Outrage after NY paper publishes names of gun permit holders

[/pine]

Nobody ever said anyone was going to control the government with pop gun weapons......except you.

And as for your 'load of crap' comment...if I called you out on all the crisp you post I'd never get finished.

Bulls-eye...nice shooting :thumbsup:

I bet it's higher than 50% ! If you look at an electoral map of the US that shows each voting district not just which state is red or blue it is ALL red except for the cities! The big cities are what make it's state blue, the countryside is all red, but their voice dosent count thanks to the electoral college. Only a small percentage of our 310 million or so actually get to the voting booth.

My customer base is telling me that they don't like the way our country is headed. I am talking about 90% of the people that call in to our business to talk about food plots, implements and farming needs are just about at the tipping point. Ken Sweet

There have been zero mass shootings after the ban. And a total of about thirty gun homicides per year in a country of over twenty million people. They are doing something right. Me thinks strict gun control is likely part of it. Same in the UK, New Zealand, Germany etc etc.

etc. doesn't include Switzerland...

I'm hoping the old adage holds true..."Give 'em enough rope, and they'll hang themselves."

It's just too bad they weren't there in November. We can shorten the misery by two years if they get fed up enough that the Senate can be taken back from the Democrats and obama's regime limited severely.

Start getting them lined up to vote in 2014.

We can only hope...but it is hard to get (lazy) Americans that get free food and cell phones etc. to vote for anyone that may endanger those subsidies...I think we realized this in Nov....

I'm sure these reports are no surprise to anyone here:

>>>>>>>>Gun buyers in Houston have bought up the entire inventory of AR guns. It is not just the guns. The ammunition is sold out. The magazines are sold out, and not just the magazines that hold 30 or more rounds. Even finding a 10-round magazine is elusive. And ammunition? The smaller boxes of ammunition in the 223-556 calibers may be found, but not the larger boxes. Try calling Top Gun, Academy, Carter Country and other stores and you will get more or less the same answer: “We are sold out entirely, we have no idea when we are getting new stock in, and we have no idea what the pricing will be.” Even the online sites that deal in guns and ammo are now low on inventory as sales have spiked.

Investors are noticing what it will mean for ammunition manufacturers in 2013:

Right now, ammo is severely constrained in all major retail stores and online. Local checks by the author at multiple Academy Sports and Outdoors, (which is owned by (KKR), Walmart (WMT), and Dicks Sporting Goods (DKS) have all meet with the same feedback — gun sales, especially of AR-type weapons and pistols, are highly elevated, with some places being sold out of AR-type weapons. Ammo is scarce for popular rounds such as 9mm, .40 cal, .223, and 7.62×39.

Online stores such as cheaperthandirt.com are also sold out on many popular rounds. We had to go all the way to the 9th product page to find 9mm in a 50 round box for sale! …

Clearly, ammo is in high demand right now, and from our point of view, it has never been harder to find.<<<<<

Apparently you missed the Viet Nam war...a bunch of NVA soldiers armed with (basically) obsolete firearms and a lot of dedication kicked our asses.
Considering a large percentage of the U.S. military (I'm guessing, but probably at least 50%) would desert...it's a doable thing to replace the government.
Now, the downside...I doubt democracy would survive, no matter which side won.

I do see...my opinion...that this country is too polarized to survive as one nation...and I do not see that getting better.

I guess you expect the Chinese and Russians to supply your rebels too eh? And you will move supplies 500 miles by bicycle along the Mitt Romney trail. I love it.

Your blithe estimate that 50% of the military would desert to overthrow the government sounds like a good start for a Hollywood action movie. It also suggests a lot of you guys never come out of your wingnut echo chamber. It appears that you are the treasonous ones hoping to destroy a democratically elected government. You going to replace it with a white guys only 'real' Americun Gummit of your own. You better do it soon as your numbers are dwindling.

More realistic would be a John Brown type insurrection lead by a few dozen extremists, quickly isolated and annihilated before the Ruskies could come to your aid. How'd Waco work out for you?

And for those of you who are so impressed by the political distinction between rural and urban areas, welcome to the 20th century. Where ya been for the past hundred years or so?

Happy New Year guys.

The "gimmie class" grew greatly under Obama over the last four years no doubt but from everything I have seen there were just too many voters who stayed home for various reasons and who should get motivated to vote in 2014.
