Obama’s Moves To Rid U.S. Of Guns. How Far Can You Be Pushed?

On Friday last week, I alerted you to the fact that the federal government, under the direction (or at least responsibility of Barack Obama) ordered the mutilation of all military spent brass, used by many for reloading of ammunition. I received an assortment of comments and emails regarding the announcement. Some only focused on the recycling implications of this move while I asked the question if this was a back door move to further reduce the supply of ammunition to this country and incrementally rid the country of guns.

Today, in an article in Shooting Wire by Jim Shepherd, we find that this move might have moved Mr. Shepherd to begin having second thoughts on the intent of this administration.

Now, many observers – and not just those on the pro-gun side of the discussion – believe the country is hurtling toward a confrontation.

The catalyst might be any one of several flashpoint issues, but both groups seem to believe a reckoning is unavoidable.

And that coming from a man who in the past admits that he’s passed off most of the chatter about incrementalism as “Internet hysteria”. Forget that he seems to discredit the passionate work of many to keep the issue of gun rights fresh in all our minds, which tends to keep us all on top of issues like the announcement of the mutilation of military brass. Us “hysterical” Internetters seemed to get the story out a few days sooner than some……ahem.

Evidently this announcement seems to be a turning point for Jim Shepherd.

Today, however, a report that has nothing to do with rhetoric, hyperbole or rumor.

A very disturbing report that points to a very real assault on ammunition supplies.

The Department of Defense has issued a directive that bans the sale of military brass to ammunition re-manufacturers.

Without that brass, a very large dent is put into civilian ammunition supplies.

Whatever it takes I guess to awaken more to what many of us have been talking about and warning others of. Now that “reality” has set in, all this hysteria, rumor and hyperbole has a bit more meaning.

People are waking up more and more each day. There’s always been talk of “some day” and “they’ll never get my guns!”, etc. That’s always been talk. Are we now actually moving closer to testing those statements?

Rush is the key word for the Obama administration. Rush bills and executive orders through before anyone has a chance to read and discover what’s really behind these moves. The Internet provides a means for information to travel at warp speed. You can cast off that information and label it as you see fit, but if you do a little shopping around of your own, you’ll learn which sites provide reliable information based on fact not rumor, hyperbole or the “hysteria” Shepherd talks of.

This requires some work on your part but if you care you’ll do it. Shepherd even calls these “uncertain times”. Let’s move beyond that and get active, better educated and up to date on what’s going on and then maybe we can quiet these uncertain times and return a little bit of sense and stability before Obama drives us into rebellion and worse.
