Backdoor Gun Control!
Our President said he would not push for new laws on gun control.
Apparently he can keep his word, and still strip us of our 2nd Amendment right.
The following is a summary of a document from MAIG ( Mayors Against Illegal Guns). This is the thinly veiled anti-gun group headed by Mayor Bloomberg of New York.
The document was submitted to President Obama in a discreet meeting, for his support on the Fed level.
What is scary about this? All the points in the document can be instituted by an Executive Order by the Prez! No debate or vote required.
Here is the summary as stated on Michael Banes Blog by Michael Himself:
• Require REAL ID compliant identification for all gun purchasers. Those in non-complying states, which are many, will no longer be permitted to buy firearms.
• Recommends a ban on the importation of all “non-sporting” firearms and ammunition, and specifically calls for banning the FN Five-Seven. Kiss cheap imported rounds of military caliber goodbye. Maybe kiss Glock’s goodbye too. MAIG isn’t all that specific on what would be sporting or non sporting. Also note that MAIG can no longer claim they do not advocate banning guns. They do.
• Calls for keeping records for people who get a NICS default proceed, which means your background check has not “cleared” but you went through the required three day waiting period. These records can be kept for up to 20 years, in the case of someone who’s name matches someone on the “terror watch” list and six months ordinarily. Default proceeds can happen if NICS has incomplete records, or the system is down for a protracted period of time.
• Calls for more enforcement of gun shows using the Richmond model. The techniques used at the Richmond gun shows were bad enough that Congress held hearings about the methods, and demanding ATF put a stop to them. They actually recommend rescinding a number of the changes made to prevent these abuses.
• Recommends ways for the administration to exploit loopholes in Tiahrt to publish information on “problematic” gun dealers (so they can be sued by New York City, no doubt). As we’ve pointed out on this blog before, having a lot of traces doesn’t necessarily mean a dealer is breaking the law.
• Lots of recommendations for new record keeping requirements on the part of FFLs• Requiring placement of alternate serial numbers of every newly manufactured gun, and requiring serial numbers to be deeper and larger. Also require that a consistent serial numbering scheme be adopted across all manufacturers and importers.
• Asks ATF to promote MAIG’s Responsible Dealer Partnership Program that they foisted on Wal-Mart, much like they do with NSSF’s “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy.” They imply NSSF’s program does not go far enough.
• Asks the CPSC to mandate gun safety lock standards. Gun dealers are required to provide these, but many gun owners are older, or younger, and do not have children. This would be a way to add substantially to the cost of a firearm, if a 30 dollar lock needed to be included with each sale.
• Extend the multiple purchase reporting requirement to long guns, especially ARs, 50 caliber firearms, and Kalashnikov variants. MAIG is not very clear on this, and I think it would be difficult for dealers to keep track of the current state of regulation.
The entire document was obtained by a legal firm through the Freedom of Information Act. MAIG was not happy that it became public!
You can see the actual document in its complete form as submitted to our President here:

This is scary to those of us who value freedom! It would essentially make gun ownership nearly impossible at best and a crime at worst!
Be aware of what our "fine" leaders will do if not kept in check!

Only The Rich Eat???!!!
Well, our State is in a major budget deficit, as most States are......
So our "wise" Governor stated that he would only support new taxes or tax increases for the wealthy.
So......he then promptly suggested that the legislators re-implement the tax on groceries! This tax was taken off of all grocery items a couple of years back.
Thus, the only conclusion I can come to is..... that he feels only rich people eat!!!
Politician = Idiot

Kel-Tec is debuting a 22 Magnum pistol at this years SHOT Show.
I find this peaking my interest.
I do not need such a pistol, nor is it practical....yet if the pistol will run...I suspect I will own one!

The Day After.....
And only 364 days until Christmas comes again!!
It seemed as if many had trouble feeling the joy this year. Don't know for sure what the cause was, but a lot of my friends felt that way.
Hopefully, better things to come!

WELL........
Been almost six months since I last posted. Much has kept me from updating.
I will refrain from the long and twisting road since July 30th, and will simply try to pick up where I left off!
And.....
Merry Christmas!
