And ammo. Do they still make .22 LR? Somebody needs to open a new factory.

The elites tried to use Newtown to spark a Kristallnacht against the Second Amendment. Didn’t work this time. Next time will be worse though.

Not only salesman...

He and his ignorant, over reaching coleagues in the state and local legislatures are providing all of the campaign material we need to clean house in 2014.

Gonna be in a gun show here in MA tomorrow. I’m not going to even bother. I have enough ammo for now easily and the lines will be ri-god-damn-diculous.

We have won the technical arguments hands down, but its neck and neck with the moral argument. Thank god we Travis McGee and his not being a typical conservative stick chaser.

Go and walk around, even play tourist. I’ve noticed people seemingly watching those entering gun shops as well as a show. Could be merely scoping the extent of the crowds, which are getting larger and larger.
Imagine the headlines if it is seen there is a fall-off of gun show attendance.
Last week I spotted a couple of guys in a car across the street from a gun shop I entered. Still there, sitting, as I left (empty handed of course). They were NOT happy when I waved at them.

Bring a camera next time and take their picture. That would shake them up.

The NRA is pushing the point, rightly I think, that mental health records are not available to those doing background checks for gun purchases. However, I see a grave danger in the mental health aspect of so-called background checks: Who shall decide what constitutes a mental aberration? Communist regimes take those who buck the official line of the government and send them to re-education camps; thus government could render dissenters ineligible to pass a background check on mental health grounds. Would someone, for instance, who opposes abortion, gay marriage, or forced income redistribution be declared “anti-social justice” and an enemy of the nation? Don't laugh. Think how far we've come in 5 years.

Agreed. Can we re-load .22’s? LOL! I found some on line the other night. 500 rd “brick”. $149.95! WTF!!! I went to the storage area and looked at the last “brick” I bought and the price tag was plainly printed $24.95. I could make some money here but then I’d have to pay the $149 to replace it. Found some .223 at $849.00/1000 rds. Just wondering? Will ammo prices do like gas prices did and settle in finally at about 2/3rds of what it is today? Man I hope not. Thanks king hussein, you asshat.

Worked at the stat level though. Look at NY, CT, MD, CO and probably DE and MA. RI and NJ are already write-offs, as is CA.

Basically a “gun free” NE United States (except for the extreme North (VT, NH and ME) as well as PA.

Good news on the national level however, at the state level, the federal courts need to step and fast. We are quickly becoming a nation where the 2nd amendment only applies in the “red states”. If you try to exercise you 2nd amendment rights in many blue states you are forced to jump through a maze of convoluted laws meant to discourage you, a modern day bunch of “Jim Crow” laws for guns.

fewer than 2 percent bought their firearm at a flea market or gun show,

That is because gun shows are expensive.

You can get them cheaper at the store.

Exactly. Google "slow schizophrenia." Here's a link to the Wiki page on that subject.

Any state where there is one party, Democrat rule is at risk!

These bastards have only hardened our resolve.

No quarter. No mercy. No remorse.
