Guns and Ammo

Posted by: gauntlett In: Freedom| Personal| The Road Ahead

So, I’ve heard about the legislation that doesn’t have sponsors at this point on gun control. I’m talking about H.R. 45. You can find the link here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/C?c111:./temp/~c111tCkvxA

Essentially the bill will severely limit gun rights once again impinging on our freedoms. Don’t expect this to pass unless we have a national emergency. The financial deterioration could have such implications.

I wasn’t all that suprised to learn about this bill, but I was recently suprised to learn about various states introduciing legistalation tracking all ammo purchases via a database and having a laser imprint on all ammo.

So, essentially there will be a record of all your ammo purchases including which calibers your purchased. There are other details about owning non-coded ammo and taxes that vary per each state proposing the laws.

I just can’t help but wonder 1) the implications if such legislation is passed, and 2) why such legislation is being proposed.

Something is amiss and doesn’t feel right. All I can say is that it isn’t for the better. We are about to hit the transition period in the crisis. It is the inflection point where the crisis was only affecting various groups of people to affecting almost everyone.

I think many people are still in denial that anything is wrong or if they realize something is wrong they think it is a temporary blip in the timeline. They don’t understand the global reach and implications of the present crisis, what caused it or when it began.

All I will say at the moment is that subprime is only a piece of the puzzle.

Now is the time to start taking actions. Now is the time to think about various scenarios that may or may not happen. Think about planning for a major natural disaster and that will give you some food for thought. Hey if nothing happens at least you prepared for the possibility and if an earthquake hits you will be ready.

  • Yes, this is true. However, I find it unfortunate that in the land of the free we must resort to black markets. Though this is nothing new, and I imagine once prices on foodstuffs have price floors then we will see serious black markets. until then...

    There will always be a black market for guns and ammo for those who don't want to be tracked.
