NRA-ILA :: Still waiting for those wild west shootouts

NRA-ILA :: Still waiting for those wild west shootouts

In the early 1990’s, when the push began in most states to allow citizens to be allowed to carry concealed weapons, those who opposed were fearful of a new wave of bloodbaths in the streets if this were to happen. To nearly everyone’s surprise, except for those who were behind the effort, and with only two states still not offering any sort of private concealed carry, violent crime statistics per capita have slowed and in some cases reversed. Proponents of CCW point to the increase in concealed carry as the major reas

The USA is suffering the most severe ammunition famine in living memory. Gun fanciers, fearing a Democrat crackdown on every American’s right to pack heat, are clearing shelves at ammo shops and hoarding cartridges.

AP reports that the Remington Arms Company’s factory in North Carolina is now working around the clock trying to supply insatiable demand for rifle, pistol and shotgun cartridges.

“We’ve had to add a fourth shift and go 24-7,” Remington spokesman Al Russo told the news wire. “It’s a phenomenon that I have not seen … (hit link for more)

California Gun Bills upcoming….that need to be stopped. AB962 and SB585

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……

People Don’t Want More Gun Control

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.
