Pissed off with guns and booze

[ImaGuyGeek]

Okay, first this is just an entertaining observation.

In the last 2 months the following has happened.
a) Taxes have gone up = pissed off
b) Gun sales have soard as well as ammo = well armed
c) Texas is repealing the blue law i.e. opening liquor stores on Sundays

So, my observations are this.

We now have a populace that is getting Pissed Off, Arming themselves and can more easily get booze. So a bunch of drunken, pissed off people packing.

Am I the only one that sees the irony here?

Smokes have gone up really high too.

Seems to me that while the NWO might be taking over the world they aint got jack on Texas?

Beer sales are down.

[Zulaab]

What is going to happen if cigarette sales go down ?
This increase was specifically to support the 3.5 mil uninsured children in low income families in the US.

Cash business. Thats what I'm exploring. Cash = Non-reportable = NEVER happened.

[eklikewhoa]

I thought the Blue Laws also dealt with Car Dealers supposed to be closed on Sundays or something like that... I thought having liquor stores closed on Sunday was a good thing gave them a chance to have a day off. Always thought it was weird you could buy beer on Sunday, but not the hard stuff.

I herd from an owner of a sporting goods store, that many of the manufacturers are holding back on production too, becuase they may have to re-tool for the new types of powders and what not to be used in ammo.

I am angry but I do not have a gun nor plan too but Sonja is trying to get her CHL. And we dont drink that much some good vino every once in a while but wont change.

[Zulaab]

Regards to the blue law and car dealerships, this has to do with regards to the city of Houston which has / had a law in place that said a dealership can only be open for no more than 6 days in a row. I dont believe this is in effect today, but I could be wrong.

[jeebus]

Jesper, that post makes way too much sense.

[Delock]

Actually his post does not make 100% sense.


The bullets..I rather watch paint dry...but this is for those who like to build their own bullets..

"Wednesday, March 18, 2009


Yesterday morning, the Department of Defense informed NRA-ILA that fired military small arms cartridge cases are once again eligible for sale, following a temporary suspension in such sales instituted last week. NRA-ILA began discussions with DoD shortly after the suspension took effect, and we were assured from the beginning that efforts were underway to resolve the issue favorably.

Yesterday afternoon, DoD additionally confirmed the lifting of the suspension to pro-Second Amendment United States Senators Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.), who sent the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) a joint letter vigorously opposing the suspension, on the grounds that it had "an impact on small businesses who sell reloaded ammunition utilizing these fired casings, and upon individual gun owners who purchase spent military brass at considerable cost savings for their personal use."

Everyone who would have been impacted by the suspension, had it become permanent, owes thanks to Senator Baucus for his leadership on this issue, as well as to Sen. Tester and U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.), who also weighed in strongly on behalf of gun owners and the suppliers from whom they obtain ammunition reloaded with surplus military brass.

In announcing that the suspension has been lifted, DoD also made clear that no cartridge cases that, in the absence of the suspension, would have been sold for reloading purposes were destroyed while the suspension was in effect. Such cases were instead protected by DoD during the suspension, and are again eligible for sale. With ammunition currently in short supply, that was welcome news, to be sure.

DLA also put to rest various theories and rumors that were circulated on the internet, concerning the reason for the suspension. As DLA explained to Senators Baucus and Tester, and to NRA-ILA, DoD officials responsible for the demilitarization of military property temporarily halted the release of the cartridge cases last week, pending review of a policy change issued last year by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, which, in the interest of national security, halted the sale of items within a broad category of government property including, but not limited to, surplus small arms cartridge cases.

To make cartridge cases eligible for sale once again, DoD demilitarization officials verified that the cases could be appropriately placed in a category of government property allowing for their release for use within the United States, and then executed the recategorization. Whereas during the brief suspension, fired cartridge cases would have been releaseable only if the purchaser crushed or smelted them, now the cases may be sold as before, intact and reloadable.

DoD also assured NRA-ILA that companies previously authorized to purchase cartridge cases under Trade Security Controls need no further vetting at this time, and are eligible to resume purchasing cases under the policy adopted yesterday.

In sum, a problem that could have had serious repercussions for the remanufactured ammunition industry and the countless gun owners who support it, appears to have been resolved quickly."

Remanufactured ammunition is assembled using processed once fired brass and quality name-brand jacketed bullets or hard cast lead bullets.

So unless you shooting a gun everyday to live. Whats wrong with buying new bullets and why is this even a discussion?
