BP Alert…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
And they’re off and running…

El Pres… HERE.  

Cuomo… HERE.  

O’Malley… HERE.

Now apparently (for now) the Illinois bill is dead, or at least on life support…  The Connecticut single shot bill, unknown…

And from Laura, a question about Wally World and no more ammo… HERE.

I find it really interesting that there has been NO reporting on what was said in the meeting between El Prez and Wally World… Was it threats?  Tax breaks?  Unionization???  Just WTF is going on?

Bottom line, if you don’t believe the left is serious, y’all better wake up and smell the coffee; before you end up smelling the gun powder…

Random Things…

Had a planned range ‘day’ yesterday, so on the way I decided to stop by my local gun store…

I guess ‘ravaged’ would be the best way I can put it.  Racks empty, cases empty, six EBRs left in the store, down to less than a dozen shottys, about the only thing left were some revolvers, a couple of Ruger .22s, a few Sigs and a few Glocks.  The most guns there were bolt actions, but over half of that wall was empty also! 

The magazine wall was pretty much emptied, along with anything AR related.  Very few boxes of ammo left, mostly ‘odd’ calibers…  In talking to the owner, he DID NOT raise prices, as he said he values long term commitments rather than short term profits (he didn’t jack the prices in 2008 either). I did pick up some cleaning supplies, but that was about it.

At the range is was pretty subdued, folks were ‘husbanding’ ammo, and picking up spent cases. It seems most of the folks at the rifle range were sighting in to be dead on at 100, and they’d finish one rifle, case it and move on to the next with NO extra rounds fired.  A couple of us helped a newbie get his AR on paper, both BUIS and an Aimpoint and reminded him NOT to try to put the dot on the front post.  As I packed up to move over to the pistol range, I noticed there was NO brass in the brass bucket, it had been picked clean.

At the pistol range it was much the same, folks working on POA/POI, taking their time and not a lot of rounds going down range.  Spent a little time working with the .22, then worked rounds through the carry pistols and strong/weak hand.  A few more folks showed up, so I packed up and let them have my spot.  I gathered up the spent casings, walked over to the brass bucket, and noticed it was empty, so I thought twice and dumped them in a bag and put them in the truck.

Since the pistol range is all the way at the far end of the property, just out of curiousity I stopped at every range on the way back to the club house, not a single round in the brass buckets anywhere!!!  And it looked like somebody had been picking up brass from in front of most of the ranges too…

After getting home and doing the normal cleaning, I decided to scout around on the net for ammo, and folks it is BLEAK out there for damn near all of the standard caliber rounds…  Most places just say out of stock and don’t even have back order dates up!!!

Tomorrow, it’s back to emailing and calling the congresscritters, which I plan to do every day until this situation is over.  If you write letters, DO NOT write to the Washington addresses, write to the local district addresses. I’m hearing DC is not expecting to be able to deliver the mail in anything approaching a timely fashion as it all has to be checked (one piece at a time)…

Keep your powder dry, and your options open.

Interesting…

Movin’ on up…

North that is…

Illinois is now giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens soooo…

This has kinda dropped off the radar since the election, but having said that, things continue. From Arizona…


The five families of illegals renting the house at the end of the cul de sac down the street in my “bedroom community” have been packing up their pickup trucks for the past two days.   Looks like they’re walking away from the Gov-subsidized 2-story rental.  The trucks are packed so high with appliances, bicycles, luggage, cardboard boxes and stuff that they look like the opening scene of the old “Beverly Hillbillies” TV show.

Since I speak some Spanish, I decided to go down and inquire as to their intentions.  I figured they were headed back to Mexico with their “booty,” as I see so many doing this during this time of year.

Nope.  They’re headed for Chicago…the new promised land!  Spanish spoken there.  The Mexican cartels have driven most of the black gangs underground, so it is a “safe place to live,” if you’re a Mexican, and living in the USA illegally, with a boatload of Anchor Babies…. (anchor babies are to Mexicans as baby mamas are to black males – a source of steady income from the US taxpayers).

And Gregory gets off scott free…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
NO real surprise here, after all he IS one of the ‘elite’…

Irvin Nathan, the attorney general for the District of Columbia, announced Friday that he will not press charges against NBC News’ David Gregory nor any employee of the broadcast network for violating the city’s gun laws. Violation of the city’s firearms laws carry a maximum $1,000 fine and one year in jail.

Mr. Nathan wrote to an attorney representing Mr. Gregory and NBC News, Lee Levine of Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz, LLP, that, “OAG has made this determination, despite the clarity of the violation of this important law, because under all of the circumstances here a prosecution would not promote public safety in the District of Columbia nor serve the best interests of the people of the District to whom this office owes its trust.”

Emily Miller at the Washington Times has followed this from the get go… Full article HERE.  Thanks to her the whole dirty story is out there.  And one more indication what is good for the goose doesn’t apply to the gander…

So do we now have the ‘Gregory’ defense???  Probably NOT for us peons…

What if…

The government conducted testing on the American Public without their knowledge…

Lots of folks now know about the Tuskegee Syphilis experiment that was done HERE. 

But how many people knew about THESE tests???



Hmmm… Wonder if that’s what’s wrong with me…  Sigh…

Napolitano on the current situation…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
Judge Napolitano writes in commentary for the Washington Times…

The Right to Shoot Tyrants Not Deer.


The right of the people to keep and bear arms is an extension of the natural right to self-defense and a hallmark of personal sovereignty. It is specifically insulated from governmental interference by the Constitution and has historically been the linchpin of resistance to tyranny. Yet the progressives in both political parties stand ready to use the coercive power of the government to interfere with the exercise of that right by law-abiding persons because of the gross abuse of that right by some crazies in our midst.

The ‘money’ quote:


Did you empower the government to impair the freedom of us all because of the mania and terror of a few?

I sure as hell didn’t…

Did you know this? I didn’t…

Did you know this???

Can you believe this? Eleven states with more people on welfare than they have employed!!!

In La La land. Even a 3rd grader can see the fallacy of this and, of course, the number of states will continue to grow until the bubble bursts

It would appear we are doomed and past the point of no return these 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed!

And Surprise-Surprise!!! 7 of these States voted for Obama.

And California is about to go bankrupt, as they are falling further and further under budget even WITH the new taxes passed in Nov…

So will the Administration bail them out??? Of course they will, they’re too big to fail… sigh…
