Where has all the ammo gone?

Posted on by

For weeks news of massive purchases of ammunition have sparked concerns across the Internet that the government was preparing for possible clashes with American citizens.

Reports are the DHS has ordered a million rounds of ammunition and large amounts of riot gear. It has even been reported that the amount of ammunition has been redacted from official government documents available to the public. The amount of .223 ammunition purchased by the DHS and ICE is over 4-million dollars.

While some might consider the purchase by these law enforcement agencies as nothing extraordinary, even the least cautious might find in curious that the Social Security Administration and the National Weather service is also stocking up on ammunition.

California, at the same time, is considering legislation that would red flag any person purchasing 1000 rounds of ammunition or more.

Private owners are finding it difficult to find ammunition at a reasonable price in the calibers ordered by the government. Charges have been levied by some gun dealers that the State Department has ordered ammunition being shipped into the United States to be held in storage—at the expense of the business ordering the ammunition—for the sole purpose of driving the price of ammunition up.

Concern is also raised over the United Nations small arms treaty still making its way through the consideration process. Reports are that the small arms treaty effectively nullifies the Second Amendment protection and bans virtually all weapons from private ownership. While the Supreme Court has ruled that treaties cannot violate the Constitution of the United States, fears are that the government could proceed to confiscate and destroy weapons until an elongated court battle could be conducted.

Pentagon Denies Reports of Russian Sub near U.S.

Posted on by

Pentagon denied on Thursday media reports that a Russian nuclear powered submarine cruised unnoticed for several weeks in the Gulf of Mexico near the shores of the United States.

“I don’t know what that information was based on, but it was not correct,” Wendy Snyder, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon, said.

The Washington Free Beacon reported earlier that Russia’s Akula class nuclear powered submarine (Project 971) freely traveled in June and July in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico undetected by the U.S. Navy.

Posted on by

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Coconino County voters within the Page Unified School District #8 (PUSD) and Williams Unified School District #2 (WUSD) will consider override election questions, while those within the Flagstaff Unified School District #1 (FUSD) will decide a special bond election.

In November, Flagstaff voters will decide a Special Bond Election, which will allow the district to issue and sell Class B general obligation bonds in the principal amount of not to exceed $20,790,000 to fund capital improvements.

Williams Unified School District voters will decide the issue of an override election to exceed its revenue control limit by 10 percent. They will be asked to vote on whether, “To adopt a General Maintenance and Operation Budget which exceeds the revenue control limit specified by statute by ten percent for fiscal years 2013-2014 through 2017-2018, such percentage of the District’s allowable revenue control limit will be phased down by one-third in fiscal year 2018-2019 and two-third in fiscal year 2019-2020. The override is a continuation of the existing ten percent override that was previously approved by the voters in fiscal year 2006-2007. If the override is not approved for continuation, the existing ten percent override will phase out by reducing one-third for fiscal year 2013-2014 and another one-third in fiscal 2014-2015.”

Page voters will decide to exceed its revenue control by 15 percent and, “To adopt a General Maintenance and Operation Budget which exceeds the revenue control limit specified by statute by fifteen percent for fiscal years 2013-2014 through 2017-2018 and in fiscal years 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, the amount of the proposed increase will be ten percent and five percent, respectively, of the District’s revenue control limit in each of such years. The 2013-2014 budget override authority represents an extension and increase of the existing ten percent and five percent budget overrides. The District’s existing ten percent override is currently in its first year of the phase out period and has been reduced by one-third for fiscal year 2012-2013. If the override is not approved for continuation, the existing ten percent override will phase out by reducing by another one-third for fiscal year 2013-2014. The existing five percent will phase down by one-third in each fiscal year 2014-2015 and 2015-2016.”

Virginia bakery refuses service to Joe Biden

Posted on by

VIRGINIA—A family-owned business in Virgina known as Crumb and Get it politely refused the Secret Service invitation to stop in their bakery for a photo op.

The business owned by Radison Virginia resident Chris MacMurray referred to the “You didn’t build that” comments of Barrack Obama.

“Very simply,” he said in a news interview, “you didn’t build that speaking of small businesses and entrepreneurs all across the country. And, actually, last night, my wife was up all night long—did not sleep. She’s worked a full twenty-four hours.”

Biden went to the River City Grill instead. Some of the customers of Crumb and Get It were disappointed that they did not get to see the Vice-President.

The Obama statement has caused signs like this to spring up across the country.

One blog complains that this business owner is allowing the statement by Obama to be his voice of reason. The socialist web site refers to it as Romney’s “false campaign ad.”

Obama recently said successful business owners “…didn’t build that” in a recent speech which set off a fire storm of anger. During his first campaign tour he informed Joe the Plumber that he wouldn’t build that.

Secret Service agents returned to the bakery to thank MacMurray for saying no and purchased cookies and cupcakes for themselves.
