Grow a Pair and Get Some Integrity

I really wish the democrats would grow a pair and just be honest about their feelings and intentions on the 2nd amendment. It’s called having integrity isn’t it, when you are honest about things. I know I am just acting plain crazy to expect politicians to be honest, especially the democrats.

What has me up in arms right now is the completely dis-honest and deceptive attempt to ban the M855 green tip ball ammo used in the AR-15 sporting rifle. I believe you can combine all previous administrations since America was formed and not match the level of lies and deception practiced by the obama administration.

The ATF, I am sure is acting on direct orders from the white house in pursuing the attempted ban on this ammo. They can’t get what they want through legislation, which is to take all of our guns away, or at least restrict us to weapons we cannot protect ourselves with from a tyrannical government. I have to wonder how many people the administration is paying just to look for back door methods to violate our rights, that is all this ban is. The ammo in question does not qualify as armor piercing ammo by law as described in the U.S. Code, 18 U.S. Code 921 (17) (a) –

(A) The term “ammunition” means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellent powder designed for use in any firearm.

(B) The term “armor piercing ammunition” means—

(i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or

(ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.

(C) The term “armor piercing ammunition” does not include shotgun shot required by Federal or State environmental or game regulations for hunting purposes, a frangible projectile designed for target shooting, a projectile which the Attorney General finds is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, or any other projectile or projectile core which the Attorney General finds is intended to be used for industrial purposes, including a charge used in an oil and gas well perforating device.

The fact that this ammunition does not meet the requirements by law to be considered armor piercing doesn’t seem to matter to the ATF or obama. When your intentions are to violate our rights, for your own anti American purposes, honesty and integrity don’t enter into the equation. But then where does any integrity enter into it with this administration?

Of course many democrats are urging the ATF to move forward with this illegal ban to “keep dangerous ammunition out of our neighborhoods”. Even law enforcement sources stated that there is no real danger to them from this ammo, which was the reason for the ban according to the ATF. That is because criminals don’t carry AR-15 rifles, and the AR platform pistols that are available on the market are to costly and large for the normal criminal element to purchase or conceal. Take a look and see:

• Bushmaster – AR pistol $1,228.98/23.5 to 26.75 inches long
• Rock River Arms – AR pistol $1,175.00/ 23.0 to 26.5 inches long
• Black Rain Ord – AR pistol $1,197.00/ 32.0 inches long

I only listed 3 here, but if you do some research you will see all of the AR platform pistols all fall into the same general price range and size range. Neither the price nor size is attractive to your average criminal, they can’t conceal them as they can a compact or even mid-frame handgun. Most of the guns recovered by police (used in crimes) are revolvers in.38 caliber and semi-auto handguns in calibers of .22, .32, .380 and .9mm most often. They are purchased on the street for $500.00 or less usually.

The ATF and obama’s decepticons in the administration are simply trying to cause a shortage in the supply and/or cause a spike in the cost of ammo for the AR-15 sporting rifle. They won’t admit their real purpose, but they fear this weapons platform because of it’s popularity with certain segments of the population that the administration does not trust. Truthfully this administration cares nothing about our constitutional rights and would like to totally dis-arm the populace if they could. Too many in our government, especially democrats would like to re-make our country into a police state, so they may have complete control based on a socialist system, not as a constitutional republic as we have now.

I suspect, as do others that the ATF and administration are not done with this yet. They will try an even larger ban most likely, all under the guise of safety for law enforcement. The DOJ has thrown law enforcement to the wolves multiple times, but now that they can use them for their own purpose they are suddenly concerned with their safety. obama and his band of liars and thieves only care about their own agenda and how to accomplish it.
