“Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill,” buzzfeed.com reports. “On a conference call with ‘stakeholders,’ Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.” The White House is already walking back Biden’s promises. But here’s part of the transcript . . .
Look, I know you’re going to say that I’m just being an optimist and I’m trying to put a good face on this. But, you know, I’ve been around here a long time and we’ve already done, because of you, some really good things. Number one, the president is already lining up some additional executive actions he’s going to be taking later this week.
Already we have put out notifications to all communities that if they want school resource officers to use their portion of the COPS grant to be able to deal with a school resource officer or someone in the school who’s a counselor, or whatever they need.
Secondly, we also have pushed forward grants for new and available funding for dealing with training teachers and dealing with alerting them to high-risk, you know, kids in their communities and their school that are signs that they’re going to have a real problem and may be the very kids you need to get to now before they end up like an Adam Lanza. We also are going to have a national mental health dialogue where we’re going to vastly expand mental health availability under the Mental Health Parity act as well as the Affordable Care Act.
OK that’s the bit that the White House says refers to existing Executive Orders, signed between Newtown and yesterday’s Senate debate about background checks. And then there’s this . . .
We also are reviewing the list of prohibited purchasers to maybe expand that list of prohibited purchasers. Granted, only 60% of people who go for a purchase are doing it [background checks].
I wonder what that means. Or if it’s just “Double Barrel” Joe shooting his mouth off. Again.
Let the bells of tyranny ring!
Anything that normalizes firearms counteracts the constant vilification from the grabbers.
My generation grew up on Combat, Wanted Dead Or Alive, Have Gun Will Travel, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett… I could go on and on. And cops when I was a kid would NEVER react with the absolute terror I’ve witnessed in so many of these YouTubed confrontations between gun owners and the police. Guns were a fact of life, not an aberration.
We had huge flocks of starlings when I was a boy. Every evening they would began to roost in a huge maple on our property. My dad or I (I took over starling patrol at the ripe old age of twelve, after receiving a 12 gauge side-by-side from granddad for my birthday.) would walk outside and give them a couple of Number 8s. They would fly to another roosting tree a couple blocks away. Soon we would hear a couple BOOM, BOOMs from down the block. The BOOMs would travel across town till, after 15 – 20 minutes it would be our turn again as they circled back around.
Now this was a small country town in Central Illinois, not the wilds of Montana. Population of about 1,500. And this was pretty much a nightly thing throughout the summer. Can you imagine the response to such an event today? 42 swat teams and DHS. Probably the National Guard. Especially if involving a 12 year old! (Save the Children!) And I was nothing special. I maybe moved up in power in my firearms a little quicker than some, had some good training very early, but not unique at all. I can picture the headlines on MSNBC, “Small Midwestern Town Held Hostage To Violence!!!” But the thing is, it was NORMAL behavior.
Oh, by the way. No one was ever injured in this nightly orgy of “gun violence”.
I am emphatically not a fan of most first person shooters, I think they desensitize people to violence. My dad made the same argument against Gunsmoke. But the violence was climatic, not constant, there wasn’t the gore, and there was always a moral lesson attempted. But the video games also normalize guns. As do the various shows featuring firearms.
Maybe a net gain overall.
Kiss anything foreign goodbye BHO will kill imports
How? Only the Senate can put laws on trade?
Previous law allow the exec to interpret what imports meet a sporting definition. Bush-I banned a bunch of imports as non-sporting in 89 under this.
Prepare to duck and cover (like the DHS tells citizens to respond to an active shooter threat in your area)
Like they taught us on the ship, brace for impact and ass ‘towards the blast.
He really hates this country doesn’t he?
He hates that he doesn’t have tyrannical unlimited power to rule it.
…f*kin communist – you had your vote, and now you’re just gonna shove it through.
Apparently the reaction was swift and harsh as “Buzzfeed” has an update claiming that ‘Uhh, did I say new? I meant implementing the last EOs. Yeah, that’s the ticket’
I see Hitler really wants people to bow down and kiss his @ss, oh wait that’s Obama, eh same thing.
So Obama want’s to be kicked from office. There must be an easier way for him to retire.
“On another level, I found the LC380 is wonderful for training new shooters. During the weekly CWP courses I teach, it was a great gun to help people gain confidence in their shooting without thinking they were being babied by shooting a .22lr while keeping them from being overwhelmed by larger calibers. ”
How loud is it compared with a .22 and a 9mm?
