Getting back On Topic… I think you’re missing the point.
My two cents worth here is that articles such as the one on CNN and various news outlets, and the Administration’s talking points, are merely flak. By that I mean they’re meant to distract. They act as a lightening rod to distract everyone’s attention about the issue. On the one hand, it gets gun owners up in arms about an AWB, and non-gun owners are softened up to the idea there is a desperate need for more gun laws. Basically, it’s propaganda in its finest form and use.
Consider a couple of points:
1.) When the present Administration came in, there were 50-70 Czars appointed to help administrate. A lot of these appointments were of people who are politically out on the flat end of the bell curve. By making them “Czars” they don’t have to go through any Senate confirmation hearings or scrutiny. These people wield a great deal of power inside and outside the normal channels of government. That’s how it’s done in Chicago. Who would’ve guessed?
2.) The President was over heard making the comment to Mrs. Brady that they are working on the gun issue “under the radar”. To use a technical term, it’s called “Sub Rosa”. That means “under the table”, “outside of official channels” or “actions taken in secrecy”.
3.) Ask yourself, “How has the current Administration dealt with other issues on their agenda? Not through passing laws through the House and Senate, (Healthcare Bill is a glaring exception; it took a long time and is going to the Supreme Court) but by fiat, declaration.
Shell Oil is a good example of using regulatory management to obtain a desired out come. No drilling in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, or the east and west coast, even though drilling permits have been issued and gas is headed for five bucks a gallon. It’s the Eco-Nazis and the EPA preventing the drilling
How about Boeing wanting to move part of their production to N. Carolina? They would prefer not to end up in the same shape as GM. But, there’s the NLRB and the unions going to court to stop them.
You got what in those bullets? LEAD? What kind of chemicals are in those primers? You’re going to put what into the air? And, at how many decibels? We don’t need no stink’en laws, we got REGULATIONS about that! And we may have to regulate and tax the interstate shipment of those very dangerous items.
So, basically this Administration can use regulatory abuse to impede, harass, civilian gun owners and circumvent the Second Amendment. That’s one scenario and there are numerous others. For instance, they could drive up the price of all of the components used in making ammunition, pricing them out of reach of the average shooter. Or they could declare brass, lead, powder and primers of national strategic importance and not to be used frivolously by civilians.
So, I think that’s how it’s going to go since it would be very difficult to get a bill through Congress with the attendant lawsuits and so forth.
So, it’s up to us to stay vigilant and watch what they’re doing, not what they’re saying. They will lie to you. By the way, what are they calling that war in Libya? Humanitarian Intervention, or something, isn’t it?
