Is there nothing that Obama can't do?
In just 3 months Americans bought enough guns to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian army’s combined.
You also bought 1,529,635,000 rounds of ammunition in just the month of December 2008. Yeah that is right, that is Billion with a “B”. This number takes no accounting of reloading or reloaded ammunition.
Heh.

The long gun registry comes to mind, speaking of billions wasn't it 2 BILLION that got popped off on the taxpayers dime?
But why register when you aren't an owner, but rather the MANUFACTURER of your own rifle? I think I made my own 0.45 calibre when I was 17-18 years old in high school.

"A Gun Control Law Passed by the German Government One Day After Kristallnacht
1573
Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons
11 November 1938
With a basis in §31 of the Weapons Law of 18 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p.265), Article III of the Law on the Reunification of Austria with Germany of 13 March 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 237), and §9 of the Führer and Chancellor's decree on the administration of the Sudeten-German districts of 1 October 1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, p 1331) are the following ordered:
§1
Jews (§5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt I, p. 1333) are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.
§2
Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.
§3
The Minister of the Interior may make exceptions to the Prohibition in §1 for Jews who are foreign nationals. He can entrust other authorities with this power.
§4
Whoever willfully or negligently violates the provisions of §1 will be punished with imprisonment and a fine. In especially severe cases of deliberate violations, the punishment is imprisonment in a penitentiary for up to five years.
§5
For the implementation of this regulation, the Minister of the Interior waives the necessary legal and administrative provisions.
§6
This regulation is valid in the state of Austria and in the Sudeten-German districts.

Okay Rick, please explain to me how a national gun registry makes good people safer? Provide proof if you will.
Also, please explain to me why the federal government is involved in the registration of private property? Surely you’ll agree the feds have overstepped their constitutional jurisdiction in this regard.

In a civil war the military will be the entity that overthrows the government. The left may have some people in important positions at the top, but that authority will evaporate instantly if push comes to shove. The military is overwhelmingly conservative on all level and issues, most importantly the troops. If I am wrong; so what? China boasts an army of 1 million and it makes people crap themselves; well, I’m happy to say that America boasts 50million gun owners. I know where I’ll put my money.
The police are a different matter completely. A noble job it may be, but as a whole they are just another unionized bunch dependant on the public teat. The police have shown their cards, one must just look at their behavior recently at any number of protests in either country.
As a white male conservative, the police are the VERY LAST place I will ever look for protection. It is their mandate to make me a criminal.

I never thought I'd be a stockpilin' kind of guy, but in my last few trips to the "hunting" store, they've been sold out of 40s&w. So when they finally did get some stock, I bought a case (1000 rounds) as did apparently everyone else, as they are out of stock again.

Posted by: ScottInRMH at April 29, 2009 4:46 PMThere's a down side to this in that ammo prices have gone way up. Was at a gun show last weekend and .223 was double what I paid for it last year and I'm glad that I stocked up then.
best person to look after your security is yourself. Unfortunately, with the gun registry in place I'm sure one day soon they'll say in the name of national security, we need to confiscate all the guns.

Phantom, I don't know if that is a fair assessment of the situation..here the norm is the vast percentage of guns owned by the population are long guns of the hunting variety.The exceptions are the smaller amounts of semi-military firearms (vintage and other..) and the even smaller amount of legal full auto, which has to be numbered now under 5000.
In Afghanistan, the vast majority of the people with a firearm (to include the Taliban) have sub guns and semi and fully automatic rifles.It is a rare thing to see a hunting type rifle.The two most common bolt action rifles to be seen are the Lee-Enfield and the Mauser G and K98.They also have access to thousands of larger crew served weapons to include anti-aircraft, mortar and anti tank weapons.
Of course, if the citizens here had that type of weaponry, the govt would never cross them, that's for sure! The Taliban's success is due more to them being non uniformed and ruthless when it comes to enacting their 'ideas' on the citizenry.
They cannot defeat NATO through force of arms alone, and must rely on shock tactics.Their main methods of successful attack usually involve killing themselves in the process.If a uniformed army with a finite amount of troops undertook such a campaign, you could chart their defeat on a graph.
You can consider this a real Bullet poll on Obama's popularity. This is the kind of poll you can't fiddle with. Its based on goods bought, not talk.
Its like most Albertans gave the registration busybodies old guns, while hiding their real ones.
Notice Harper has not abolished this white elephant either.
Guess his expectation of Canadians is as much as the American Federalizes. Frankly they should be a terrified. They haven’t done anything the people want. With all they don't. The whole Planet is heading towards the abyss of lawlessness. There is a divide between the governed & those who dictate not following any moral code or the Constitution. Justice has been perverted for the Elite while normal folks are left with neo-Marxist inquisitions. Criminals are considered sick, not evil. Our politicians now live like potentates, while the average family struggles on less & less to feed the lusts of these vipers. Life has become so cheap even child killers get little time. Education is lower than in the 19 century if reading is any indication of decay . More Males drop out every year. Mothers killing babies is now normal. All the while a foreign cabal is trying to take over to replace our entire history of liberty to an alien Law of barbarism, while these same politicians persecute the Watchers & not the perpetrators. Canada is not for Canadians anymore. Our Leaders have made us a tromping grounds for every foul human practice on Earth, & support them by punishing any dissent to this chaos by star chambers or Innuendo. Mean while the Great Minds in Academia think happy thoughts of multiculturalism & stopping free speech. While of course being Anti-Zionist (In other words its all the joo's fault)