Funny, I’ve found the quickest way to scare off the lady gun neophytes is with a small .380, as it hurts the hands too much. They seem to like a full size or Commander size 1911, being much easier on the hands and therefore funner to shoot.
Not bad at all. Definitely louder than a .22 but quieter than most 9mm
Honestly not sure about the effect FPS games have had on the mindset of the country. But I think we do need to give a show like Top Shot credit. We’ve all had issues with the show but the bottom line is that Top Shot showcased firearms in the way that most of use actively use them: Having a good (and safe) time using marvelously engineered tools.
I would imagine that there are TTAG followers here that are democrats….
Aren’t you guys so happy that you not only elected him the first time….
But also the second?
What’s that saying about a sucker born every minute…
At least the voted. How many gun owners are not even registered to vote or get involved?
“At least they voted.”
So that’s like scolding a drunk driver for killing someone, but you saying “at least he drives.”

I’ve got a friend that voted democrat, he’s actually come out and said that he knows he screwed up. He’s decided to change parties after this last election because he just couldn’t stand them anymore.
Here is his new expansion of prohibited persons.
Persons who are:
1) White
2) African American
3) Hispanic
4) Asian
5) any ethnicity that can be filled in on form 4473
This also includes those who
1) are Republicans
2) are independents
3) are Democrats
4) excludes those that are do not and will never own a firearm and are for civilian disarmament.
(sarcasm off)
No, but you are probably on the right track. That 4473 form is going to get much longer. Criminals are going to be pissed they have to fill out a second page.
“But, you know, I’ve been around here a long time ”
This is the underlying problem.
Impeachment anyone?
Could he be impeached for enacting laws that were shot down through the propper channels?
If he goes one inch outside existing statute? That would be rulling by decree. By definition that is insurrection and therefore treason. We don’t just impeach traitors.
Anything unconstitutional is null and void , Anything representing tyranny will be met with a constitutional reply
I would have thought Obama starting a war without Congressional approval represented Tyranny but very few said anything. If we ever screw-up the courage for a Constitutional reply, it will be so late that the vacuum will be filled by China and Venezuela rushing in to claim the land.
Let them. The leftists that voted in Obama will finally get the supposed utopia they so desired and will learn the truth the hard way.

Looks like the original story has been updated:
“Update: A White House official told BuzzFeed the executive actions Biden was referring to on the call are part of Obama’s original list of 23 executive actions on guns announced in January.”
So he didn’t say: “We also are reviewing the list of prohibited purchasers to maybe expand that list of prohibited purchasers. Granted, only 60% of people who go for a purchase are doing it.” then?
The article appears to attribute that statement to Joe “Blast them thru the Front Door” Biden; so take that as you will.
Yeah…we’ll see. Don’t believe it, personally.
They must really be chapped. Despite the warning signs for the last couple of weeks that they did not have enough votes, they can’t help but act as though this was a last-minute surprise and sneak attack by those dastardly gun owners and the evil NRA.
Ooh, I just thought of the National Geographic Channel’s series titled Doomsday Preppers. I have to think that is getting people into firearms as well.
E.O.’s only apply to the Federal Agencies of the Executive Branch..if they are contrary to law, they are subject to being overturned by the courts…and certainly one would have a good argument for injunctive relief against their application. Additionally, once a new president takes office, it is common practice to cancel multiple E.O.s of their predecessor.
Those courts did not overturn Obamacare or the SAFE Act.
Its been said before through this post but KEEP WRITING not only “your” but ALL the Senators. I’m going to start writing the HR also and pushing that if anything goes through there . . . .
I’m also a bit pissed about Sen. Wickers statement that he voted to stop the filibuster and allow S649 to come to the floor AT THE REQUEST OF THE NRA. Think they need a flood of member and non-member letters.
Oh and THANK YOU Sen Cornyn (Tx) for your speech setting the record straight.
What the heck ever happened to Top Shot?
Video games got me into black rifles. I was brought up on pump actions and bolt actions and then i picked up Call of Duty 4 in 2007, and the second i realized i could have my very own M4 with an ACOG, i was in, and i know plenty more people that had it not been for video games, they’d have no interest in firearms at all. Embrace the Mall ninjas and zombie hunters! They’re your friends, they’re young, energetic and more importantly not FUDD’s. You know how easily you can horrify a liberal when the young people that voted for them are telling them to fuck off trying to take away their “Call of Duty guns”? You don’t have to like their taste in regards to 16 lbs of accessories on their AR’s, but keep in mind THEY WANT AR’s!
