After watching the 24 hour news cycle I can see the networks are just as hard up for news as I am… but here is some that may give you heartburn or faith.
As many of you know that the military brass has long been used by the American consumer market. They use the once fired rounds. For example Black Hills buys the stuff from the military and cleans it up reloads it and re-sells it and it puts many people to work. It has become a large business. It seems now the Govt. is thinking about selling the brass themselves and thus cutting out the American reloading market. Could this be just another attempt to put a halt to and control of guns….. Using these once fired rounds and putting out some low priced ammo for the average person is important. This administration knows that and I am sure that is what the have in mind is to slowly make it harder and harder for you and me to enjoy the sport.
Dept of Homeland Security…. well sort of. Here is a article that appeared in the SSR news.
A recent report of an audit by the Dept. of homeland Security inspector general has shown the during the time period 2007 -2008 , nearly 300 firearms belonging to DHS agents were lost… yup Lost misplaced or stolen. In a number of cases, the lost firearms we later found int the hands of the criminals. The reason for lost weapons was because they were not properly secured. President of the Federal Law enforcement Assn. called the findings unacceptable…. Ya think. All I can say is sleep well… your DOHS is sleeping too.
Ohio… Judge says Buy a gun. Hard to believe but in Ashtabula County which is the largest in Ohio is having problems making ends meet and have went from 112 deputy's to 49 in the county. The Judge went on record to arm yourself and be vigilant. Good advice… They should also organize and have watch groups….if nothing else take some firearms training courses…. learn how to protect yourself and family.
Keep you eye on the Arizona immigration law…. should be interesting. I happen to know a gentleman who just recently retired from the border patrol… he now lives in North Dakota and happened by the shop not long ago to have some work done. We got to talking about the border and the long and short of it is the Govt. just doesn't want to do anything because on one side the party wants cheep labor and on the other side they want the votes to stay in power….. anyway I asked him how he ended up in North Dakota. Here is his answer…. He said when I left Arizona I stuck a burrito on my antenna and headed north and when I stopped for gas the gentleman asked me what the heck that was….. at that point I knew I was far enough North and thats how He ended up in North Dakota. I will leave you with that. We also welcome your opinion and feel free to respond.
