Buy Ammo on Aug 28!
Via Kim Du Toit comes David Codrea’s call to action:
On August 28, activists in cities across America will hold a national day of protest to focus attention on the scourge of illegal gun trafficking.
As I said on KABA Newslink Comments:
I’m going to try and start a blog swarm at WarOnGuns to get gun owners to buy a box of ammo on Aug 28–be nice if gun stores would offer some sort of nominal discount or a door prize (no purchase necessary to enter, just to keep things legal) or some such on that day to encourage this–Tuesdays may typically be slow days anyway, so this would get people in their stores and probably work out to their profit.
It’d be nice unintended consequences for the Bradys if we could demonstrate a few percentage points of sales increases on that day because of this.
(emphasis mine)
So, buy a box and stick it to the Brady Bunch!

Hey, I get an ammo day on my birfday just like Kim!

I actually don’t BELIEVE there is a “scrounge of illegal gun trafficing.” Gunsfire kills a lot less folks than doctors screw ups, cars, civil governance, et, et.

I just want to see where they plan to protest.
Downtown back alleys at midnight, maybe?

Would a few tins of Beeman Crow Magnum eeevvil hollow point pellets in .20 cal. for my Sheridan Blue Streak count?

“I just want to see where they plan to protest.

Gangster/drug kingpin hang-outs in LA, NJ and Chicago. More gun laws for them to break, on top of all the many they’re already breaking, will no doubt cause the gangsters to rethink their life choices, cause them to willingly leave the drug business, get jobs at McDonalds and 7-11s, go back to school and lead honest, productive lives:
“We were breaking fifty laws, fellahs, and that was one thing, but now we’re breaking fifty-one. That’s just one too many, so this is where I draw the line. Its time to close up shop and go straight. Now, where’s the nearest employment office?”
=================================
You might buy several boxes, or a case, or two cases. The extra practice you can get with all that ammo will be both fun and productive.

Since I’m down to less than 100 rounds each of .45acp and .45-70 it sounds like a good idea to restock anyway.

I’m in, the better half is in and we’ll buy one box for each gun! You can never have TOO MUCH ammo!

Better yet, buy a gun.

I’ll pick up a few more boxes of .22 and .45
