I’ve dropped a short post on the forum here:http://thepreparednesspodcast.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=439, that goes into some details and gives some links for information on these two bills, AB962 (Ban on Internet Ammunition Sales) and SB585 (Ban on Cow Palace Gun Show).
If you live in California, and are a gun owner, future gun owner, or have any interest in personal freedom – please join us in fighting these two bills. Both of them have passed and are currently sitting on the Governor’s desk, waiting for either a signature or a veto. We need to get as many citizens as possible to contact Governor Schwarzenegger’s office and give him their thoughts (politely please…). We have a chance to stop both of these bills, if we can get enough support.
For those of you that aren’t in California, in a way I apologize for using this space for a state-specific post – but in another way everyone needs to know about this. As has been proven many times in the past, if one state gets away with something, other states usually follow. So this could be happening in your state in a year, five years, or……

There have been countless studies, reports and findings that have repeatedly shown that guns are not as dangerous as ‘they’ would have us believe. That having a gun in your home is not more likely to get your family killed, but actually makes you safer. Concealed Carry laws really do make a state or city safer. This is common sense and real people understand this.
Now it seems, the American people are becoming even more aware of what the Second Amendment is really all about. Though it may be too late. Check out this article on CNN:
Poll: Fewer Americans support stricter gun control laws
“…only 39 percent of Americans now favor stricter gun laws…” Wow! That’s remarkable – 61% of Americans don’t want more gun laws.
I also find it interesting that this is very close to the percentage of the number of people who are in favor of *real* socialism in this country – 40%. It’s a guess on my part, but it seems to make sense.
Anyway, the point here is that people are starting to wake up and realize what’s going on around them.
Things might not be too late after all.

I came accross and intersting article from the BBC of all places. In the article, the author writes that despite have over 200 million guns, America is better off. He eloborates that, “there is a certain tranquility and civility about American life.” If you read the article critically, you’ll notice how he seems a little surpised at that fact. Further attention will also show how people are manipulated to feel and believe things the way we’re meant to. Yes I’m talking about the media. Read the article. What do you think?

Author Bob Owens has written an interesting article analyzing the national ammo shortage. Ownes makes three arguments and dismisses the military as the prime cause of the shortages. Most of the blame is placed on Civilian law enforcement agencies, both local and federal. As the level of militarization increases within these agencies their ammo consumption has risen to meet the demands. Lastly, Owens makes the claim that it’s us every day people causing the shortage as spurred on by his last two arguments: Economic instability and fear of draconian firearm and ammo legislation.
I can’t say that I disagree. I do believe Civilian Law Enforcement is the major contributing factor in the rise of ammo prices over the years. This is an industry that has had large growth over the last decade coupled with changing missions, something I do not agree with. I don’t like the militarization of our Civilian Law Enforcement, it changes the focus from the community and that of service to that of a military unit conducting combat operations. If the federal government would and had done its job, our law enforcement agencies wouldn’t have the need or justification to militarize to meet the increasing threats (percieved or otherwise) they are faced with today.
Owens argument about American’s fear is also spot on as far as I’m concerned. People are scared. Americans are currently faced with an administration and legislators that are as fervent about banning guns as fat kids get about cake, and our so-called “checks and balances” are essentially nonexistent because of the current political make up of the above mentioned. It’s a ploy, brought in under the flag of safety and well-being. Do not be fooled, it’s nothing more than another piece of the puzzle designed to erode our rights and freedoms.
People see the writing on the wall, they see the strong likelihood of loosing the ability to purchase, posses, and use firearms. People also see the economic instability and envision what it could become. It’s also impossible to watch the government fixes and measures designed to fix and stimulate the economy being done so badly that it inconceivable that it’s anything but deliberate. I liken it to someone painting over rusted metal and hoping that the rust will go away. I’m so frustrated that I feel like pulling my hair out.
I hope I’m not right