My God! It just dawned on me. They really, really, really believe the “40% of guns don’t go through NICS” thing. I mean, it’s not just a lie to convince the masses, they really mean it.
Yes, this is a strong selling point for them. The worst thing to do now is let our guard down. The grabbers have been set back but they’ll try again.
The main thing to do is work on the misconception that 40% of sales are “off the books” (the gun show loophole) and the idea that a background check is harmless with 90% supposedly in favor.
I don’t think it would be anywhere near those numbers if people realized how intrusive and dangerous these checks can be and how many gun laws there already are.
It really doesn’t matter what they believe, it matters what they can convince the sheeple to believe.
I hope in his misinformed, childish tantrum, he unleashes the most staggeringly ludicrous EO’s that ensure his impeachment. His handlers might stop him before he does, but still.
In any case, as ever, we see in Obama the true nature of a tyrant. As I said in the post where we won the day yesterday, tyrants do not accept the rule of law and he will act unilaterally to crush the rights of his would-be subjects.
Yesterday wasn’t the end of a fight…it was Americans drawing a line in the sand. You really think a narcissistic self-fancied emperor isn’t going to step across? Keep your powder dry.
At what point do the idiots on the left realize that this man is only hurting their agendas by his bullheaded approaches to circumnavigate not only the current laws we have in place but the Constitution as well? I know I know it’s a rhetorical question.
If they were intelligent or reasonable enough to see, they wouldn’t be leftists in the first place.
Well, you’ve got one right here. Video games, particularly Call of Duty and Rainbow Six: Vegas, got me interested in shooting recreationally, which forced me to become familiar with gun laws and exposed me to “gun culture,” which made it suddenly very easy to see through all the media spin, ignorance and B.S. behind attacks on gun rights.
I’ve taken my gamer friends shooting, and at least two of them own firearms now; one got a carry permit. I’ve personally read every post here at TTAG since Newtown to keep a close watch on legislation and to learn the occasional cool new thing from reviews and other “fun” articles. I’ve been contacting my legislators and teaching friends & coworkers to see past rhetoric and evaluate gun law proposals based on what they actually might accomplish as we’ll as what they’ll cost. I think it helps that I don’t at all fit the stereotypes of a gun owner (I still smile to think of one friend calling me a “strange hippie”); none of the usual labels fit, and I’m patient & calm when I discuss guns, gun laws & freedom, so it’s got to be more challenging to dismiss what I have to say outright.
So, yes, video games were the stepping stone for me to become familiar with guns, to be a responsible gun owner and to respect and defend that freedom for myself and others. Obama can blame politics and interest groups all he likes, but he’s delusional to think that the NRA brainwashed me into fearfully badgering my senators into fearing for their reelection. No, I simply invested hundreds of hours of my own time to inform myself and to weigh gun law proposals both what they would cost in terms of freedoms vs. what we might gain in terms of safety, and I independently came to the conclusion that none of the gun control proposals was a worthwhile tradeoff. And then I contacted my Senators & Representatives to politely and succinctly tell them why. I got more involved in politics for this one issue than I ever have for any other, and right now I feel like I may have made some small difference. Score one for freedom, in any case.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t he use an EO to restrict the importation of firearms & ammo? If this is the case, I’m frankly surprised he hasn’t already done so.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have been to the range and heard “That’s in Call of Duty! That’s awesome!” and “Wasn’t that in [insert movie here]?”.
I think there is some truth to this article.
The people up above are right. The Constitution strictly forbids the Executive Branch, the President from creating NEW laws. He must only amend or clarify existing laws. He cannot change existing Constitutional laws as it exists, ie, destroy or go around an amendment to the constitution. If he does any of the above, its grounds for impeachment.
i certainly got into guns playing counterstrike in college, and of course watching some zombie movies and walking dead.
but that’s fairly surface level. to be fighting for 2A takes a much more dedicated and responsible person.
I suspect he will try to “.08” this thing onto the states. Change your state laws to make it what we want OR you lose your funding. Boom! Gun control.
Every time he opens his mouth and another lie comes out he is diminishing his credibility. He is cutting his own throat, and political strength. People ARE waking up and seeing a lying, cheating, capable of doing anything illegal to get what he wants. ….and the important thing is, people ARE tired of WHAT HE wants! What HE wants! The power is still with us people, we need o exercise that power that frightens him to no end and GET rid of him! American Spring, force him to resign or force impeachment processes to take our country back1
I have seen this before…..
Mala tempora currunt.
The amount of support for this woman on this thread is simply heartwarming.
