NRA: BATFE Sets Sights on Wrong Target

[Atypical Liberal]

From this month's "America's 1st Freedom":

"All of this gets back to the truly absurd claim that cartels are buying their armaments from federally licensed retailers - one felony straw-sale at a time.

Imagine the head of the Sonora cartel riding his multi-million dollar, bomb-proof, armored HUMVEE, fresh from inspecting a DC-10 loaded with eight tons of coaine. He turns to his drug smuggling logistics expert and says, "I want you to go to Bob's Bait and Sporting Goods in Pima, Ariz., and obtain for me a TEC-9. I understand Bob is lax with his federal paperwork."

Made me laugh. :)

1. Brick and mortar store owners are not known for .

Peeling snitches and cops and soldiers and mayors with an angle grinder .

Who would you rather deal with ? Zetas , or someone on main street that is scared shitless of losing his life's work ? Who would be more prone to assume the position ?

2. Heh..Good one n/t

3. K&R ...The BATFF just wants to increase its power and hopes to help pass another ...

Assault Weapons Ban.

The administration is doing everything within its power to make it look like the drug cartels in Mexico are getting all their firepower from the everyday gun store in the United States. Either the administration is stupid or they must think Americans are. Your average gun store doesn't stock fully automatic assault rifles, grenades, bazookas and rocket launchers.

Sometimes I believe our government really doesn't want our citizens to be too well educated because:

WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Yes, I just finished rereading George Orwell's 1984.

"The administration is doing everything within its power to make it look like the drug cartels in Mexico are getting all their firepower from the everyday gun store in the United States."

You have no idea (at least as far as I know) how deep and damning the truth of that statement is.

I can...Nevermind. It will all be known semi-soon.

The thin ice is about to break.

7. Good. About time! (n/t)

10. Coordinated state propaganda campaigns belong on the list

11. Oh, I see.

"Coordinated state propaganda campaigns belong on the list."

Oh, I see. Yes indeed, however, what I was referring to, lies more in the area of...um...deliberately adding to a problem in a real and measurable way with the intent to exagerate it, and thereby bolster support for "fixxing it". For the purpose of strengthening and reinforcing an agenda.

Something big - really really big - is coming, and it will be nothing but GOOD for gun owners and second amendment supporters provided its not buried, or attention diverted away from it (which is a real possibility right now).

It should also make the antis howl like never before. More than they do about the nra or the AWB expiration, by orders of magnitude. More importantly, it will discredit and embarass whats left of the anti-gun movement, and deprive it of its last real, and most effective support mechanism.

More I will not say outside of PMs.
