Ammo For Sale

Bans, bans, every where bans

Mr. and Mrs. Chicago, turn them in:

Chicago gun owners had until Feb.12, 2007 to remove newly banned firearms from Cook Co. or turn them over to police.

There is no grandfather clause to exempt firearms owned before the board expanded its ban to include semi-auto shotguns that have the capacity to hold more than five rounds; how many 2″ shorties will your semi-auto hold?

Turn in the ammo first. In New Jersey:

Democratic lawmakers and Ceasefire NJ, an antigun group, unveiled a plan on Monday to make it illegal to sell .50 caliber weapons in New Jersey.

And in England, where soon everything will be made of Nerf lest our limey homies hurt their little selves:

The sale of imitation samurai swords could be banned by the end of the year, the Home Office announced today.

Importing or hiring the weapons could also be made illegal following a string of samurai sword attacks in recent years.

Well, if the people had guns, swords wouldn’t be so threatening, would they?

    The only thing I have to say to a ban on swords is this.

  2. SayUncle » War on Pointy Objects Says:

    […] mentioned that Britain is moving to ban crappy swords, which reminded me that Britain’s war on pointy objects doesn’t end with cheap knockoff […]

    Yeah, long blades aren’t suicide at close range. I’d prefer a gun and the will to use it, but blades of any type are still a better choice than none. Legislating them seems idiotic, though. Do they think it’s that hard to sharpen a 3 foot stick of metal? For the basic stuff, you can make one in a home forge in less than a day!

    Could be worse. The Orwellian-sounding “The French Constitutional Council [url=http://news.yahoo.com/s/macworld/20070306/tc_macworld/franceban20070306_0]banned the filming or broadcasting of violent acts by those who aren’t professional journalists[/url].

    Ah, crap, wrong code formating. That should be

    banned the filming or broadcasting of violent acts by those who aren’t professional journalists“.

    I’m waiting for Britain to ban rocks bigger than pebble size.
    How about kettles or pots filled with steaming hot water?
    They’ll be banning all those neat house cleansers kept under
    sinks too, bombs you know.
    If they ban pointy kitchen knives, they’ll need to grind off
    the points on forks, or ban them entirely leaving only
    spoons to eat with.
    The list will miost likely grow ever more to include anything
    made of any hard substance with which one could have a
    weapon.
    Why don’t they just go ahead and ban imaginations.

    They are in the process of banning life.

    Its already past Feb 12, 2007

    The limey bastards don’t have any teeth anyway so this could be a good thing!!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