I explained to her that a gun resting in the closet is like a car parked in a parking lot. Both consist of metal and both hold no danger when not being used. The only difference is that the car causes more deaths per year and the gun takes the wrap.

Funny thing is, I’m not sure I’ve got it right. Perhaps I'm the leftard.
It reminds me of a conversation I had with my wife last week about "Tea Bagging". I told her that I'd rather be the "tea bagger" than the "tea baggie". I thought the "tea bagger" is the one steeping his bag, but my wife thought the bagger is the receiver of the bag. Until I know for sure, I'll stick to coffee.
BTW the Kenny vs. Spenny humiliation involving tea-bagging is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

"Phantom, I don't know if that is a fair assessment of the situation..here the norm is the vast percentage of guns owned by the population are long guns of the hunting variety."
Sometimes the old saying can have some real meaning:
"Beware of the man who owns but one gun."
(He probably knows how to use it)
Hunters familiar with their firearms are usually fairly good marksmen. They are also usually using large caliber, scoped firearms. Some that can reach out a long distance and touch something. That can be a formidable consideration, especially in the heavily forested north.
I don't know about other areas but there is a lot of shooting that goes on at the sporting clubs around here.
I have my own 50, 100 200 yard range right off my back deck (helps living on large acreages out in the boonies.
The club about an hour+ away regularly holds competitions at 500 yards. My friend that lives just beyond that has a range set up at 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 yards. Some of his friends have gotten pretty good at ringing that 1,000 yards steel buffalo consistently with their handloads.
I would put these people, in their home territory, up against a spray-and-pray group. The distances may not be to that latter group's advantage all the time.
Posted by: Yoop at April 29, 2009 6:36 PMWhen I was around 19 years old I had a friend who had a Winchester Model 9410 lever action. He hunted, but said the main reason he had it was for defence against the government.
I asked him why he didn't buy an Armalite like the government soldiers had,(they were still legal in Canada then) he said, "With one of these- he patted his Model 9410, I can get one of those when the soldiers come."
His older brother had a Lee Enfield 303.

Posted by: Joe at April 29, 2009 7:34 PM'Notice Harper has not abolished this white elephant either.' (White Elephant)synonym for Gun Registry)
Revnant Dream - I watched the vote in the H. of Commons last Wen for a Bloc motion to reinstate criminal charges to people who own longuns and do not register them. Every member sitting on their Puffin posts in the Troika of Traitors (Puffins/Dippers/Blocheads) opposition party of Canada voted FOR that motion with the notable exception of Larry Bagnel (he campaigned against the long gun registry in the last election; it is very unpopular in the Yukon).
' For the first time since Larry Bagnel has been the Yukon Liebral M.P. , I am proud of our M.P.'
There should have been headlines about this like: 'Lone Larry defies Leader and votes wishes of his constituents' Graham Wafer (CTY) should have been interviewing Larry Bagnel covering the potential 'split' in the Liebral Party.
As far as I know the motion and the vote never even made headlines in major papers ..it passed...it is the 'will of the people'...all the rural Dippers/Blocheads/Puffins have some 'splainin to do'.

"May I see your identification, por

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you're right!" exclaimed the agent. "Have a safe trip
back to Chicago "
Thanks!" he said. "But why do you think I'm from Chicago?"
agent replied, "I recognized Barack Obama in the middle!"
This is the best news I've heard since the U.S. election.
Very encouraging.
Well, those folks who bought guns, maybe they saw the Extreme Left win the election and figured they'd be better off safe than sorry.
Hmm... you know, if all the German Jews in the Third Reich were armed for self-defence, do you think the Holocaust would've happened, then?
When the People are armed, it's tougher for the state to make victims of them. This is why the Extreme Left wants to impose "gun control"... not to stop people from using guns to shoot each other, but rather to ensure that the people won't be able to resist tyranny and oppression from the state, which employs minions with guns.

