Leftists: it’s not about gun confiscation — except when it is

Obama Gun ConfiscationMissouri is about to pass a bill that would, in fact, confiscate firearms from lawful gun owners.  From GatewayPundit.com:

Missouri Democrats Introduce Legislation to Confiscate Firearms – Gives Gun Owners 90 Days to Turn in Weapons

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, February 14, 2013, 9:52 AM

Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution.

Here’s part of the Democratic proposal in Missouri:

4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:

(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;

(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or

(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

5. Unlawful manufacture, import, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon or a large capacity magazine is a class C felony.

Clear evidence of what the bulk of Conservatives and those who believe in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights knew all along: Leftists and Demorats do in fact want to confiscate firearms, outright, from American citizens.

DHS Purchases 21.6 Million More Rounds of Ammunition — WHY?

Posted on by

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has engaged a contract to purchase an additional 21.6 MILLION rounds of small arms ammunition for the DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (their auxiliary training point) in Artesia, New Mexico.  The contract equates to 10 million rounds of 165-grain .40 caliber JHP, 10 million rounds of 115-grain 9mm JHP, and 1.6 million rounds of 9mm ball.

A DHS informant has already indicated that the United States is preparing for a massive amount of potential civil strife.

And further — lest you forget — the US DHS and ICE already secured a contract with ATK for half a BILLION small arms rounds in .40 caliber, April of 2012.

As I wrote:

Compare this to, for example, the war in Iraq. Where 5.5 million rounds per month were fired at its height. That equates to 66 million rounds per year in wartime. This then, further, equates to roughly seven years of war against US citizens at an “Iraq-type” expenditure.

Obama’s NDAA already exists. It is extant. And it doesn’t stand for the North Delaware Apartment Association. It stands for a diminishment of your civil liberties. It provides Mr Obama the power to detain Americans at will.

What is the further “logical extension”?

That is this: your federal government seems to be anticipating a MASSIVE shooting war against its own citizens.

I can feature no other reason for such a staggering purchase of handgun rounds by the federal government.

The bottom line is this: over the last 10 months, 1.625 BILLION rounds of ammunition have been ordered by DHS — your federal government.  Not state governments.  Not county governments.  Not city governments.

InfoWars indicates:

Such massive quantities of ammo purchases have stoked fears that the agency is preparing for some kind of domestic unrest. In 2011, Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to prepare for a mass influx of immigrants into the United States, calling for the plan to deal with the “shelter” and “processing” of large numbers of people.

Further, and perhaps more pointedly for me:

A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security that was leaked last year characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.

That, essentially, quantifies ME and the bulk of my readers as terrorists.  Plain and simple.  I don’t know how to otherwise express this.

Since that time, I’ve been doing some serious cogitation on the issue.  I’ve been attempting to “connect the dots,” so to speak.

The ammunition upon which the topic is predicated deals with small arms.  Primarily popular calibers with both civilian and non-military law enforcement — to the tune of 9mm and .40 cal.

Conspicuously absent in these stories are the categories of .223 / 5.56 — .308 / 7.62.  Also absent are the “older” small arms rounds of .38 caliber, .357, .44 and .45 caliber.  The large current sniper round of .50 caliber was also excluded.

So I began to think.  Damn me for that.

WHAT I CONCLUDED:

These massive orders have been heretofore unplaced by the federal government for “civilian consumption.”  With some insight:

As Rangemaster for my 2,000+ deputy Western Fornicalia department, I quickly found myself slightly impacted when ordering ammunition back in the early 2000s.  The federal government was, obviously, fighting on fronts that demanded 9mm and .223.  I rapidly discovered that ammunition manufacturers didn’t run simultaneous lines of, say, .45 and 9mm and .40 and .223 and .308; oh no.  They ran one strict line of .45 caliber.  Then they changed dies and brass and ran another line of 9mm.  And so on.  It defied description and logic but it was what it was.  The military was the priority.

Knowing the patterns of ammunition manufacturers — and taking into consideration the MASSIVE federal ammunition orders — I can submit a conclusion that, now, to me, should have been glaringly-obvious many months ago.  And that is this:

The federal government out-thought both the law enforcement and the civilian aspect of ammunition importance.

When you place a priority order, everything else gets kicked aside.

