensive to produce, but the mark up due to the demand of the .380 is why it is more expensive right now.

Go ahead and make the fact that I am in Canada give you a reason to use my comments to bash Canadians but guess what? I'm American. So what is your response now? Did you ever think Americans may work and live in Canada? Or visit family in Canada?

I live in Texas and own a Glock with two boxes of bullets (one box for target practice and another for defense of my home)and when Obama was elected I wasn't so stupid as to run out and buy more guns and bullets because some chain email told me that Obama was "gonna take my gun and bullets."

People really, inform yourselves. Do you have any idea that every bill BEFORE it becomes law is posted on the federal government website? Did you know that the same is true for state laws, which are posted on the state legislature website? Stop listening to the bias of the liberal media AND the right wing media, BOTH are slanted to their own benefit. And for God's sake, stop listening to that chain email, which I did actually get from a co-worker stating that Obama was passing a "secret law" there's no such thing. Instead use common sense and research the actual government websites when people start spouting off their own summary of a new proposed law. This is why foreign countries think Americans are stupid.

Try searching for "gun" or "ammunition" on the Library of Congress website: http://www.thomas.gov/
or your state website by typing your state into Google and then looking for the legislature or government link.

I will consider that the poster 'Tory II' pretty much addressed your reply.

Now I have a question regarding your last remark above: What's your 'deal' with that statement about 'gun owning patriots'?
.
What were ~we~ supposed to be doing?
.
Iraq never attacked our shores, borders, territories, shipping or the People.
.
Neither did it make a declaration of war.
.
According to yourself, precisely WHAT were we supposed to do to another nation which had NOT attacked us?
.
It's naval capacity was essentially one of local protection of assets and shipping, so it could =NEVER= have been any kind of threat on the oceans.
.
Its air force was entirely local.
.
Now what?

Obama and the Attempt to Destroy the Second Amendment

Talk about a smoking gun...

October 6, 2008 - by David T. Hardy (Attorney and Constitutional Scholar)

As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama must demonstrate executive experience, but he remains strangely silent about his eight years (1994-2002) as a director of the Joyce Foundation, a billion dollar tax-exempt organization. He has one obvious reason: during his time as director, Joyce Foundation spent millions creating and supporting anti-gun organizations.

There is another, less known, reason.

During Obama’s tenure, the Joyce Foundation board planned and implemented a program targeting the Supreme Court. The work began five years into Obama’s directorship, when the Foundation had experience in turning its millions into anti-gun “grassroots” organizations, but none at converting cash into legal scholarship.

The plan’s objective was bold: the judicial obliteration of the Second Amendment....

Highlander,

Did you take the time to read the legislation? do you see what it applies to? I did my search and came across that as well but it does not apply to me as a firearm owner. You keep your guns and sit on your porch armed and continue to perpetrate your ignorance. The only link you posted that has any credibility are the ones from Obama's website and the one from thomas.gov , but again, it is not applicable... try reading it, retard.

Daily Horoscope for December 17

Capricorn

You're in the mood to spend some money today. That's fine if you've got it, because you'll have a wonderful time strolling around the shops. But it isn't such good news if you're supposed to be sticking to a strict budget because that will be well nigh impossible once you've seen something that catches your eye. It will keep saying 'Buy me, buy me!'
