Rather, the purpose of gun control is to control and disarm Americans.<br /><br />If they were interested in gun control they would regularly raid ghettos and favelas for unlicensed, stolen, or illegal guns possessed by felons and those likely to become felons.<br /><br />Do you see regular raids on ghettos, raids intended to sack "the joint", to seize those weapons, the weapons wielded by the vast majority of crimes committed by the majority of criminals and the vast majority of career criminals?<br /><br />If not, revisit your first principles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-11761871775948884512016-10-30T06:47:19.333-05:002016-10-30T06:47:19.333-05:00> currently available ammo.

There are dozens of small specialty loaders who will happily fix you up with anything you want, even if it involves turning new brass out of bar stock on a CNC lathe.<br /><br />35 years ago I bought a Mauser chambered in 7.65x53. No US manufacturer loaded that caliber. Norma occasionally imported some, but the last batch was sold out. So my introduction to reloading was cutting down and reforming .30-06 brass to make 7.65 brass before I could get to the "reload" part... now, new 7.65 ammunition is just a few clicks away.<br /><br />Locally, you're pretty much out of luck if you want something besides .308, .223, .45, or 9mm. Last time I looked there was no .38 Special or .30-30 to be had. "We only stock four SKUs because they're the ones that sell the best. Of course, they're the only ones we sell..."TRXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-12113454277242606392016-10-30T06:38:40.051-05:002016-10-30T06:38:40.051-05:00Some guns might be simply lost, or destroyed by fi...Some guns might be simply lost, or destroyed by fire, or blown up.

Or so they believe. And every time their grand and glorious plans crash and burn it always seems to be somehow that we didn't cooperate, give enough, or did not whole heartedly go along with their schemes.<br />We are free citizens by natural right and by the strength we possess. Disarmed we become subjects, and are seeing even now how well that is working in most all of Europe, and in fact most of the world.Uncle Larhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008207593205949098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-43345714720041215132016-10-29T15:27:13.275-05:002016-10-29T15:27:13.275-05:00Uncle Lars - as you and I both know 'It Ain...Uncle Lars - as you and I both know 'It Ain't None Of Their Damn Business' what I do or do not possess or in what quantities, so long as I am not abusing anyone with it or creating a public health nuisance with it.

And in a few states it's actually taken hold.<br />Still, at the national level every effort is made to demonize and denigrate gun ownership. After every mass shooting the usual suspects dance in the still wet blood of the innocent victims demanding that something be done, even though their usual shopping list of gun control laws would have done nothing to stop the latest tragedy.<br />Polls have been conducted that "prove" that fewer people own guns. In response I raise the simple question, "someone you don't know comes to your door or calls you on the phone and asks questions about guns in the home, just how open and honest are you going to be in response?"Uncle Larhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008207593205949098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-73122346515516051812016-10-29T12:12:41.350-05:002016-10-29T12:12:41.350-05:00Hell one other reason it wont work is by the most ...Hell one other reason it wont work is by the most recent serious polling on it it's very unpopular.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710666926746925370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-25635782078145507282016-10-29T07:59:17.813-05:002016-10-29T07:59:17.813-05:00Weaponsmans comment, "...very low estimate ...Weaponsmans comment, "...very low estimate of 329 million new firearms to the US market 1999-2016" made me think. I'm 65 years old so it's not surprising I have more firearms made before 1999 counting only those that are useable with currently available ammo. The ratio is about 2:1, older vs recent. If many folks are like me there are a lot of firearms out there.<br />Punzdeleonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403228190896440245noreply@blogger.com
