Nothing happened today. I can still own the same guns and magazines I could own this morning. There are no gun control bills pending in Congress.

Why must folks fight so hard to keep the panic going?

Relax, have a beer...

This! But, it's still early in the day for me and beer, so maybe later.

 

[Big guy in the sky]

So now that this panic has passed, can I tell all these people that want $3000 or my first born son for a S&W AR to go to hell? I really want to......

This! Or have a coke and a smile if your like.me and don't drink

You might want to reconsider drinking, it helps when you read CTD emails that have $130 aluminum mags for sale.

All of this has to pass the supreme court and most of it is unCONSTITUTIONAL or is already in effect and has been for long time.

Part of obamacare said that psych docs couldn't ask patients being treated for mental health reasons about firearms ownership. Apparently, the real witch hunts are about to begin.

My take on all of this mess is as follows:

1. President Obama's actions, via 23 executive orders, has changed nothing. We can still own/buy the same guns, can still own/buy the same "high capacity" mags, the "gun show" loophole remains, etc.

2. President Obama, knowing he cannot get the support needed from Congress to pass the weapons ban he wants, is still going to send it over anyway so he can say "I tried but they wouldn't do anything". He can propose all the legistation he wants, but he cannot get it out of committee or get it put up for a vote.

3. Time for the price of all P-mags, AR's, etc. to start falling.
