It’s best to pay cash anyways.
Why do the Dems not want Americans with guns?????? New World Order!!!!!They want to control all the people..... SCREW EM!!!!
The corollary to my tag line, of course, is you can’t have too much ammunition.
the libs just don’t get it....pathetic!
So they can't just go to store and pay cash? I can get a lot more ammo than Holmes did without raising any red flags, while purchasing everything local.
Yet another anti-gun bill that does nothing except punish the law-abiding.
Funny that this reporter only mentions Dingy Harry and the Senate prospects for passage of these gun/ammo grabbing bills, but doesn't mention the prospects for passage in the GOP controlled House!!!
Maybe the reporter forgot to mention that the House must also approve these bills for them to become law. Or more likely, didn't want to ruin this puff piece article for gun grabbers by pointing out that these bills are DOA in the GOP controlled House.
I would be suprised if Mccarthy's ammo-banning bill even makes it to a House committee hearing before this Congress ends it's term in January, 2013 or if Boehner just tables the bill himself using his authority as Speaker to do this and no action is taken on it at all. Either way, this bill is DOA in the House - the House GOP leadership is not so stupid as to allow this bill to see the light of day, in my opinion.
Whew! Good thing he only had 6,000. Just think how much trouble he could have caused if he had 6,000,000!
/s
first off, 6,000 rounds of .223 weighs in at just shy of 200 pounds (give or take). No one can carry that sort of load if they are on a mission of any sort. I'm interested in hearing how banning bulk sales would have somehow prevented this (CO) incident or even diminished it in some way.
Secondly, I think it's worth pointing out that 100 round drum magazines in the hands of thugs or nuts is an advantage for the LEO. Finding one that functions properly (as shown in the CO case) is next to impossible.
Yeah, every ammo-selling website has that special shopping section for "anonymous criminals wishing to stockpile ammunition."
Customers with valid credit cards and shipping addresses not welcome...
FAIL
Lautenberg is an old, braindead liberal who should have retired when he still had a functioning brain cell.
Maloney, whose husband was killed by a black racist, is an anti-gun fanatic who has lost most touch with reality.
They should be ignored. Not worth the trouble to deal with.
Any minute now, they will notice that anyone can purchase reloading equipment, lead, copper plate, priming caps and gunpowder, and produce ammunition anonymously and easily. Next they will want to “regulate” reloading equipment, lead, copper plate, priming caps and gunpowder. Then they will notice that anyone with a few household items can make their own gunpowder and mercury fulminate, that there are reloading presses and dyes all over the place, that it’s possible to manufacture more at home, etc. Always, the magic formula for stopping rampaging shooters is one more law away.
what next ATF going to be selling guns and ammo in the US at a high profit?
It will fail....
Ordering ammunition online is exponentially less anonymous than walking into a store and purchasing it. If I go into WalMart and purchase several hundred rounds of ammo with cash, you might have a grainy surveillance video of me if you somehow were led to the idea I had purchased ammo at WalMart in the first place. This type of purchase would be anonymous.
When I purchase ammunition online, however, I use a credit card and input a shipping address, all information that can already be followed up on by investigators without any additional legislation. Indeed, reports of the Colorado shooter indicate investigators used just such information to determine how much ammo Holmes purchased, and from where. It was the very type of internet purchase they are trying to stifle that allowed investigators to quickly determine the origin of Holmes' ammunition.
Why the legislation, then? Because once they've passed a law that deals with sensationalism ("anonymous" stockpiling of internet purchased ammunition), the donut is in place. The lawmakers then point to the hole left by the donut law - "oh no, now people are gong into local stores and buying ammunition anonymously!" - and they then attempt to close it by further legislating local ammunition purchases, i.e. copying one's driver license for ammo purchases at Wal Mart. They realize that they must move in these tiny steps to deceive the public.
These guys aren't stupid, and they know damned well that regulating internet purchases of ammunition is pointless in itself. It is the leftover hole that they are aiming for, the ability to come back later, once the wedge legislation is in place, to implement further regulation.
The sad thing here is that no one on our side is ever ready to propose legislation to move the ball forward when one of these tragedies occurs. It’s always a defensive posture.
Try this instead: because the Aurora shooting, more people need to carry. Thus, we’re proposing legislation to institute a $100 tax credit for pistol purchases. Or for CHP issuance.
these bills have no traction...
....but you might see some traction once the election is over....and more after the new year...depending on how the election goes.
