It’s hardly ever just one big thing that makes your blood boil, of course—it’s always lots of little ones.
In my case, it was these, in no specific order:
Democrat Presidential Candidate Al Gore debating ditto Bill Bradley in Campaign 2000, boasting about how he would tax the sale of guns and ammunition, especially the latter, until they became too expensive.
Former U.S. Sen. Daniel Moynihan (HCI-NY) making the offhand remark about a “10,000% tax” on guns and ammunition.
U.N. SecGen Kofi Annan blathering on ceaselessly about “small-arms trafficking”
Articles from witless lefty journalists, like this one
some idiot politician in northern California suggesting a 5-cent sales tax be levied per round, to “offset medical costs associated with gun violence”
And I just got sick and tired of this nonsense, and wanted to strike back at these statist jerks, and say, “Here! This is the depth of popular resentment against that tripe you’re talking!”
But what to do? What gesture could we gun owners in particular, and Second Amendment supporters in general, make that would smack these disgusting gun-controllers in the nose?
As usual, Tech Support came up with a fine idea.
What if, on just one day of the year, every gun owner in the United States went out and bought a hundred rounds of ammunition?
Given that there are as many as seventy-five million gun owners in the United States, the net result would be that 7.5 billion rounds of ammunition would go into public circulation, in one day.
Now not every gun owner is going to do this. Heck, of the 75 million gun owners, only about 6% (4 million-odd) belong to a Second Amendment-supporting organization like Gun Owners of America, the Second Amendment Sisters, RKBA, and of course the NRA. Not everyone is going to get the word, either, especially as you will hear not a peep about this in the established gun media, let alone in the so-called “mainstream” media.
But what if just 15% of all gun owners bought themselves a hundred rounds of ammo on the same day? That would be over a billion rounds of ammunition going into circulation—and that’s what I’m aiming for.
Heck, gun owners have to buy ammo all the time—we’re just asking that they all buy it on the same day.
Most importantly, however, is what a billion rounds of ammo does for gun ownership in the United States: It sends a message to the local and international gun-grabbers that gun owners have considerable muscle.
If the country is awash in ammunition, it makes the prospect of punitive sales taxes a moot issue—no point in hoping that people will run out of ammunition when everyone has a huge supply of it.
So I’m making a personal appeal to all gun owners and Second Amendment supporters in the United States:
Please buy 100 rounds of your favorite ammunition on week of November 11-19, 2006.
Why this week? Well, the best thing about National Ammo Day/Week is that it’s just an ordinary week, a week before Thanksgiving week. There’s no conflict with any holiday or other event—it’s just an ordinary time of the year.
Actually, there’s one thing special about this week: November 19th is my birthday.
And the very best birthday present I can think of would be a poke in the eye for all gun-grabbers, gun-fearing wussies and their media lickspittles. Just for one week, I’d like millions of ordinary, law-abiding people to stand up and make a defiant, and legal, gesture at the face of authority.
This is not being sponsored by anyone, and has no official anything. It’s just plain old popular defiance—and it’s perfectly legal, and requires no one to do anything out of the ordinary.
One hundred rounds. More if you can afford it.
November 11-19, 2006.
National Ammo Day/Week.
One billion rounds of ammunition into private hands, in one week.
Spread the word, tell everyone you know, post the downloadable artwork (see below) up on bulletin boards, send emails, alert your friends and family, tell your favorite gun store. You might even want the NRA and your favorite gun organization to know about it.
Here’s the website to give you all the details and the downloadable art: National Ammo Day.