Those who deride her with such blatantly flamboyant language have little in common with the man they say they worship and admire. OY! Transphobe! I know a 6’8″ 275 pound man with a high voice that looks great in heels, and he would love to verbally tear your moronic corpse a few new orifices. I’m a big guy, in fair shape, and this friend could pull my arms out of their sockets, you would love him. He’s also the least violent man I’ve ever met. He won’t hurt you. I can’t say the same for myself, but I doubt you have the chutzpah to fight a man fairly, anyway. Hide behind your keyboard, coward.
My patience has been expended, what incredible hypocrisy and stupidity, I am glad it is limited to less than a handful of us.
To everyone else, truly, reading your comments has made me happy, and quelled the vitriol a tiny minority ignited in my mind. You prove that political affiliation or location or religion or sexual preference do not affect the human ability to respect and love those who are different, and those with whom you may disagree.
Patriot Act…you reap what you sow.
sore looser
I live in South Texas where the violence has spilled over and there has been lot of house break ins and like hell i will turn my guns! What this i hear of the Prisdent and one of his aids selling guns to the cartels in Mexico. If the goverment want do disarm uu there going to have to pull them off my cold dead hands!
“On a conference call with ‘stakeholders’… “
Huh, that’s funny, nobody asked me to be on the conference call. Since it’s my second amendment rights at stake, you’d think they’d consider me a stakeholder. Maybe I just didn’t have a good cell signal when they tried to call. That must be it.
If he tries an end run around of the 2nd Amendment (and probably the
1st, 4th etc…), I won’t worry. I’ll sit back and watch while all elected
officials band together to institute impeachment proceedings.
Because… you know…that will happen.
What else is disturbing is that potus also snubbed the British for the Thatcher funeral, a first for any White House occupier! You don’t just turn your back on our loyal Allies like that! poor behavior again, makes the USA look small. What a putz!
The war continues…we’ve just won the majority of the battles so far…
Every single one of you are completely off your rocker. All you do is spout off ignorance and complete and utter lack of realism. “Riot!”, “Revolution!”, “Impeachment!” Small-minded individuals who have no clue. You’re fast to mouth off and slow to act. God help your children, and I pray they’re not the next one stuffed in a closet by a teacher waiting for a gunman to find them in their school. What part of NINETY PERCENT of the voting public want tougher gun laws do you not understand??? Seriously? What part? If an EO is passed he is simply doing the will of the PEOPLE. It’ll pass by vote or EO at some point here very soon regardless of your lack of knowledge, fear or resentment towards this President. Sorry. If you don’t like it go back to your hills and hoard more armament. As long as you’re a law abiding citizen you’ll have no problem in purchasing them.
You got stones for bringing that in here, but I’d strongly recommend you do a little fact checking first. 90% of Americans supposedly support background checks right? Well, good news America! We have those. Even the evil guns shows run more background checks than not.
And the WILL of people? That’s kinda like mob rule. The institution that is this country was designed as such to prevent the “will of the people” from, you know, over-riding the will of the rest of the people.
Tread lightly, and you might learn something in here.
Larry, If you were really secure in yourself you wouldn’t be here. Perhaps you don’t buy the gotta die for the criminal anymore? In any event, welcome, look & listen, Randy
Larry, is that you? Hey, I just want to tell you that I love your new dress.
In a word…Yes, but…
I think the majority of the backbone of gun culture come from three groups: the Hunter/Fudd types, the Military/LE types, and the sport/competetion shooters. These groups make the largest contribution to the general gun population…as they tend to pass along thier trade/craft/hobby from generation to generation.
Things like the zombie craze, video games, movies, gun blogs and vloggers…all contribute to the addition of new blood to the culture. If it were an influence graph, this would be the middle where the people of the gun and people from mainstream society meet. Some join up with us, some don’t. But yes, all these influence the growth of our culture.
Hell, I’ll take any help we can get!
