If they wanted your info it wouldn't be terribly hard for them to obtain. So I don't think having to enter basic info for a petition is that big of a deal.

Just imagine if they had a form with my name, date of birth, address and firearm purchase on it. Glad that doesn't exist.

Well, I had to register for the draft when I was 18, I have worked for a manufacturing subcontractor that required a security clearance, twice. I have sent emails, made phone calls and written letters to my congressional rep's and to the white house, paid taxes to state and federal government, signed multiple petitions to the government, joined the NRA, GOA NAGR, RMGO, passed numerous firearms purchase background checks, flown to the UK many times, flown all over the US, been called up for jury duty many times in state and federal courts, acquired a CCW in CO and FL, I am serving on the Larimer County District Attorney's community relations commission and posted a lot of times here. I am not paranoid about the government having my information, they have had it for almost all of my life. They are probably bored with me by now.




TEA baby, TEA!

***I had to remove the petition link because that's all people were doing is signing the petition which doesn't really help us in this fight***

SAMPLE LETTER:

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to voice my strong opposition to the proposed change to current law that would make it illegal to manufacture, import or sell on the open market M855 / SS109 ammunition.

The claimed purpose of this change is to “protect the lives and safety of law enforcement officers from the threat posed by ammunition capable of penetrating a protective vest when fired from a handgun”.

As the Technical Branch well knows, all rifle ammunition of a common caliber such as .223 / 5.56 is capable of penetrating threat level IIA and IIIA body armor regardless of the firearm that is used to fire it. M855 / SS109 is no more of a threat to law enforcement than M193 or Horandy VMAX loads are.

It’s also worth noting that rifle caliber pistols are rarely used in violent crime, their usage is a statistical zero for all practical purposes, which further begs the question as to why this proposed rule change is being considered.

Banning the availability of affordable surplus ammunition under the false pretense that it’s in the name of officer safety is a clear violation of our 2nd Amendment rights.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

This is why I like it hear on this site. No matter what the subject, in short order the topic will move to a post dissection with just a smattering of the original topic thrown in.

There's really not much to say about the OT anymore. That is, unless you just want to say they're a bunch of turkey fuckers. BATFE = Big Ass Turkey Fuckers...and explosives
