Ammo Sales Stay Heavy

Sales are Heavy

Sales are Heavy

We are well armed, at least that’s what the L.A. Times had to say today. What they are getting at is the record gun and ammunition sales that are currently happening.

What they failed to mention are the real reasons why. At least the real reasons I think why.

It’s not that people were running out to pick up a Ruger for mother’s day, and it’s not that people are trying to load dad down with buckshot before his day in June either. Nope, it’s an out and out fear of more gun control if you ask me. People see that gun control laws coming their way and are stocking up on arms and ammunition like nobody’s business.

Because they don’t want to lose their right to have them.

It’s not a coincidence boys and girls. People are more scared of government than ever before, and these record gun sales prove it. At least it proves it to me.

Discuss.

Jailing honest citizens

gun-prison

I have to tell you, I’m still reeling pissed from yesterday. I spent some time doing some research after I made yesterday’s post, only to find out that there are MANY states that want to turn law abiding citizens into criminals.

Just for being gun owners.

Understand, it’s not legal gun owners causing gang violence in L.A. nor is it registered gun owners in most of the gun related crime in America.

Nope, it’s people that have obtained them ILLEGALLY. So what’s the best approach? I don’t know, but it sure as hell isn’t a good approach to make owning a gun wrong. It sure isn’t a good approach to punish someone that buys more than one weapon a month. Can somebody explain that logic to me?

Give me a break please.

The real deal is going to have to center on responsible gun ownership. Not limiting the amount of guns, but securing whatever guns you might own. It’s why we do what we do here at firearmsfax.com , we offer a safe deposit box that allows you to store all of your weapons serial numbers in a safe place, should they ever be stolen. (sounds like responsible ownership to me….)

Anyway, back to the topic. What do you think boys and girls? Should a person go to prison because they LEGALLY purchased a couple of handguns in the same month?

Tougher Laws or Gun Control?

patrick-administration

Well, the Patrick Administration is back at it again. Calling for tougher laws in Beantown, wanting to send people to PRISON if they buy more than one firearm in a thirty day period.

Here’s a cut from Boston.com:

Backed by Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, the Patrick administration asked lawmakers yesterday to allow prosecutors to hold suspects in gun cases without bail and to bar gun owners from buying more than one firearm within 30 days or face 2 1/2 years in prison.

Those proposals were offered as part of a broader attack on gun-related violence in the state and were made after the Supreme Judicial Court on Monday banned prosecutors from seeking dangerousness hearings in illegal gun possession cases.

The court, in a 4-1 ruling, said that illegal gun possession is a “passive and victimless crime.”

The proposal filed by the governor would rewrite state law to make it clear that prosecutors have legal authority to try to keep someone in custody for up to 90 days while awaiting trial, an idea that Bristol County District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter has aggressively used in his jurisdiction.

It is not a victimless and passive crime, because owning a gun is NOT a crime! It irritates me gun control advocates like to brand honest, law abiding people as criminals in order to further their beliefs. It’s not right.