Larry, so sad to see how misinformed you are. Firstly as with most liberals you start off with uninformed rants and insults. That 90% does not represent the countries population, only of the people polled, and who were they over 80% of those were liberal Democrats like yourself, so the poll is flawed from the beginning. Next these buffoons were elected to protect the Constitution not piss on it, this Bill (and they all knew) would do nothing to prevent any shootings anywhere some of them even admitted that. It was a corner stone for full blown gun confiscation. This president is not doing the will of the people-how can you and people like you still be so blind, look at his luxury vacations, which by the way, you are paying for (well if you work you are), the real unemployment numbers are closer to average 15% nation wide and when Obama care completely kicks in more will be laid off. You need to read a basic economics book and you can see how it is supposed to work, now he wants banks to make the same kinds of bad loans that they started to make when Clinton (yes Clinton) 1st gave foreign banks permission to start doing mortgage loans here, and Bush made the mistake of actually listening to Barney Franks tell him that there was no problem in the housing market. You guys always scream about lies but you never even bother to check anything out. Why has you boy Obama used at least three names since he was a kid, how did he go from a 1 million dollar net work to over 10 in his first 2 years, why did he never actually practice law-just teach Constitutional law (that’s how he knows about trying to cheat it) if he was white he would never even been allowed to run- I know you will now say I’m a racist well I’m as much of one as him and his wife are! Learn some facts-at least all the stuff i just told you can be verified — how about your tripe?
It’s all about a Game of Thrones, I mean, Game of Politics. Whenever a party doesn’t get its way (Dem or Repub), it has to find a way to “save face”… especially given the victory the gun rights community scored against gun control supporters. The President spent so much political capitol on this fight that Democrats are concerned (rightly so) that they will appear weak in future negotiations over the budget, immigration reform, etc. So while “new executive orders” sounds pretty fancy, they will NOT carry the force of brand-new laws – they can only shape interpretations of existing ones.
That said, I can get behind executive orders mandating more funding for school safety or improving the mental health system. Let’s all hope they’re limited to just that.
So does that mean that the ammo and rifle shortage due to this political madness should subside soon?
I was on such a high after the Senate wins (and seeing a double rainbow out my window as the final votes came in (true story)) I decided last night to open my last box of .22 that I’ve been saving since December. I counted out a mere thirty rounds and put them in my range bag last night. Well this morning I stopped by the LGS and low-behold they had over 100 boxes of 9mm and a dozen of .22! I think the drought is about to break.
Added a newb to the range trip to celebrate my good fortune!
Honestly, I think Alan G made a good gamble with the M-T. There being a voice of reason willing to try an olive branch was more symbolic than actually effective but I look at it like this:
If he hadn’t hedged a bet behind Senators with an idea, the senate (Schumer in particular) wouldn’t have had any limit of asinine things to come to the floor. The M-T deal set a precedent that limited dumb ideas and by its own writing cancelled out many ridiculous amendments by the way it was written. It failed because it was cruelly gutted and it being gutted (or the simple 100% likelihood of it) was a rallying cry to the GOA who never trusted it and clearly painted who the enemy was for members of other organizations to see without appearing paranoid. Was Alan caught in the crossfire? Yes. Do I think it could have turned out better had he not taken one for the team? No.
Alan made a fool out of everyone who went with and raped his bill. Knowing it would die cruelly, it sent up enough red flags on both sides to basically be the tipping point for now and show what both sides are capable of united.
Political climate of judgemental foolishness was bound to kill gun rights bills at this point but gun control backfired largely cuz of the fallout from the AWB first and M-T as the lesser evil and still good idea. That’s what it looks like to me.
It makes Alan a loser but it did exactly what he needed to do. So, well played even in “defeat” is only half of it.
Come now, gentlefolk. As some have hinted, you don’t keep score during a war. Get inside the OODA loop and keep the opponents off balance. Why is there no version of the M-T bill ready with actual safeguards built in? Written by professional pro-2A attorneys and not in consultation with Brady and Bloomberg.
That way, we can say – you want the M-T bill, here it is. You claim no registries will be established – then you can’t complain about the ironclad civil penalties, criminal penalties with no statute of limitations, [and perhaps forfeiture of federal pensions] we included. You want more access to mental-health records. So do we. But as a sign you can be trusted, let’s define mental health precisely – so that, for example, veterans are not designated as incompetent simply because they can’t handle the confusion of veterans benefits any better, or worse, than the current Secretary of the Treasury could handle the tax code.
What, you don’t agree? What are you? Child-hating cannibals? We’re giving you everything you claim you wanted.
As in all combat, you only rest to catch your breath as necessary, and as minimally as possible.
I think gun owners should be on the list as winners. Without them, it would be a different world.
I think it’s fair to say TTAG deserves a pat on the back as well. 😉
There is a lot of enthusiasm at the moment for the Taurus Millennium G2, which fits into a similar weapon profile. It is a bit thicker in the grip (but contains 12 rounds), although this aids in shooting comfort and control. The slight increase in barrel length (3.2″ v 3.1″) does seem to result in better velocity (to other 9mms). For a moderate increase in size, there is a significant improvement in comfort, round count, trigger function, ease of disassembly, of course power, as well as a $100 cash savings. Bit of a no brainer to me.
