Cassi Creek: I have
no idea how many of our neighbors own firearm.
I have no idea how many firearms there are in this single valley. Most disturbing, I have no idea how many of
our neighbors are prohibited from possessing firearms but still possess them.
There is no
doubt in my mind that there are militia-like groups in this region composed of
people who believe that they may be called upon to rise up and protect the
citizenry against a “tyrannical government.”
It is apparent that these people failed high school civics.
They firmly
believe that they are capable of defeating “the government” in open combat. Apparently they must each have a critical
number of firearms so that they can, in some yet to be seen manner defeat the
U.S. Army.
These are
among the people who have been panic
buying firearms, essentially since Obama was first elected to the
Presidency. Add in the incitation provided by the NRA and you get to the point
of shelf depletion. Most guns stores and
other firearms sources have no more “assault
style” rifles in their inventory. The
panic has become so prevalent that people are reportedly buying rifles that
they have not only no need to possess, but which they don’t even know how to
operate.
Be certain
you understand that this panic buying has only targeted the “assault style
rifel. That is a rifle with a black
barrel and heat shield/forestock, collapsible butt stock, box magazine holding 30 rounds of
ammunition, and ready for lots of cool lights, laser designators, and other
ad-ons. Most of them are chambered to
fire the Remington.223 bullet (NATO 5.56), but some are chambered for the much
cheaper .22caliber bullet. The local gun
store owner related to the local newspaper that for many customers any black
rifle will do.
For handguns,
the major attractans are a 30 round magazine ( makes the pistol horribly unwieldy)
and lights and lasers.
That’s all the news not fit to print today.
Shabbat Shalom!
