FW: Obama will NOT reinstitute assault weapons ban

[dc dalton]

I bet ya a beer (it better be a good beer, none of that pansy assed Coors Lite!) that an increase on ammo tax happens by the time the 2010 budget passes.

We have already witnessed a massive increase in taxes on "sins" to support the SCHIP program. before long we are going to need to pay for additional prisons, inner city violence enforcement and other "social" programs that are aimed at gangs and rebuilding the projects. The money is going to have to come from somewhere and I'm thinking ammunition is going to be squarely in the cross hairs.

** I don't think the increase in taxes will come anywhere near touching the increase we have caused by ourselves, but it will happen

You got a bet!

The way the government operates, the taxes from ammo will be earmarked to fund some sort of urban gun violence initiative.

You got a bet!

Can I get in on that action, too?

If so, I'm in!

The AWB is another of the holy grails of the left. You can bet your sweet arse they will go for the full monty before O is out of D.C.

You on the other hand can NOT play

But he wants congress to ratify CIFTA ir known to us as the Inter-American Arms Treaty.

The treaty bans "illicit" manufacture of firearms.

the manufacture or assembly of firearms, ammunition, explosives, and other related materials:

a. from components or parts illicitly trafficked; or

b. without a license from a competent governmental authority of the State Party where the manufacture or assembly takes place; or

c. without marking the firearms that require marking at the time of manufacturing.

So, this would imply that you would need a government license to assemble a firearm (ever build an AR?)

It would regulate carriage of weapons...

1. States Parties shall exchange among themselves, in conformity with their respective domestic laws and applicable treaties, relevant information on matters such as:

a. authorized producers, dealers, importers, exporters, and, whenever possible, carriers of firearms, ammunition, explosives, and other related materials;

Wouldn't it be great if the names of LTCF holders were shared with Mexico, or Argentina? How fast would that list get sold to a reporter and published in the local or national press?

This is a bad treaty and we should all be contacting our reps to oppose the treaty.

Hey, how bout me. I'd love to have a beer with ya all---even if i had to buy--actually, i hope i do need to buy.

I think O will add a tax to ammo and guns. It will be just like he did for smokers.

Anymore, ammo and guns is the big seller---they got to get their hands into that. Hell, how else are they going to pay for all their spending.

So, can i play too?