Watch this space for an upcoming G2 review.
I could almost smell the disdain when they said “rural”… why wont we just allow ourselves to be herded into their agenda 21 mega cities already?!
Thank you for the compliments, Economist. Just like Obama’s childish tantrum, we know we’re doing the right thing when scum like you are angry at us.
Keep telling us how wrong we are. That’s how we know we’re right.
Everyone who has helped the cause should enjoy a cold frosty in celebration.
Let’s also remember how much effort it took to prevent anything from being passed. We will have to keep up the fight so we can start winning offensive political victories. Additionally, gunnies should take this political lull to get fence-sitters out shooting and buying guns. I’m going to take some time this weekend and take a new gun owner and a non owner out shooting then to a gun show to help the one out on selecting his first purchase. You can rest assured I will take the opportunity to remind them how vulnerable our birthright is. Take this opportunity to swell our ranks so next time this comes up we have even more allies.
Gonna be interesting to read the EOs Obamao will now put out on gun control.
Holy shit, I didn’t know he was a Colonel.
I thought it was the Gunnies fault for calling attension to those mamby pamby lowlife dirtbag gun grabbing weasels, Randy
At least it has some decent sights (which I loved to have on my LCP)!
However I prefer my LCP without safety and DAO only.

Thanks for the coverage, I’m really getting a better feel for what these events involve. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Part of Harry Reid’s rationale for supporting the AWB:
(Y)ou do not need an assault weapon to defend yourself or your property. Assault weapons have one purpose and one purpose only: to kill a large number of people really quick. This goes well beyond the purpose of self-defense.
If that’s true, why did the AWB and every other AWB ever have a law enforcement exemption? Is it now standard operating procedure for the police “to kill a large number of people really quick”? I guess it is for the LAPD, as demonstrated in the Dorner manhunt, but I guess they’re taking it national.
Ralph, this as on the local St. Louis, MO news tonight….another elitist, hunter who will never have to worry about background checks just announced he is canceling his lifetime NRA membership, because the NRA backs folks owning “assault rifles and high capacity magazines”.

I wonder if the NRA is delaying the FPS Russia managers murder investigation too? Say it aint so Wayne, Randy
*E-EFFING NOUGH* of this weasel! TAR. FEATHER. What ever HAPPENED TO THIS?
Roofing tar isn’t particularly common to-hand in most locales, and most pillows have synthetic stuffing now.
Please let your intractable ideology make this an existential thing, please, please, please, pretty please with sugar on top.
Taggants also decompose exothermically, causeing shelved powders to burn/explode if you leave them on the shelf too long.
WTF is next. We all know there are plenty of ways to make a bomb without gun powder. If this passes, even though I haven’t seen it yet, I am sure it will be a major pain in the ass and probably costly to those of us who reload and it will not in anyway stop a terrorist. It may change their choice of explosive.
Reloading components are hard enough to get right now. This will just make it worse. Fortunately I have about a year and a half worth of powder but that is not forever.
FOAD
Well, just like semi-auto rifles were rebranded as weapons of war by the Left, now reloading components and household chemicals will be rebranded as “explosives.” First they asked why we needed weapons of war, but they failed to take them away this round. But surely, SURELY, no one can possibly defend the sale of explosives, right? They’ll be telling us that ANYONE who wants to buy gun powder must be some sort of domestic terrorist.
the thing about turning this up a notch is that when people start looking at the kenyan real hard, his whole house of cards falls down. computer experts claim his credentials are bogus. he didn’t take executive privilege (illegally) on fast & furious for no reason. benghazi is still hanging around his neck. his bosses must really want the guns badly, especially from vet’s who can operate equipment, military arms/armor. sounds like there is a timetable here. face it, he can’t step out of that office, ever. his past will have him in prison in no time, along w/ all his cronies. its all or nothing now. he is very predictable when you understand his agenda. be ready. kypd

The Economist can suck it. If they don’t like our form of government that’s just fine we me. STFU
Oh, and the missing chromosome that keeps them from being French is called “retreat”. I kid.
I also have a degree, but I am fortunate to have grown up in the “sticks”. Everybody had guns and there was very little crime. Funny how that works.
Robert, that photo sucks. Get your mind back on the task at hand. Do you imagine the enemy doesn’t know how to derail you with images of cheapo womanflesh?
I have some arguments that work. E-mail me.
