Calling ex pistol shooters....

#1 Post by Daryll »

I've been in conversation on an American shooting forum and had lots of questions about when we lost our pistols... I think Obama has them scared...

I've been asked what official notification there was of the confiscation, and did I still have the letter(s)...

I've pointed out that this was nearly 20 years ago, and even thought I'm a typical male hoarder, i do remember throwing the paperwork out a few years ago.

Does anyone still have any documentation from the period that they could scan and send to me...???

Obviously blank out any personal details....

Alternatively, are there examples on the 'net anywhere...?

Thanks in advance...

Funnily enough I was looking through my paperwork file regarding this over Christmas.
I didn't know whether to scream or cry!
I have just about every thing.
I will scan some of them over the weekend.
PM your email address to me.

I suspect Obama has more chance of turning white. 8-)

Yes, I was quite surprised that they felt threatened, but some sound convinced that Mrs Clinton will get in, and start a round up..

Other people simply say it will never happen, or it will start a civil war if they try..

The Gov'ment's main problem, is that only some states have any records of who own guns....so how will they collect what they don't know about..?

Maybe because as law abdiding citizens they will do as they are told..meanwhile the criminals and terrorists armed by Obama will have plenty of guns and ammo and crime will skyrocket as the Obama voter base take advantage of a disarmed population.....or they could all say NO!

Even in that states that do have gun registration ( voluntary in a lot of states) you can guarantee there will be thousands of unregistered guns.....when it comes to AKs, for example, they are built from receiver flats and parts kits in folks garages and sheds.....all perfectly legal but impossible to trace.

The US Gov. Knows that they can't have a general Gun ban just now, they just want everybody to register their guns saying it will keep them out of the hands of the bad guys.

We all know the next step after gun registration now, don't we?

I suspect that any 'grab' will happen in Kanada before it migrates south to the States.
