    They, the politicians do not care about the future of all Americans, they do not care if we have jobs, they do not care about fiscal responsibilities they do however care about amassing personal wealth and power. Remember this, an armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a peasant.

    OH, I think it's pretty clear that you understand a lot more than Obama does!

    After dressing it up with all sorts of assumptions about public support, Obama immediately turned to spewing the same Clinton-era bait-and-switch. Ban standard-capacity magazines by incorrectly calling them "high-capacity" magazines. Ban non-military semi-auto rifles by incorrectly calling them "assault rifles" and "military-style". No doubt there will be Kalifornia-esque restrictions on appearance, ergonomics and non-operational features like "pistol grips" and bayonet lugs, etc., in an attempt to ban, restrict or force modification on as many guns as they possibly can. The ribbon they're using to tie this Christmas present up with is "gun violence", as opposed to "criminal violence", because the subtext is still that it's the guns' fault, not the psycho-criminal.

    THIS TIME, however, we have the Heller decision from SCOTUS providing a strong argument to bring before the court that is possibly even good enough to strike down portions of the too-long standing NFA/GCA (Title I & II), if somebody can actually craft a case arguing for an M-16 to to provide the minimum standard of effectiveness to the militia in a modern world, and get it heard before the high court.

    The liberals keep blathering about the NRA, but in reality, other groups like the SAF/CCRKBA and GOA have been instrumental with men like Alan Gura to win decisions like Heller and McDonald.

    Also, consider the real numbers:

    The Brady Campaign to Protect Murderers and Rapists has 28,000 "members" on their mailing list.
    Gun Owners of America has 300,000+
    Second Amendment Foundation has 650,000+
    NRA has 4,300,000+ members.
    There are upwards of 270,000,000 (2007 numbers) privately-owned guns in the U.S.
    Approximately 45,000,000 common semi-auto rifles would be directly targeted by the proposed ban.

    What is truly crazy is that these acts of violence are done by criminally insane people, yet nobody is talking about mental health. It is like blaming the car for the actions of the drunken driver.

    We had a shipment of Pmags come in yesterday, they are now gone. As a matter of fact we are spreading the merchandise out trying to make the shelves and racks appear to be fuller, it is not working.

    Been on the phone off and on all day looking for a decent qty of 7.62X51 BALL. It's out there, but prices have DOUBLED in the last week! Stopped by one of the smaller gun shops here in town, ( one that doesn't have a pissy attitude ) and they sold all their AR/AK stuff yesterday. Couldn't let 4 of them out the door because the FBI's lines were tied up and hold times were over an hour!

    He mentioned stripped lowers at $550 in Greenville. Bolt carriers for $1K!!

    THe perfect storm is brewing pertaining to gun sales with all the BS about THE END OF THE WORLD and the BS spewing from the lefttard media and DC about gun control.

    I told one snotty SOB at ELK CASTLE ARMS that they better enjoy what's happening now, because when this blows over, they'll be begging all the folks they've pissed off to come back to give 'em another chance. Same with CHEAPER THAN DIRTBAGS.

    Cheaper than Dirt is now anything but. They were selling Pmags for 59.67 yesterday when we were selling ours for 25$. Profiteering at it's finest. Their website was down for sometime and when it came back up so did their prices.
