ACORN can’t spell

You remember ACORN right? Obama backers, fraudulent voter registrations, public funding? Well, they have another agenda too. Your firearms.

ACORN’s latest: “STOP THE BULLET”
The grassroots community organization, ACORN, is fighting for a new law it says will save lives. “Stop the Bullet” is a campaign that would make it harder for felons to buy ammunition from stores.

When you buy a gun, gun shops have to run a background check first to make sure you’re not a convicted felon. Although it is also illegal for convicted felons to buy bullets, a background check is not required. As it stands now, gun shops aren’t required to ask any questions before selling bullets, as long as the buyer is 18 and can present identification.

Community organizer for the local NC ACORN group, The Rev. Melvin Whitley, says it’s too easy for criminals to buy ammo, and he plans to close that loophole. ACORN’S initiative would expand the law to include ammunition, and may even include a requirement for bullet permits.

“The problem with the law is that it allows criminals to have access to bullets. And it’s the bullets that’s killing us,” according to Whitley.

But gun shop owners disagree. They feel it’s just another way organizations are trying to take away their Second Amendment rights.

“We have to make it clear we are not talking about gun control, we’re talking about bullets,” said Durham City Council Member Howard Clement III.

Stupid stupid ACORN. They believe a “loophole” exists because no cop is standing behind the counter to PROVE that felons aren’t breaking the law. It’s against the law to speed too. And to sell mattresses without those little tags on them. Let’s put a cop in every bedding department in the country! Let’s put a cop right next to every driver on the highway! Damnation, it’s obvious that the mere presence of laws doesn’t do anything to actually prevent a crime from taking place! We have to do more than that! Enforcement doesn’t work either, because that’s after the fact. We need to close those loopholes in people’s minds! We need to stop them before they commit a crime. Why don’t we reeducate the entire population? Why don’t we teach them all how to think properly? We could send them all off to camps for that. Why, there can’t be more than 25 million or so folks we couldn’t get through to. That’s the real loophole that needs closing!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
