No Longer Just Paranoia

[PegLeg45]

I ain't believing until it is verified by Shepard or Bane, etc.

Me either.

You know what shocked me about all this... people were flibing out of a email...

What biz ( the DOD in this case is a private company, not the dept of defence) would send just a email when its a mater of being in biz or not?  how many times must I tell this to people, ALWAY send it signed receipt, that way you can prove they got it.( hand delvery works too, but is normally not practical)  I have yet to see a single hard copy letter or hell even a fax.

You won't either. I think BHO's admin was testing the waters to see how many people are paying attention. They don't use 'official' documents for that.

[THE CORONER]

I wrote thank you letters to both Senators who had this reversed.

Confirmed!

The order has been rescended.

We won this one.  After the military logistics command notified the ammo makers who purchased once-fired brass from the military that the brass must be shredded, the ammo industry and gun owners got busy.  The DoD and congressmen were deluged with complaints and the shredding requirement has been rescinded.   http://www.georgia-arms.com/


To all who got involved in this thing early, way to go!  It proves that the gun rights movement is very much alive and well.  Don't become complacent though, we may have won this one, but you can bet they will try another angle. 

Now, if we can just get gun owners to vote with equal enthusiasim.....

Truth Squad Victory!!
DOD rescinds its ban on selling brass.

"When they feel the heat, they see the light."
Congratulations to the most active, the most effective, and the fastest-moving gun rights group in the country -- the Gun Talk Truth Squad. Only 48 hours after I broke the news to the nation's gun owners about a stealth program to drive up ammo prices, you crushed this effort by the new administration.

Last Sunday (was it only three days ago?) on my radio show, I had as guests Gordon Hutchinson (author of "The Great New Orleans Gun Grab") and Larry Haynie, owner of Georgia Arms. They told the story about the U.S. Department of Defense changing its policy, and how ammo remanufacturers (reloaders) such as Georgia Arms would no longer be able to buy millions of rounds of fired brass from the government unless they agreed to shred the brass.

Of course, that would make it useless for reloading. This would mean millions of rounds a month would be taken off the market, driving the price of ammunition even higher than it now is. Also, Larry told us he would have to fire half of his 60 employees.

Gordon alerted me, and within hours we put it on Gun Talk radio, live all over the country. You got angry, and being the Truth Squad -- a follower of the "no shrug" doctrine -- you acted.

Emails, faxes, and calls went to the offices of every Senator and Representative on The Hill. Senators Tester and Baucus of Montana (both Democrats) contacted the Department of Defense on Tuesday, and within an hour, they had a reply that this new, ill-considered, policy had been rescinded. Only 48 hours after I broke the news to the nation's gun owners, you responded, and then THEY responded.

This, my friends, is what the Truth Squad is all about. It's about generating a massive, suffocating, instant flood of rational and reasonable demands that our constitutional right to keep and bear arms not be infringed. What you did was create a "what the heck is going on?" response on Capitol Hill.

What's next? A constant stream of "we are watching you" communications which tells all elected officials that we will not stand by and allow them to trade away any of our rights. They all need to see that an attack on gun rights is the third rail of politics, and we will do all we can to send them home to find other work if they support any such effort.

Stay tuned. As always, you'll hear about it first on Gun Talk Radio. No other outlet covers the entire country (regular radio stations, XM and Sirius satellite, and the podcasts) with the latest news on firearms and gun rights.

There WILL be more assaults on our rights. Many of them will come through agencies, where no recorded vote is necessary. Never make the mistake of thinking that we have won and can now relax. By their actions we know that they really ARE out to get us.

If you hear of anything like this, by all means, let me know so we can jump on it.

Great job, Truth Squad!!
