Ammunition Accountability

Hey, good news! (not)

You remember how Barack Obama said he wasn’t going to take our guns? Well, apparently his cronies are coming after our ammunition!

The “Ammunition Accountability Act” is currently being proposed in 18 states (including Missouri–thanks, Claire!). It will not only require that all new ammunition be encoded by laser-etching, it will require the destruction of all non-etched rounds–including privately-owned, re-loaded ammunition! It will also place a five cent tax on EVERY BULLET.

If this bill is being proposed in your state–and remember, this is being proposed in state legislatures, not the U. S. legislature–call upon your district representatives to vote it down quickly and decisively. It is not only a clear violation of the Second Amendment, but a terrible invasion of privacy.

From a reply I made on Hotair.com…

The original post is here.

Is anyone else worried that Obama’s Kool-Aid will now be served by Jim Jones?

I was actually going to agree with Ed on this one, and give Obama some credit–but after further thought, I realized that I would be giving Obama credit for doing nothing.

lodge–you need to check your history. The U. S. won a military victory in Viet Nam–and then isolationist liberals forced a withdrawal before the new government was stabilized, resulting in the slaughter of 3,000,000 people. As for Iraq, the SOFA is finalized and we’ve handed over the Green Zone. What more do you want?

Finally, I think this situation in Israel would be a lot clearer if people stopped referring to the Muslim population as “Palestinians.” There’s no such thing. “Palestinian” was made up in 1967 to drum up international sympathy by portraying these people as being ethnically attached to the area called “Palestine” (which is actually a reference to “Falastein,” Greek-speaking pirates who raided the area centuries ago). These people are Jordanians; they’re just so crazy and brain-washed that even Jordan doesn’t want them back.

Jim Jones. Kool-Aid. What can go wrong?

Private Valentine

I just saw a preview for what appears to be a straight-to-DVD Jessica Simpson movie, Private Valentine: Blonde and Dangerous. I’m not surprised that Hollywood didn’t put this in the cinema, since it seems to involve a largely sympathetic portrayal of the U. S. military. The closest thing that I have to a complaint is that Simpson’s character’s “Army” training is mainly Marine Corps training–but I’m more than willing to overlook that faux pas.

I’m looking forward to this release–February ’09!–and, if I’m correct in my assessment of the picture, kudos to Ms. Simpson for having the courage to make it!
