NRA and Some of Its Board Members Have Direct Financial Interests in Stopping Ban on High-Capacity Ammunition Magazines, says VPC

This just turns my stomach. Now Larry Potterfield is the key villain in distributing "hiigh capacity" magazines.
The VPC has reached new lows. >:(

Ronnie Barrett is best known for the invention and civilian marketing of the 50 caliber sniper rifle: a military weapon used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan that can penetrate armor-plating from a mile away and down airliners on take-off and landing, but under federal law is sold with no greater restrictions than a standard hunting rifle. I'd like to see that trick. How do you shoot down an airplane that's landing? If you miss it's still coming down.

VPC, like all socialist special interest groups has no choice but to engage in Orwellian "Newspeak" since their ideas have consistently failed where ever they have been applied.

JUST LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!
Actually, there is more restriction on hunting rifles than there should be...
-
To make Larry Potterfield into Mr. Potter is quite the stretch. I don't think you could find a nicer guy anywhere.
And FWIW, VPC scare tactics do more to sell STANDARD CAPACITY magazines than ALL the pro-gun advertising combined. They should be the gun salesmen of the year this year.

If I were an AR manufacturer I would have sent BO a thank you card.

Actually there is more restriction!
It falls under the so called assault weapon classification and is treated as a hand gun in many areas.
We have far too many restrictions on the firearm industry, and we MUST expand the fight to disband the anti's grip on our freedoms!

Logic is not there strong suit. Just on the headline. Let me think. If I were selling magazines, would I rather sell FOUR 5 rounders or one 20 rounder. Hmmmm. Seems a magazine ban might mean MORE magazine sales, not less.
Haven't read the whole article yet, but had that thought just from the headline.

Hi,
How about all of us sending an e-mail to Larry Potterfield in the form of support and thanks for what he does for the average person. When the time comes to buy some product - think of Midway USA first and price last ?
I have no financial attachments to Midway - but the series "Cowboys" is sponsored by Midway ( when it comes back in 2012 ).
Your comments ?

The First American Revolution was started with privately owned artillery pieces.
At least once a week, and I'm sure the average is two or more times a week through a normal year I debate the Second Amendment with people and a few idiots* about what the founding fathers envisioned when they penned and ratified the Second Amendment. My argument is that #1 it was mostly private firearms and artillery that were used; #2. It was state of the art and high tech for the era (rifled long guns); and #3. They did not envision a standing army. In fact there was more than one that thought a standing militia would be harmful to the republic.
* An idiot is someone who will not listen. Even if they don't change their mind they need to at least listen and respond accordingly unless they want to be labeled an idiot!

I just sent the following e-mail
Since you are being vilified by the VPC :

I thought it would be nice to let you know that real American's appreciate all that you do for the shooting sports in particular, and the gun culture in general.
Thank you.

I DO have a complaint about Midway and magazines: THEY ARE SOLD OUT!!!! :-[
I got the last two PMAG's in stock. There were at least ten when I started shopping but by the time I had the cart full, there were only two left.
-
Goes to show when your arguments are that weak how low you have to go to get peoples attention. Their (VPC) arguments
are houses of cards built on foundations of lies.
-
Also today, the Violence Policy Center released a report, "Accessories to Murder," which shows the variety of high-capacity magazines the gun industry currently markets to its shrinking customer base
Did anyone else catch that? That is not only misinformation, it is an outright lie. Even the mainstream media talks about the record number of people buying firearms. Who do they think they are fooling?

The only ones they CAN fool......the kool-aid drinking sheeple.

What most of these anti's are far too stupid to understand is the more they talk of banning these magazines, along with the weapons that take them, the more of them that will sell! Personally, I hope they keep up the good work! Just like Hussein, their very disdain for guns, magazines, and the ammunition they take is what keeps them selling in record numbers. Imagine how many 33 round Glock magazines are now in the hands of shooters and gun owners who otherwise never would have bought them if wasn't for what happened in Tuscon? Bill T.

Oh....I thought this was the thread where we get to villify Mr. Potterfield......'cause I was going to complain about his distribution of all those high-capacity catalogs he sends out....those things are so heavy that you could kill a small puppy if you dropped one on it....plus all those high-powered words that he uses.....some of those multi-syllabic words will hurt the feelings of a publically-educated inner-city youth who can't speak English....and I'll bet the Potterfields use bacon grease in their printing ink, too...'cause Midway USA just has it in for the Muslims and the vegans....
How does that sound?.....could I get a job with the MSM with that kind of resume'?.......

Hi;
Sorry But you will have to egimicate and graduatate from the more finer forms of life. We the People do not care for this tone of anti - un American reteric. Too many have died and suffer in obscurity to allow this Great Nation to go down.

Hey Dipisc, You're a journalism Professor aren't you.

I just caught a commentary by the new guy, Lawrence Mcdonnalll?, I'm guessing at the name, on his new show "The Last Word" on MSNBC. He's the one who took over for Olberman.
He called on the president and congress to take action on the "Merchants of Death" that own companies that sell high capacity mags and also have members that sit on the NRA board of directors to advance their agendas.
He also challenged the NRA to come up with one instance when a high capacity magazine ever saved someons life when attacked by a criminal.
Well guys, got any instances? I think we should bombard them with some if we can, not that they care anyway.

He can ram his "challenge" straight up his anti gun ass! IT IS MY RIGHT TO OWN, BUY, AND HAVE HI-CAP MAGAZINES! I don't have to show this total asshat a damn thing! Who the hell does this clown think he is, that I have to produce anything to justify LEGALLY owning what he doesn't want? Screw him, and the horse he rode in on! Bill T.

Do not let the grabbers set the agenda. This is not about hi-cap mags, this is about the gummint trying to tell you what you "need" and the libtards that support that action.

Once again this is a time when we can't get sucked into arguing specific items first. These are the times and instances when every response starts with the Second Amendment, the intentions and meanings of the founding fathers and how item "A" fulfills that purpose.
I have quit just quoting the Second Amendment. I read two sources that explained that in Old English (language of the 18th century) regulated was defined as functioning, and that militia is any fighting force. Today I will phrase that sentence as "they intended us to be able to form a well functioning fighting force."
For you Ted haters I ask you to turn the speaker volume down before I say this: Listen to Ted Nugent when he debates. Nearly every speech, comment or reply starts with the actual Second Amendment, a paraphrase of it or a portion of the Amendment. We need to go back to that one simple statement for every argument concerning firearms ownership and use.
-
Yes, we need to not let the anti-'s set the agenda by picking apart the 2nd amendment one item at a time. "Need" does not enter into the picture.
Back over to Larry, I sent an email thanking him for his support of gun rights. I got a nice "thank you" back today.
-
i'm sure there are many many cases where a leo was saved, but thats just playing into thier hands. I'm also sure there are plenty of times with SHTF where it did, but once again, that places right into thier hands.
What would be great is to find some on in a state like CA that has limited mag capacity and showed how the lack of capacity cost them thier life. I'm sure if you look you will find one, just hopefully its not a gang banger.

I have emailed thanks and heads up on issues to him in the past and have always received very nice emails back. I plan a thank you email on this as well, but I am going to include an order. I started making a list last evening, and will edit it before I leave town this week.
Midway USA isn't the only good company out there, but the Potterfields have done things well over the years and they are returning their success to the people that support them. I would love to see cheaper prices, but I like the support to all the organizations better. And I would not do as well sending to them if I did not have the option to do it through my purchase.

This is typical of the socialist left on all subjects. They are unable to attack the facts because their own policies have a consistant history of disastrous failure, whether economics, or guns.
So instead they attack the people presenting the honest facts, like Beck, Palin, or Larry Potterfield.

Got a personal reply today also.