– Minor LE gets kicked aside;
– Civilian orders get kicked aside;

To what end?  An end that I submit we all should have guessed and didn’t:

When massive priority federal orderings get made, that diminishes the availability of ammunition for the civilian and — also — the civilian law enforcement venue.

Plain and simple.

Ammunition is hard to get and order for average Americans.  Imagine that.

What no one else is telling you: civilian law enforcement is also finding it difficult to locate and order its ammunition.  Imagine that.

The federal government killing two birds with one stone: stocking up for itself; reducing rounds available for civilian “terrorists.”

You tell me:

Where am I wrong here?

Obama visits the Minneapolis Police on Monday to further gin up Gun Control

Posted on by

Obama Police 2Minneapolis, Minnesota Police Chief Janee Harteau takes the President’s podium in support of his gun control laws.  You ignorant pliable hack, Chief Harteau.

The Minneapolis Police Department, its PC Chief and those agencies and officers who stood behind the dais in support of Mr Obama should be ashamed of themselves as members of law enforcement.  I can only hope you were told: “you will be there or you will face discipline.”  Each and every one of you.  Female.  Male.  Khaki.  White.  Powder blue.  Dark blue.

Even then, In my opinion, however — you should have demurred.

Obama Police 5The WhiteHouse.gov website said:

Preventing Violence: President Obama Asks Americans to Stand Up and Say “This Time It’s Different”

President Obama was in Minnesota today, where he met with men and women who are on the front line of the fight to prevent more tragedies like the ones in Newtown and Aurora: local police officers, community leaders, and people who themselves had been victims or whose families had been victims of gun violence.

“Illegal guns are causing violence; background checks will stop everything.”

This is absolutely incoherent.  None of it has direct “cause and affect” related to the recent “gun violence.”  It’s about scoring political points with the Left using tragedy to advance their agendas.

You either support the 2nd Amendment — the United States Constitution and its concomitant Bill of Rights — as a Law Enforcement Officer — or you don’t.

There is NO “in-between.”

This is an important distinction which, in my opinion, is clear and indisputable:

You either support your United States, or you don’t.

Obama Police 1To those who either were ordered or who shuffled off the Photo Op because you are the LEO sheep you are: you disgust me.  You’re simply monkeys with guns, willing to sell your soul for a photo op.

You should be ashamed in a way I couldn’t possibly conjure.

Senator Feinstein’s bill to ban some rifles, handguns and magazines:

Posted on by

DiFi's Vision For Women

The photo at left is the paradigm Diane Feinstein wants for women in the US.

From TheHill.com:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and a group of Senate Democrats on Thursday introduced legislation to ban the sale and manufacture of more than 150 types of semi-automatic weapons with military-style features.

Feinstein’s bill will expand the criteria for classifying military-style assault weapons from a 1994 law, which lapsed a decade later. Her new measure will ban the sale of about 150 types of firearms, including some rifles and handguns, as well as the sale of high-capacity magazines, according to USA Today.

The bill will exempt firearms used for hunting and will grandfather in guns and magazines owned before the law’s potential enactment. However, the grandfathered weapons will be logged in a national registry.

Unlike the 1994 assault-weapons ban, there is no sunset provision in Feinstein’s newest gun-control bill.

What are the details?  To begin:

The bill would ban the sale, transfer, manufacture and import of all semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can accept detachable magazines and have at least one military feature.

It would also ban semi-automatic rifles and handguns that have fixed magazines capable of carrying more than 10 rounds and all semi-automatic shotguns that have folding or detachable stocks, pistol grips, forward grips, or fixed magazines with room for more than five rounds.

It includes a grandfather clause that would exempt assault weapons “lawfully possessed” on the date of enactment. Background checks would be required prior to the sale or transfer of weapons exempted under the clause.

From TheDailyCaller.com:

WASHINGTON — California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein staged a dramatic press conference Thursday on Capitol Hill with 10 weapons at her side and unveiled legislation instituting a government ban on more than 150 types of firearms, including rifles, pistols and shotguns.

Flanked by other anti-gun liberal lawmakers, including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Feinstein announced the introduction of the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.”

Here is the closest to a concrete list of banned weapons I can, to this hour, determine (click on photo to enlarge), as well as this link from Senator Feinstein:
