New NYS gun legislation????????

[DJ 17]

Read online this morning that they are in fact going to "suspend indefinitely" the 7 round magazine restriction.  I guess it was included as an"ammendment" of some sort in the budget.  Like was said above, It's not the best, but it's a start!

More bad news: Ammo manufacturers are raising their prices in April 60% on most populars calibers. They are saying that materials are not readily availablable

[Sk8man]

The reason for unavailability may be that the rumor that George Sorros (multi billionaire socialist liberal) has bought up the companies that provide the raw materials for ammo is true.

The feds, in particular, Fienstien, are building government contracts to buy ammunition (supposed homeland security, military etc.) from the manufacturers and basically keeping them too busy to produce commercial ammunition for retail. The object is to create a scarcity of ammo at your retailers and panic the consumer into believing that there will be rare occasions that the particular caliber they are looking for will be on the shelf, and in turn pay MORE for it when it ACTUALLY appears in just two boxes on the shelf.. MAXIMUM,  because the store restricts it per person, and it is that rare opportunity....price goes up...taxes get applied at a higher rate...whollla!..Feds get rich and we get screwed again. There is also volatile metal pricing on the markets right now and that will cause a swing in prices for brass cartridges especially. Government contracts always come first before commercial, I experienced the same problem with electronics service from Raytheon during the Iraq war. I had a LORAN by Raytheon and could not get service due to government contracts taking precedence for guidance control on Patriot missiles.

Well isn't that just great....Cuomo has investigators running around wanting to buy sporting rifles inside NYS just to make an example of someone who is not a criminal. Nice bait and trap scheme on our taxes that still doesn't prove a thing about the owner of the firearms other than the sale wasn't done on the other side of state lines at a arms dealer for a nics check under the new law sale requirements.

The public should also have investigators to track that sale to see where it goes from there after Cuomos goons get them. Back to NY or maybe sold to the feds to end up in another illegal gun running scheme in Mexico...oh but when the government does it.."It's not illegal"..

Anyone see the articles about ammo manufacturers?  Looks like any ammo for civilians will be next to impossible to come by until they fulfill the gov't orders.

Lead Sponsor of Federal High Capacity Ban Was Unaware Magazines Could Be Reloaded???

My hunch is that the governments new approach to the gun control issue is to PERMANENTLY dry up the ammunition availability and the current "shortage" of ammunition that has been allegedly CREATED by our government is the tip if the iceberg and has little to do with supplying the military or Homeland Security the fact is that they wish to make sure that they are the only ones with sufficient ammo when the crap hits the fan. The ammo manufacturers won't be hurt because they will be basically "subsidized" by the government to continue making ammo for just them....and our tax dollars will be supporting this approach. It certainly seems interesting that the timing of this supposed "shortage" is at a time that troops are being pulled out of most combat areas and replenishment of spent ammo is not at the heart of it either because they do that to a large degree as they go along in time. Another thought is that they may be preparing for something with North Korea and that should be as scarey as the former issue because it brings China into the picture just as it did last time (Korean War.....which is officially still on-going).

This is the Best explanation of what is going on I have heard yet.

 

According to the left wing politicians we have in politicians. We're not supposed to judge all Muslims by the acts of a few crazies.

 

But the acts of a few American crazies is enough to judge all Americans who own guns.
