It’s starting…

I’m wondering if this might not be a test case for restrictions here in the US later this year…

From the Canadian Shooting Sports Association January 2009 Newsletter

AMMO, BUY AMMO!
We have it on good authority that the U.S. State Dept is cutting off all Export Permits for certain calibers of ammunition, namely .50BMG, 7.62x39mm Soviet, 7.62x51mm NATO, .308 Winchester , 5.56mm NATO and .223 Remington. They may also expand the list to include 6.8mm SPC, 69mm Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45 Automatic, amongst others. As well, there may be blanket export bans on certain types of firearms and DSP-83 End Use Certificates (with a $250 Export Fee) attached to all other types. Already, many firearms-related companies are refusing to ship product to Canada because the U.S. required paperwork is simply too excessive to make it profitable and a number of Canadian distributors have had U.S. Export Permits refused for simple sporting arms in “prohibited” calibers.. Don’t be terribly surprised to see reloading components added to the list too!

It appears the anti-gun bureaucrats in the State Department have found a kindred spirit in President-Elect Barack Obama and are revving up the jets on us already. We have to emphasize that this information comes from a very reliable source and has been independently confirmed but at present, it is still being fought and the battle isn’t over yet. Lots of us are working on this and remember, this is U.S export only and does not affect EU imports. Firearms and ammunition exported from Europe will be unaffected (at least so far.) We’ll keep you informed as this unfolds. In the meantime, we suggest you consider stocking up.

When you get this, along with the comments from Gordon Hutchinson (the author of The Great New Orleans Gun Grab, who was on Gun Nuts blog talk last night) confirming the New Orleans PD along with other LE agencies in Louisiana have routinely confiscated weapons from people INCLUDING licensed CCW holders, then telling them they could have the weapons back when they produced a receipt of ownership. Most of the time when the individual showed up with a receipt, no gun was found… The officers had stolen the weapon… AND this has been going on for years!

With all due respect to my LEO friends who read this, NOPD is probably the most corrupt law enforcement agency in the United States, if not the world…

I am NOT surprised by this, nor was I surprised by the fact the Eddie Compass, et al, were augmenting their salaries with phantom cops (which came out during Katrina) when “hundreds” of cops didn’t report to work, etc. How could they? They didn’t exist…

When you add in HR 45 SUMMARY AS OF:1/6/2009–Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 –

Amends the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to prohibit a person from possessing a firearm unless that person has been issued a firearm license under this Act or a state system certified under this Act and such license has not been invalidated or revoked etc…

They road to hell is being paved with legislation and ignorance and we are in front of the steam roller…

  1. Every time my uneasiness and warning bells subside, something like this comes along.

    Still buying more ammo and components.

  2. Buy as many and as much as you can…………. You are right New Orleans is very corrupt, my old partner was from that department……… He had tales to tell…. hence he left there……..

    A good thing to know is……. Australia has heavy gun bans now………. Alot of beautiful weapons are coming out of Australia……… So if you want to stock up look for them on the internet……… A friend of ours is buying up the guns left and right.

    Keep buying guns and ammo, before the tide changes for at least the next 4 LONG years.

  3. Fuzzy/Crucis- Agreed, still buying too 🙂

    CPD- I have freinds in AUS, most of the good stuff has been gone for 4-5 years now. Lots of relics popping up, but not any good buys (at least that I have seen).

    ADM- agreed