Nice gun. I had one of those back in the '70s. I used to keep it in my locker at school. I was caught once with some of the bullets in my pocket by the police. They were amazed by them. People who use guns appreciate ammo. A bullet like that can do a lot of damage. I didn't have the gun with me so he gave me the bullets back and sent me on my way.

Canadian Sentinel is absolutely right as far as why the left is always interested in gun control. Perhaps the general public should research gun control and see how well it's served folks in the past. History has a funny way of repeating itself.
Posted by: Rick from AB at April 29, 2009 8:48 PMJust a couple of comments for all to munch on.
1. The Right to Bear Arms is an English Common Law Right. The US Constitution 2nd Amendment only copied it. We have it in Canada only if we stand up for it. The primary purpose is a true Militia; an army of the people. And not to fight the Democratically elected government of the day, but to prevent a Nazi/Commie takeover.
2. In Jamaica, the law is no guns or ammunition. If you were caught with so much as one round of live ammo in your pocket you could go to jail for life. Check out their crime rate.
3. If the Harper Conservatives were to abolish the Gun Registry via a government Bill, they would be held to blame for every suicide due to the coming recession (if the worst transpires) by the MSM. They would find themselves in the political wilderness for decades. That possibly is why Bill C-301 is a private members Bill. And, sparing a miracle, it doesn't stand a chance in He*l.
4. The B.C. Government made a pilgrimage to Ottawa to glean support in fighting Crime Gangs. They are Liberals and for example have spent a great deal of resources "Surrounding The Wrong Building" by going after Movie Industry Prop suppliers of Deactivated guns. The only company that did this (supply gangs) was issued a license by the Chief Firearms Officer who did not check to ensure they were indeed movie industry suppliers. They imported over 2000 guns (likely from China) for the gangs but have never been prosecuted.
(Additional pressure on Harper.)
I called a buddy to tell him about this story on

With the large numbers of regular and reserves tied up on overseas missions and deployments, they wouldn't be available for domestic service. Hence a little help from the friendly UN peace keeping forces.

"After all, Obama loves the UN doesn't he? He would love to show the rest of the world how America has changed."
Somehow I don't see the UN soldiers being happy walking US streets when they realize the biggest change Obama has caused. That would be a 25 to 30% increase in hardware for the population, and an increase of over one and a half billion rounds of feed for the hardware, per month. I just don't see that working out to well for the UN or Obama.
I don't think Obama really is very good at math. Otherwise he would have figured out that the sheer numbers involved in the sales described above might indicate that there are probably a lot of liberals who have decided to become firearms owners. Now why would that be?

ROFLMFAO
You're joking right?
I probably shouldn't do this but oh well.

Bush or Obama, Democrat or Republican it doesn't matter what color their button. If the government is going to over-step their bounds the people have a responsibility to intervene.
I've thought about the NATO/UN step in as well, and sad to say, I'm pretty sure that would be the plan -- that, and some of those "liberals" would finally show their violent side (many are itching to murder "right wingers" -- and torture and imprison, they can barely contain themselves on blogs, newspapers, radio call ins as it is -- even the children of said "right wingers" are fair game -- these are mad, as in crazy, people who have lost all sensibility); plus you have a lot of active combat troops deployed overseas, and there are many in the military who are completely supportive of the administration.
No, it's alwasy good to be prepared, but at this moment a "revolutionary" act would not only cost a lot of blood, but would end very badly for the "revolutionary type folks" and very badly for the country/world. At the present time it will have to be by rule of law, or nothing, and I wish people would not be so fired up at the prospect of going shooty-shooty at this time.
By the way, who is this "sarge" person on here? I come over every so often, and I'll be blasted if I can get past the lack of punctuation or the syntax.

my guess is that for every registered gun in canada there are at least two that aren't.

Bring it.
Old white guy said: "my guess is that for every registered gun in Canada there are at least two that aren't."
That seemed low to me, so I looked it up.
There's about 1.8 million registered firearms owners in Canada, with 7.3 million guns registered. That's about four each.
There are anywhere between 3 and 7 million gun owners in Canada, depending which estimate you go by. 3 million was the official Chretien/Rock estimate, doubling that wouldn't be imprudent.
So there's probably at least four guns out there for every one that's registered.
Yay!
