A Truly Powerful Day

Support National Ammo Day - think of it as Chinese-toy-free lead, though I realize much ammunition today has gotten away from using lead.

item link -- Second Amendment supporters should buy ammunition November 19th to support freedom, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

Monday, November 19th is National Ammo Day, described as a BUYcott of ammunition. The goal of National Ammo Day is to empty the ammunition from the shelves of your local gun store, sporting goods, or hardware store and put that ammunition in the hands of law-abiding citizens.

According to the National Ammo Day website, each law-abiding supporter of the right to keep and bear arms is encouraged to buy 100 rounds of their favorite ammunition. Supporters are exhorted to "Make your support of the Second Amendment known -- by voting with your dollars!"

"Gun stores, ranges, and ammunition manufacturers across the country are under constant attack by a barrage of federal, state, and local regulations, frivolous lawsuits, and protests," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. "If every gun owner bought 100 rounds of ammunition, that would put an estimated 7.5 billion rounds of ammunition into the hands of law-abiding gun owners dedicated to defending our constitutionally-protected individual right to keep and bear arms."

Mark A. Taff, CCRKBA Executive Director, went one step further and encouraged gun owners to not only buy 100 rounds of their favorite ammunition, but to fire those rounds on their local gun range. "I can't think of a better way to spend a Monday evening than putting some rounds down-range to improve our marksmanship skills. Hitting what you aim at is crucial to responsible armed self-defense."

Taff also stated that it was important to not only support your local firearms & ammunition dealers and ranges with money, but also with moral support. "The number of licensed gun dealers has plummeted, in part due to harassment by the BATFE, so it is important that firearms dealers know that gun owners appreciate the sacrifices they make and the abuse they endure to ensure that we have the practical ability to exercise our rights."

Wow. It's like the Corporate Sell-Out version of Christmas, except your money goes exclusively to Smith & Wesson.

March on, happy keyboard commandos. Just try not to shoot yourselves in the foot.

[Wahoo Willie Sez:]

a hundred rounds? With gas at over three bucks a gallon? If I'm going to spend six bucks getting to my local dealer, I'm buying at least a thousand rounds of 7.62x39. Da Lame-ah is right, just corporate whatever so I'll by Federal instead of S&W. Cuz he's the smartest little girl in the world I shall buy two boxes of .38 special for Da Lame-ah

I still get a laugh out of thinking of sad, confused, alcoholic head gun nut Chalrton Heston utterly out of his league with Michael Moore.

Damn those filthy apes!!!

[Wahoo Willie Sez:]

Yeah, basement boy, kinda sad seeing a senile old man wasting time with a dullard. I'd like to debate that fat lazy sack o' S***

Smith & Wesson makes ammo? Who knew?

[Wahoo Willie Sez:]

Oh yeah TK, in fact they make the FBI's .40 load. What's surprising is that lamo knew it.

I have all the ammo I need at the moment. Then again, I've been procrastinating on getting that new .223. Or maybe an AR-15 (CA legal, of course). This could be an excuse for a new gun AND new ammo! Awesome!

[templar knight]

blonde, you can never have too much ammo. And a new gun. Great. I bought a Rock River M-4 a few months ago, and have been very pleased. MOA accuracy, better than average magazines, and very little recoil. Of course, it is .223, which is not my preference for my MBR, but is good for women and younger people. I highly recommend it.

"you can never have too much ammo"

True :)

[Wahoo Willie Sez:]

"you can never have too much ammo"

True :)

But that's no excuse not to participate! I need Brenneke slugs

[seekeronos]

"--- you can never have too much ammo ---"

This is not only true, but is nearly axiomatic.

Heh. But only 100 rounds of ammo? I'll make it worth my while and make sure that well I'm stocked for the 30.06, AR-15, and plenty of cartridges for the ol' trusty Remington 1100. There be some deer needing some population controllin'.
