Here We Go

The opening salvo has been shot.

The mayor is wrong however. This is about the right to keep and bear arms, and nothing else.

Cold dead hands and all.

Guns and Ammo Selling Out Across the Country

November 6th, 2008

Obama’s election, and his promise to reinstate the assault weapons ban have people panicking a bit. According to this article, stores and distributors are starting to get low on their stock of semi-auto sport guns, magazines, and ammo. Any weapon that is semi-auto and has a capacity greater than 10 rounds is very popular right now, and is a potential victim to be banned.

Gun bloggers are not exempt from the buying frenzy by any means. Uncle let’s us know about Jay G’s potential black rifle purchase. There are dozens of posts on blogs and forums asking, “What should I buy before Obambi takes away our rights?!”. All these people are correct to buy what they want now. There is no telling when the ban will be reinstated, what it will contain, and there likely will not be a sunset provision this time.

The arguments against such a ban are for another post, or series of posts, but it is sufficient to sum the topic up with, “They don’t work.” This is a proven fact. I have been contemplating this for several months now. About a month or so ago an order was placed for twenty AR magazines. Today, I ordered half a case of ammo from Natchez.

We have discussed this in the past, and the wife agrees that we will need to make some more purchases before the end of the year. An AK variant of some type is on the list, along with mags and ammo for it.

The five hundred rounds of 5.56 that will be arriving are enough. Components to load several thousand more rounds will be purchased after the new year.

Hopefully we are all wrong about this, but it is better to prepare now, than to wish you had later.
