Ammo Registration Bill
 
Here is comes folks. Dems can't get the guns, they are going after the ammo.

Would they know if we were reloading shotgun shells? I'm just sayin' ...

Aliantha 03-01-2009 06:43 PM

You still have to buy the powder and the shot though.

Flint 03-01-2009 06:45 PM

Hmmm... well if rednecks can cook nine kinds of speed I'm sure they could make gunpowder.

Aliantha 03-01-2009 06:48 PM

Yeah...that's true. In fact one of my cousins used to make gunpowder out of charcole and baking powder and something else. Can't remember what now.

You'd still need to get the shot though.

What exactly are the technical specifications for bits of metal scrap designed to blow holes through soft flesh?

Aliantha 03-01-2009 06:59 PM

I dunno. Round balls. I suppose you could just use little bearings.

I guess when it all comes down to it, there's ways around the system if you're keen, and some people will be.

I think most will probably just register their ammo though.

Sulphur? That's what Spock and Kirk used in one episode.

Glad I have case upon case of 7.62.
Fuck w/ a Marine.

Look at the market. There is no 7.62x39 on the market. Everyone bought it up. The little that can be found is over priced.

After the ammo, they will try to start closing the loopholes for those that make their own ammo or refill shells. This seems like just the beginning. They'll start making the shot and the powder less available or try taxing the heck out of it as well to steer people into buying the coded ammo.

Are more innocent people or more felons killed by guns wielded by civilians?
(not a leading/loaded question, just curiosity if figures are known....)

The NRA estimates that a gun is used two million times annually to prevent some type of crime. Many of these incidents are not reported so the statistics tend to be skewed downward. I can find no meaningful numbers for innocent people injured by guns that aren't cooked obviously. I'll keep looking though.

I think you would be hard pressed to find unbiased reports. How often they are used to thwart crime would be hard to quantify as well. I suspect more felons kill each other with guns then civilians do and that is not a bad thing.

If I were the Gov, I wouldn't have given everybody a 2 year warning. The criminals will be well stocked by then, and I will be also.
I wonder how they propose to stop the 'other' countries from manufacturing/selling unregistered ammo?
Like turning water into wine.
