Tony Ingram Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Our great governor here in California just signed a bill to limit the amount of ammunition a person can purchase to 50 rounds per month. If you decide to take your kids out target shooting with say a .22 that means you'd better stock up for several months or you'll be driving back home pretty quick. The bill was never put out to the public only until it was signed by the "Terminator". This is pretty discouraging for us Californians who have a small crime issue to say the least. As a member of law enforcement I have a hard time believing that the criminals are going into to hunting stores, purchasing weapons and waiting the mandatory two weeks to receive them. Same with the ammunition, I don 't think too many of them are helping out our local business owner by buying the ammunition from the stores either. There are plenty of thugs selling this stuff out of the trunks of their cars to these gang bangers and the only people being hamstringed by this bill is the every day joe trying to protect his property and family. As a California native I know alot of people think we are a bunch of liberals but it's quite the opposite. There are alot of avid hunters that live here and alot of registered gun owners. Don't think that this kind of "big brother" handcuffing won't soon make it's way into your state. Gun owners need to band together and voice their opposition to this kind of stuff. There's already talk about limiting the amount of guns you can own here in the state so I wouldn't be surprised to see that in the near future. Like my dad always told me, the only way they're taking my gun from me is by prying it from my cold, dead hand!

I'm glad to hear that even LEO's see the true side of this issue...Law makers need to listen to the voters and not go out making up laws just to suit themselves or their personal agendas!My guns have killed less people than Ted Kennedy's car!

I've been waiting for this to take place in this country for quite some time. It will be where we cannot vote on the 2nd Amendment, for the government will stop the ammo production so you'll not get ammo or powder or brass for loading equipment to load your own shells. Now, doesn't that make you proud to be an American? mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11117-nothin-to-do-with-trucks-but-might-be-sign-of-the-future/#findComment-42167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was supposed to unload Wednesday, but we didn't get unloaded until Thursday. Then I loaded coiled wire in Pueblo going to Rome, Ga. so I didn't get home over the weekend.
