National Buy Some Ammo Day Jr.

From Kim

Several people have pointed me to this post by David Codrea, who starts off by noting that the Brady Bunch are going to be, um, active:

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.


I don’t quite know what these morons mean by “illegal gun trafficking”, because it’s already against the law for convicted felons to buy guns from any source. This is like organizing protests against murder or fraud (likewise, both felonies).

Considering that felons acquire their guns mostly by theft, and only some by “street” transactions, I would have thought that the whole thing is pointless. Of course, almost everything the stupid Bradys do is pointless, but that’s a topic for another time.

Codrea has an idea for a counter-protest by gunnies:

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.


...and goes on to say:

We’re far enough away to where this won’t encroach on National Ammo Day, and it would be a great in-your-face to have our enemies’ plans backfire on them.

Frankly, I wouldn’t care if it did encroach on National Ammo Day—the point is to get people to buy lots of ammo, period, so the date is unimportant.

I see it as a win-win-win situation: you get more ammo into your lockers, ammo dealers get a little bump in sales, and the Bradys get a poke in the eye.

Spread the word, folks. Buy a box (or more) on Tuesday August 28th, and stick it to the Brady Bunch.

Indeed.  Spread the word.

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.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
