dib Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Word is, Obama is going to sign a bill to ban ammo like .223 and .308. People are buying up ammo like crazy. Good thing 9mm and .45 cal are harmless. Of course .223 and .308 can be used at long range. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The bottom of a bottle of Jim Beam. I like the comedy routine (it might be Chris Rock) has about guns. He says that there should be no ban on guns, but each bullet should be taxed so it costs $15000. That would make people really think about when to use them.

WVUFootball29 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I heard Obama was going to make the school week 6 days a week now and 8-10 hours a day. I also heard that he was born into a terrorist family and is the antichrist according to Nostradamus and the Mayans.... I love how things like this get passed around and then some journalist looking for his way in puts them into print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices have tripled since then! Looks like I have a new source of retirement income. .223 rounds will be very valuable. On the other hand, I'll have to cut down on trips to the range with the AR!

I don't think they could ever pull off this bill since many hunters use .223 and .308 and they are considered sporting rounds as well as "assault weapon" rounds. If it did pass, there is no way I would buy an AR15 since ammo would be really expensive. Although you can now get an AR in many different calibers.

Acantha Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Obama has been named "Gun Salesman of the Year". I was buying a gun toward the end of the campaign last year, and even though he hadn't won yet the place was packed and everyone was stockpiling. Even had a news team there talking to customers about why they thought it would be so much more difficult to buy once Obama took office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dib - I know from other posts that this general (right to bear arms) subject is one that you are very passionate about and I can admire your attention to it. However, personally I will never understand the fascination with guns that this country has. I respect the idea that people enjoy hunting or range shooting for recreation and they should be able to. Problem for me is that after that I get confused by the "need" for people to be armed to the teeth. At the end of the day it is my belief that the widespread and easy access to weapons makes the US a more and not less dangerous place to live. Just last week some poor guy (a janitor) was hit by a bullet because some stupid person (they suspect gang kids just "goofing" around) shot randomly into a mall. Again, I know this situation is far from the hunter who wants to properly use a weapon for recreational purposes. Maybe the solution is that if they catch the idiot who did this then s/he should park in jail for a long time and if they get caught with a gun again they get fried. When I had a Japanese girlfriend I admired the fact that you (she) could walk around the streets of Tokyo at any time of the day or night and not fear being harmed. People there are so adverse to guns that there was a block in the Omotosando district where people would not go because someone had been killed by gunfire about twenty years before. I know there is no way I will change your mind nor are you likely to change mine. Just a few thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
