Gun show visitors angry over federal firearms bill

Some of you might have noticed my brief absence. I was buying weapons, we will not get into what I bought, that is not important. What is important was the hour long chat I had with the officers earning extra money to guard the show. Interesting enough the police officers admitted to stock piling ammunition and buying themselves a few more weapons. When police officers become concerned with the possibility that weapon confiscation will soon happen all of us should be concerned.

We discussed a number of issues, breeching techniques, standoff distances and other pesky subjects that would have to be worked out before a team could enter and seize weapons. These officers openly admitted they will never seize weapons from a citizen just because some DC bureaucrat outlaws them. From their perspective guns have saved far more people than they have hurt. First responders would much rather see a dead criminal upon arrival than a dead family.

We parted friends and when I explained my plan to stop, limit and retaliate against traditional breaching techniques should the gun grabbers enter my home they gave me a few ideas of their own. Needless to say, I think the bureaucrats have severely underestimated the average Americans determination to remain free and armed.

Here is one possible scenario should gun confiscation become a reality. With fresh contacts inside the police forces warning armed Americans that they are next on the list, the first teams to enforce any ban will soon be eliminated. A quick refusal by other officers to attempt it and the walking off the job by most of our law enforcement will quickly result in anarchy in the streets. There are not enough police and military forces inside the US to stop the chaos, control will only be regained by gun owners, protecting themselves, neighbors and restoring order one foot of earth at a time. Once again proving that freedom requires an armed civilian force. Not a pretty picture is it?

Visitors and vendors at a Longview gun show Saturday were in unison against a federal bill aimed to prohibit users and sellers of firearms.
-This will never happen, in fifty years our war on drugs has not stemmed the flow. Make us all outlaws and guess what we will do, get worse, much worse. Not me; I am a pacifist and would never harm anyone (ignore giggling sounds) but others might.

“I think it’s absurd,” said Daniel Childress of Winona. “If you have a firearm, whether it be a shotgun or a pistol, every person in that household should be trained how to use it to protect themselves.”
-Preach it brother-preach it. I have never in my entire life read a single story where anyone facing an emergency situation was saved by an unarmed liberal.

On Jan. 6, U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois introduced federal legislation aimed at increasing license requirements and ownership restrictions for firearms.
-He is another in a long list of stupid democrats. Remember folks our next election is in 2010, we can send many incumbents packing.

House Resolution 45, also known as Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, is named for a Chicago high school student killed on a public bus in May 2007 when another young man boarded and started shooting, Rush said.

Holt used his body to shield a girl from the line of fire and was shot in the abdomen.

Rush’s legislation seeks to prohibit owning or selling a gun without a license issued by the U.S. attorney general. The bill also would make it illegal to keep a loaded firearm or an unloaded firearm and its ammunition where there are children younger than 18, according to the bill’s text.
-The first step to disarm families. By nine, I could shoot, clean and maintain a firearm. I have defended myself successfully in the past and plan to continue to do so. I do not buy weapons from dealers and own none according to any paperwork in anyone’s database. If it becomes illegal to buy and sell firearms, so what? Running red lights is illegal but it is still Florida’s favorite contact sport.

Sandra Bean-Hewitt organized this weekend’s gun show at Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center. Responsible gun-toting parents instruct kids at toddler age the dangers of firearms, she said. “If the criminals know we can’t have firearms with ammunition,” Ms. Bean-Hewitt said, “we’re sitting ducks.”
-A great place to start bitching about ammunition shortages. When you can find it, the prices are outrageous. At least we (not me as I own no weapons, ignore giggling sounds) have enough to last a short civil war.

HR 45, modeled after HR 2666 which died before any Congressional vote in 2007, will give the attorney general authority to collect, investigate and study gun sales, production and other manufacturing data.
“My son lost his life back in 1999 due to senseless gun violence, and my nephew sits in jail today, convicted of fatally shooting someone,” said Rush in 2007 after he filed HR 2666. “Blair’s Bill will implement a nationwide program of licensing all individuals who possess firearms and require all guns to be registered in a national gun registry.”
-Raise better children. Chances are black teenagers will continue to kill more black teens than all the diseases, accidents and natural disasters combined. Taking away weapons from everyone else will not save a single teen from stupidity. When the gun grabbers can prove that violence decreases after gun confiscation I will lighten up, until them, I am packing enough heat to raise the number of dead gang bangers significantly.

The act also would strengthen law enforcement’s ability to trace firearms used in crime, according to the bill’s text.
-Pure bullshit, I have yet to see a single criminal register a weapon.

Shreveport gun enthusiast Daniel Wallace said he keeps track of HR 45 and other gun control legislation almost daily.

Wallace said a similar bill is pushing its way through West Virginia’s Legislature, and he thinks gun control advocates will continue to push for state-level laws as a way of pressuring federal lawmakers to act on their behalf.
-No one is fooled by calls to register weapons; it is the first step toward confiscation. Confiscation is the first step toward anarchy. Do not be like me, buy a gun and enough ammunition to have plenty to share, trade and fight with. Be sure and obey all laws now, ya hear?
