  • Weird. It seems really weird, the Obamao feds going berserk,

    and verbally and phsically looking for fights with the American people.

    Reid is also on the warpath....

  • Oh so should groups like the border patrol, secret service, the coast guard, and even TSA not have ammo?

  • What's the insinuation here? Do people think that someone blew up the shotgun shell factory to artificially inflate prices before the government places an order? I don't know - did shotgun shell prices go up after this?

    They are insinuating that they are bad at math and thus think 25 million shotgun shells sounds scary.

    There are so many different organizations that need training ammo over the course of a year that 25 million doesn't sound that bad at all. These nimrods just want to think that somehow the factory explosion is related to the government ordering ammo.

    Obama himself planted explosives in the factor and put in the order for ammo minutes afterwards. He nearly got himself caught. You can't goose step very fast.

    Also since the DHS has groups that arguably shouldn't be buying ammo such as FEMA and immigrations services, sites like this usually want people to believe that dems are secretly stock piling weapons for something. But DHS has many departments that require ammo.

  • I feel like this is exactly how the last thread Cal made like this went.

  • It isn't just 25 million. It's 25 million MORE. The point is, the order came right after the

    explosion.

    Meaning, holder and obaMao and co want to drive the price up on ammo.

    And, who here thinks that using 25 million shotgun shells up in one year, or two,

    wouldn't be insane?

    "When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses not zebras".

  • Well damn, if those things were said almost 250 years ago I can't imagine anything has changed since then

  • Yes, things change.

    Engineers don't have to be smart enough to use a slide rule anymore....

    But freedom doesn't. And human beings' desire to be free doesn't.

  • Oh are you not free? I must have missed that. I missed the part where any form of gun reform and/or regulation takes away your freedom.

    But hell, if you want to take quotes from 250 years ago and apply them directly to today, be my guest. It totally solidifies your argument. Totally. I'm sure all of your Te Party real american patriots get a big boner out of it.

    Also, I would bet on average, engineers coming out of school today know more than they did 20, 30 years ago. So keep your slide rule, I'll take MATLAB.

  • It's history.

    Disarming populations became a precursor to oppression.

    Do you really think those quotes are from 250 years ago? What?

    A survivor of the Cuban communist regime, and a survivor of

    the nazi takeover of Germany?

    Really. Sounds like you are really poor at math. "idiot savant" doesn't apply

    to you...

    except the first word. And, I never had a slide rule, didn't like advanced math, etc.

    But I do know that WWII wasn't 250 years ago. 😁

  • Yes, your most recent quote is only 79 years old, congrats.

    If you think these quotes completely win the argument for you... then damn. You're something special....

  • Now that you had someone help you with your math, I don't think those quotes completely do anything.

    But they are cause for consideration of where we are going as a country under this corrupt, marxist regime.

    And, as most folks are aware, marxism is a just step that leads to COMMUNISM....

    Then you should love Marxism since you seem to believe capitalism is the greatest thing of all time

    Immigrations comes under Customs and border protection and they are armed.
