From The Old Email Bag: Obama Is After Your Guns!

But, remember folks, snopes.com is your friend. But I wonder if everyone is still buying ammo like there's no tomorrow?

Only the stupid people are.

The smart people already have plenty of ammo stockpiled.

Rush and Hannity and Beck told us to do it.

Yes they are, was in Academy in South Austin last week and shelves were very low.

I've never seen anything like it. We get a case of 9MM, gone that day. Likewise .380,.45,.40s&w,.223, etc. Crazy probably is the word for it.

Hear, hear, Jarhead. A Lubbock radio station now runs a daily "Ammo Availability Report."

Just as bad as this one is that nasty internet rumor about how the Obama administration wants citizens to report "fishy" blogs and e-mails that oppose the Obama healthcare plan to the White House. Oh, wait. (I forget...was Pol Pot on the ballot last November?)

The answer is yes.

People are still buying it as fast as they can. I have been to numerous stores in and around D/FW and they all say it's selling faster than they can stock it.

The Shiates is about to hit the fan.

Along with ammo, we are buying swastikas to sew on our Brooks Bros. suits to wear at the astroturf grass roots town hall meetings that we are told to attend and become an unruly mob. We are robots and are instructed to destroy our President. Can't blog now, am receiving more instruction from our organizational leaders. It has something to do with tea bags.

I agree smart ones already have it, everyone else is stock piling ammo with corrosive primers, and they will end up with boxes of brass and lead

Brooks Bros. suits?

My God. Was 1:09 kidding, or is he one of the idiots who actually BELIEVED the e-mail you quoted?

It always amazes me how many crazy e-mails I receive from terrified correspondents who don't have the sense to check them out on snopes.com first and find out what b-s they are.

Jar, I was only repeating what Barbara Boxer said about the unruly mobs wearing Brooks Bros. suits. I think she was the one that said we were wearing swastikas too.

Jarhead-

I guess you guys really are lemmings. You just do what "The Big Three" (Rush, Hannity, and Beck) tell you to do.

Ever think it might be a good idea to think for yourself instead of being a damn ditto-head???

It's amazing how many lies have been made up about impending Obama legislation. I know fanatics in both parties are guilty of spreading misinformation, but I've never seen it this bad before.

This isn't the best way for Republicans to win back some seats in 2010.

Jarhead said...

13:55, that's such a tired ad hominem [that's Latin for "blahblahblah"]. Anyone who listens to those guys deserves to be called a "ditto head."

The truth is, by believing that those of us on the right take our marching orders from TV and radio personalities, you exhibit the very characteristics you mock ~ specifically, you are parroting the dogma that the leftists are dictating for its "soldiers": let’s paint the face of the right with the three bozos you named above. These individuals, in reality, are products of the left-wing-spawned “neoconservative” movement that you lefties are so fond of hating. So your disgust with their “neocon” philosophy is akin to you loathing the liberal mug you see every morning in the mirror. Look it up. I’m not joking.

Do some reading. Turn off the radio and TV. Learn. Educate yourself. Espouse informed, intelligent opinions. Now you’re a conservative. Congratulations.

Please try something more original next time.

And enjoy your new asshole, compliments of the Jarhead.

That is all.

Carry on.

Haha, we aren't stockpiling because Obama's taking our guns. We're buying all the guns and ammo to sell to the Mexican drug lords.

Silly Dems. It's ALWAYS about the money.

My heart skipped a bit before I read the Snopes reference.

Yeah.....I stocked up two years ago, via dad's orders. I'm glad I did.

Back in the run-up to the election, I got one of the countless fake blast emails criticizing Obama. A quick check on snopes revealed that it was a lie. When I replied to all the recipients of the original email - not just the right-wingnut who sent it to me - and provided a link to the snopes page debunking the email, I was shocked at how many sent blistering replies back to me, ranting that snopes is actually run by MoveOn.org, funded by Pelosi, etc. I think these are the same people now known as "birthers." There is some serious cognitive dissonance going on these days.

From now on – everyone should list where they live when ever they post. I realize I maybe unfairly condemning Wise County as the home of all the hate filled rants that go on here. The death threats for Obama have gone up 400% from Bush’s time. As a group/country we need to slow up on some of the hate that is breathed around here and other blogs. We need true civil discourse if we are to ever to resolve some of our issues. …..Tarrant County

Jar. Dude you need to brush up on your Latin. "ad hominem" is ("argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.
...wait I think you are correct it is ""blahblahblah"". Good call!

Obama doesn't want to take away guns from anyone. In fact he wants to do to the right wing what whitey did to the negroes by giving every black guy a gun and letting them shoot each other up. Makes perfect sense.

Lets see. Republican Texas passed the Concealed Carry laws. They now have a HUGE database with everybodys name and address that has a gun. They also passed laws requiring every nurse, teacher, realtor, hairdresser and who knows who else to send in their fingerprints. And people are worried about Obama taking your guns? LOL

They already finger print for your CHL. Ammo is available in Indiana. Stock up!

4:33 - it is just the stupida$$ Republicans who want control of everything - including women's uteruses.

Maybe Dems should pass a law that would control a man's penis and specifically where he puts it..

Anonymous said...

What always amazes me is that so few actually check out these crazy emails. These claims are bogus! But dittoheads repeat them anyway. And most respondents here only comment on the ammo topic - not the basic (spurious) claim that some bill will tax or require you to list your guns. Many here are just acting "stupidly."

Nah, Obama is a big time hunter and gun lover. No worries. Eff'ing MORON!

Gun stockpilers and ammo horders want the world to go "Mad Max" so bad. A bunch of them wanted it to do so for the year 2000. They were disappointed. Now there is new hope that Obama will create the need to go Maxy. That guy that killed them ladies already did. The rest of'em, are just waiting for the opportunity to do so. Wait. Wait. One of these days.......................

We can only hope that the country will go "Mad Max" so we can start using our stockpiled weapons and ammo. That is a dream we can all hope for. And we will be ready!

you ammo stockpilers are the reason i can't enjoy shooting at clay targets at an organized shooting event(ATA). shotgun shell prices are outrageous, thanks to panick buying. now i have nothing to do on weekends but sit around & waste away waiting on socialized healthcare & the grim reaper.
maybe some of you should try shooting at clay targets to relieve some stress & take out some aggression that way. instead of venting against each other & obama. remember, alcohol & gunpowder do not mix!
safety first!

20 or so Years from now, when a republican is finally elected president, remind me to buy stock in ammo and gun companies so I can cash in 4 years later when a democrat wins the office back.

Anonymous said...

We don't want to waste our stockpiled ammo on no stinking clay targets. That might be the extra rounds we will need to fight'em off.
